Hey there. Welcome to Day 3 of our 5-day practical AI series!

Yesterday, we explored the AI productivity boom and the rise of "secret cyborgs".

Today, we're diving into one of the biggest time-savers in the professional world: instant AI-powered presentation creation with Gamma AI.

By the end of this email, you'll understand:

• What Gamma is and why it's a game-changer

• How to access and use Gamma for best results

• How to generate professional presentations from a single prompt

Let's get into it.

What Is Gamma?

Gamma is an AI tool that's revolutionizing how professionals create presentations, documents, and websites from text input, without the need for any design skills.

For the sake of today’s tutorial, we’re covering our favorite feature (and what Gamma is known for): generating presentations/slide decks in seconds.

How to Access Gamma (it’s simple):

1. Head over to Gamma's website

2. Click the "Sign Up" button to register for free

3. Start with the free plan, which offers almost all features

Now, click “Create New (AI)” to create a new presentation. You’ll be welcomed with three options:

• Paste in text: Create from notes, an outline, or existing content

• Generate: Create from a one-line prompt in a few seconds

• Import a file: Transform or enhance existing docs and presentations

We’ll be selecting “Generate” for this tutorial. 

Describe Your Presentation

You’ll be asked to provide details about the presentation you wish to create. This includes the topic, purpose, target audience, desired length, and any specific requirements or sections you want to include. Provide as many details as possible.

Click on “Generate Outline” and Gamma will create the outline for you. Edit the content of the cards/slides as needed. You can also remove or add slides.

Scroll down to adjust the amount of text and the style of AI-generated images for your presentation, and click “Continue”.

Select a Theme

Gamma will offer a selection of pre-designed templates to choose from. Browse through the options and select one that best fits your presentation's theme and style.

After providing the necessary details and selecting a theme, click on the “Generate” button.

Wait a few seconds for the full slide presentation to load.

Customize and Download

After the initial generation, Gamma will present you with the draft version of your slide presentation. Take some time to review each slide, checking for accuracy and overall quality.

On the right tool menu, check built-in editing tools to customize the slides further, adjusting the content, formatting, and design elements as needed.

When you're ready, click on the three dots “…” and export your presentation in your desired format (e.g., PowerPoint, PDF) for sharing or presenting.

Using this, Gamma can now generate entire slide presentations for you from a single text prompt, and you can edit and add any more details from the perfectly-designed presentation draft (if needed). 

Hot tip: Use the wide view orientation and export as PDF to create eye-catching LinkedIn carousels!

Your Action Steps:

1. Sign up for Gamma's free plan

2. Create a presentation on a topic you're familiar with

3. Experiment with different prompts and styles

Tomorrow, we’ll be sending you a full copy of one of our premium workshops, covering how you can create AI agents that respond to emails on your behalf with no technical skills required. You won't want to miss it!
