How to use Gamma AI to create stunning presentations

However, with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, your journey to achieving the perfect presentation can be much easier. All you need is a general theme or idea, and with the right AI tools - and a little tweaking - to create a great presentation in no time.

In this article, we'll explore Gamma, a powerful AI-based presentation creation tool, and how to use it to create presentations from scratch.

1. Use Reminders Effectively

Reminders act as building blocks in your presentation. Therefore, writing effective reminders will help you create a great presentation. The better your prompts, the better the results. Therefore, you should strive to provide Gamma with prompts that clearly describe what you want in your slides.

Context is also important, so you should try to provide some background information as much as possible to get more accurate results. This may include the intended audience or the type of tone you want to target.

To make your prompts richer, you can try adding keywords from your presentation topic. For example, a presentation prompt on 'Climate change and its impact on the Earth' might include keywords like sustainability and carbon emissions.

Now, bring your presentation to life using the example suggested above.

To get started, you can select the Guided option . This will prompt you to give Gamma a theme for the slide creation. Alternatively, you can select the Text to Deck option - this will prompt you to feed the AI ​​an existing document to create the slide.

For this exercise, we will use the Guided option . After selecting this, you will see a text box to enter the subject. You can choose from one of the highlighted suggestions.

At this point, you can choose to continue with the created outline or click the Try Again button if you're not satisfied with the results. Also, you can edit the outline if it doesn't fit.

If you still don't get the right outline, you can rephrase the original prompt completely.

When you feel comfortable with the outline, click Continue to move on to the next stage.

2. Choose the right theme

Once you've created an outline, the next stage is to choose a theme for your presentation.

Themes play an important role in the overall look and feel of your presentation. The type of theme you choose will often depend on factors such as the message you are trying to convey or the brand design you want to express.

Here, you can choose a theme of your choice or let Gamma randomly choose a theme for you.

3. Use the editing tool

You now have a first draft of your presentation, but your journey doesn't end there. Luckily, Gamma has a number of editing tools that you can use to improve things a bit.

However, you want to keep things to a minimum to avoid slideshow design mistakes in your work. First, you can decide to change the card template, insert a new card, or change the layout of an existing card.

Here's the trick: You can drag a card onto an existing card to embed one into the other. This allows you to provide more information while maintaining a clean design.

In addition, in the Text Formatting menu , you can insert other elements like Toggles , Lists and Headers to make your presentation more cohesive.

Another cool thing you can do is put information in Callout boxes . They are useful for highlighting key points, summarizing, or asking questions in your presentation.

Images are important in any presentation, as they help describe ideas and concepts - sometimes faster and more effectively than words.

In Gamma, you also have the option to insert images or videos from your computer or search for content online. You can choose them from sites like Unsplash, YouTube or Giphy without leaving the app.

To do this, click on the menu bar on the right and select Edit with AI .

When you're done creating your presentation, click the Present icon in the top right corner of the page. You can choose full screen view or use another option to display in tabs.
