Gamma, an AI tool designed to build presentations, just launched a massive update called Gamma 3.0 that aims to get rid of that “tedious” work forever.
This update is a “generational leap” for the tool, moving it from a simple slide generator to a powerful AI assistant that can create, edit, and even automate your entire presentation workflow.
Here are the two biggest changes, explained in simple terms.

1. The “Gamma Agent”: Your New AI Co-pilot
This is the main event. The Gamma Agent is an AI assistant you can talk to. Instead of you editing slides one by one, you can give the agent a single, broad command, and it will make sweeping changes across the entire presentation.
Here’s what it can do:
- Make Your Slides Look Better, Instantly: Imagine you’ve finished your 20-slide draft, but it’s mostly text and looks boring. You can simply tell the agent, “make it more visual.” The AI will then scan every slide, find data that could be a chart or graph, and automatically visualize it for you.
- Turn Messy Notes into Polished Slides: This is the most powerful part. You can take a blurry screenshot of your messy whiteboard notes, upload it, and give it to the agent. The AI will:
- Read your handwriting.
- Synthesize the information.
- Search the web to find any facts, stats, or information needed to “fill in the gaps.”
- Build a clean, professional slide (or even a table) that automatically matches your company’s brand colors and theme.
2. The “Gamma API”: Putting Your Decks on Autopilot
“API” is a techy word, but think of it as a “digital bridge” that lets different software programs talk to each other. The new Gamma API lets you connect Gamma to thousands of other apps, like Zapier, Slack, or your email.
This lets you put presentation-making on autopilot.
Here’s a perfect example from their announcement: Imagine you work in sales. You could build a workflow where, after every customer call, your call transcript is automatically sent to Gamma. The Gamma API would:
- Read the transcript.
- Identify the customer’s main problems and interests from the conversation.
- Take your standard sales deck template.
- Instantly create a new, personalized deck that focuses only on the points that specific customer cared about.
- It could even be set up to automatically send that new deck to the customer.
All of this would happen in the background, moments after your call ends, without you lifting a finger.
Bonus: New Plans for Teams and Power Users
Along with these new features, Gamma is also launching Team, Business, and Ultra plans. This shows the tool is growing up and is now ready for entire organizations, not just individual users, to use for their “visual storytelling.”
Gamma’s goal is clear: they want to fix what’s broken about PowerPoint. They want to “lower the floor” so anyone can make a beautiful presentation, and “raise the ceiling” so power users can do things (like deck automation) that were never possible before.
