What is Gamma AI?

Gamma AI is an innovative artificial intelligence platform that revolutionizes how presentations, documents, and webpages are created.

Gamma automatically handles visual design, layout optimization, formatting consistency, and aesthetic coherence, allowing users to focus entirely on message and content. Whether preparing business pitches, creating educational materials, building portfolio websites, or developing marketing documents, Gamma streamlines the process dramatically.
