Tool Overview

Gamma

Freemium

Gamma is a next-generation AI presentation and content platform that creates professional presentations, documents, and web pages from text input using artificial intelligence. Developed by an experienced San Francisco-based team, Gamma completely rethinks the traditional slide-by-slide approach by producing content-focused, visually striking, and interactive presentations. Users simply enter a topic, outline, or a few bullet points, and the AI instantly generates a polished presentation complete with visual hierarchy, professional typography, harmonious color palette, relevant high-quality images, and intelligent layout. Supported output formats include classic slide presentations, scrollable web pages, and interactive documents. The editing interface uses an intuitive block editor with drag-and-drop content blocks including rich text, image galleries, video embeds, live web content, interactive tables, dynamic charts, and engagement elements like polls. Instead of rigid slide constraints, Gamma offers flexible adaptive layouts that follow the natural flow of content. One-click theme switching, custom color palettes, and brand-aligned design options ensure visual consistency. Presentations are entirely web-based and shareable via links, accessible on any device without special software. Detailed analytics track who viewed the presentation, for how long, and which sections received the most attention. The platform serves startup founders, product managers, marketing professionals, educators, consultants, and anyone who regularly prepares presentations. The free plan offers 400 AI credits to get started, the Plus plan provides more credits and customization, and the Pro plan includes unlimited AI generation, advanced analytics, custom branding, and priority support. Gamma reduces presentation preparation from hours to minutes while producing modern, elegant designs.

Tome

[Discontinued - April 2025] Tome was an AI-powered narrative platform that created professional content in presentation, document, and storytelling formats. Founded by Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani (both ex-Meta) in San Francisco, Tome aimed to transcend the static slide format of traditional tools by creating dynamic, interactive, and visually rich narratives. The platform offered fast AI presentation creation where users entered a topic or outline and received a complete presentation with appropriate images, icons, layouts, and color schemes. DALL-E integration enabled custom AI-generated images. Design capabilities went beyond traditional 16:9 slides, offering full-page scrollable layouts, multi-column structures, embedded media including video, 3D models, live web pages, and Figma prototypes, interactive elements, and rich typography. At its peak the product was used by more than 20 million people. However, Tome shut down its presentation product (Tome Slides) on April 30, 2025, and its founders pivoted the company into Lightfield, an AI-native sales CRM — the presentation tool is no longer available to new users. Users seeking similar capabilities are recommended to explore Gamma, Beautiful.ai, or Presentations.ai as alternatives, all of which continue to develop AI-powered presentation features with active support and regular updates.
