When to stick with Gamma

Switching is not always the better move

  • You need to move quickly from prompt or outline to a polished visual deck.
  • Gamma's visual-doc format fits how your team shares proposals, briefs, or explainers.
  • Switching to a design suite or writing assistant would split the workflow across too many tools.
