Gamma - Write like a doc, present like a deck

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Thanks for hunting us Hiten 🙏 I'm Grant, one of the co-founders of Gamma. Super excited to share what we've been working on 👇 Every year, half a billion people create presentations in Google Slides and Powerpoint. Slides have been the language of business communication for more than 30 years. While the rest of the productivity suite has seen notable upgrades over the years, slides as a format have remained generally unchanged: their dimensions are fixed (a nod to the 35mm days), they're built for linear, one-way presentations, and designing them is still painful. This past year, we've been working on a completely new approach to presentations and decks in private beta. While we're still super early, we're excited to open things up today, and wanted the PH community to be among the first to try out the product. Free to use. No trial period. Just create your account and start building. Here's what you can expect from Gamma: 🏎️ It's fast: Spend less time aligning boxes and formatting things to fit on a slide. Replace strenuous PowerPoint flows with the ease and joy of building a Notion doc. 👌 It's simple: Stop wasting time making your deck look nice. One-click themes in Gamma let you restyle your deck without having to rework it each time. ⚡ It's interactive: Most slide decks today feel flat. Gamma offers more multimedia support and a set of new primitives to help you increase engagement, both live and async. 🤝 It's collaborative: Whether you're building a deck on your own or jamming with your entire team, we want your experience to feel smooth. ✨ And a ton more: There are so many other features we can't wait for you try out, including Analytics to understand engagement, Channels to organize your team's work, and Templates to get you started right away. As first time founders, it's a dream come true to launch on Product Hunt. We look forward to your feedback and sincerely appreciate the support!

Hey everyone 👋 I'm James, one of the co-founders. Grant, Jon, and I go way back - the three of us met at Optimizely, where we worked together for over 5 years. It's an awesome feeling to finally be launching on Product Hunt today! We love getting feedback, so please don't hesitate to reach out 😀 Let us know what your favorite features are (or what you'd love to see added) in the comments 👇

Hi everyone, I'm Jon, one of the co-founders. It's great to be here today! We've been hard at work on this for over a year and I'm so psyched to finally be releasing. We hope you love it and can't wait to hear your feedback. Please ask us anything, we'll be here for the next 24 hours. And one more thing - everyone who signs up today will get branded swag featuring our mascot Sal until supplies run out ⏰

Congrats on the launch! Great team!

Oh wow! @boroskoyo What do you say? Shall we share our weekly updates using Gamma next week?

My team has been using Gamma for organizing ideas and preparing for client presentations. There is SUCH a need for this! Google Presentations take so much work to make look polished and presentable - and they don't look good on mobile. I didn't know I needed Gamma until I knew I needed Gamma!

Been lucky enough to use Gamma for a few months, and I find it pretty pleasant to use. I don't see anyone comparing it to Tome yet, so here's my $0.02: they're very similar, but Gamma is much farther along in development - many more block types and you can actually move them around and position them in a very intuitive Notion-y way. I've used a lot of tools in this space now that I think about it, thanks to Product Hunt. Gamma definitely has carved out a definite niche in my workflow. Today I mostly use beautiful.ai for large meetings (like company all-hands) or pitch decks, Notion for detailed documentation, and Gamma for stuff in between (e.g. smaller team meetings, quarterly planning, and so on).

Gamma is such a delight to use. I've used lots of personal knowledge management tools, but Gamma has the best flow from writing -> presenting.

Stoked about this news! Leo Da Vinci said it best: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Even in just my early use, Gamma is already helping our team get systematic simplicity in our comms. It cuts through a noisy, chaotic market, and it's actually making a big difference (in sales use-cases, customer success use-cases, internal all-hands use-cases, etc). Eg. I've increased engagement in my sales collateral by over 86% since testing out Gamma as a tool for delivering info to warm prospects in a simple way (cool analytics feature is showing me improvement over time). Also, we've closed more enterprise deals in the last 2 months than in the previous 6 months combined...so there's that. (and with shorter sales cycles - sub 1.5 months). Can't wait to see where the product goes from here!

Happy to see you on the front page today! Congrats on the launch, ?makers 🙌 Would love to have your lessons learned and insights on how to leverage Product Hunt. Maybe a Gamma presentation?

Congrats on the release, team Gamma! 🚀 Product looks incredible

I’ve been lucky enough to use Gamma in beta the last few months and love how easy it is to make my memos and presentations beautiful with very little effort (non-designer here 🙋🏻‍♀️). The new templates are awesome, I’m excited to move even more types of work over to Gamma. This team has been super thoughtful in incorporating user feedback and executing quickly. Congrats on the launch, @gslee @jon_noronha @jamis0n and team!!

Can honestly say this is one of the best products I've used in years. I'm a power Notion user for both internal & external use and I continue to return to Gamma instead for its ease-of-use and feature set. Brilliant stuff here.

Congrats on the launch! Gamma is helping me tell better stories with very little effort!

Nice tool, nice UI! One of the most comfortable app for presentation I used. Thank you guys and good luck!

Gamma is really so fun and easy to use. I don't know, it just feels "snappy"! My sister Jess (one of the engineers) has been talking about this project for soooo long, and all the awesome people behind it. I'm happy to see it launch!!!!! I'm inspired by @melissae -- now I want to build my portfolio when I start looking for a job next year :)

Docs are easy to write, and slides are good for presentation. Combining the best part of both is a great idea. 🧠

I have been an early Gamma user and it's changed the way I present. I don't have to worry about fitting my idea to slides or thinking about the best way to present. It just works. If you need a new way to tell your stories, a way where the tool gets out of the way and just lets you work, Gamma is that way. Use it, it's great.

Congrats on the launch! Looks like a different and useful alternative.

Congrats on the launch! As a customer education professional and beta tester, I see the potential for a product like Gamma to make it infinitely easier to communicate complex ideas in simple ways. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here!
