Everyone is sick of generic AI, including us.

Gamma was the first AI presentation platform to reach real scale. But now that AI tools are everywhere, everything looks the same.

Earlier this summer, we came to an uncomfortable conclusion: without a step change in visual variety, Gamma’s output would look and feel too similar to all the other AI tools. The entire point of a presentation is to help someone "get" your idea, to see it as unique and do something with it.

We started over. Today we're shipping Gamma 5, the biggest product overhaul in our company's history.

We rebuilt Gamma to create presentations that actually look like you and your brand. Your teams can design anything they dream up, following your brand's aesthetic or something entirely new, with every frontier and image model under the hood. And the same goes for your docs, social assets, and graphics.

We revamped our agent, design tools, editing, import, export, connectors, and more.

Get your ideas out there.

Gamma 5 is #1 on Design Arena, beating Opus 5.5 on general purpose slide creation.

We launched Gamma 5 because AI made it easy to create, but then everything started to look the same. We rebuilt Gamma with a new agent, new editor, and a new generation experience to give you the best visual output. These are presentations that look like you and your brand, with a creative partner to help visualize any idea you have.

Incredibly proud of what our team has built and excited to ship more.

Chris Paul is one of my favorite NBA point guards of all time. Now, Gamma is helping him show off his new snack brand.

Our mission has always been simple: help people turn their ideas into something they can share. Seeing Chris and his team try out Gamma to amplify the Good Eatn' brand is a great example of what that actually looks like. We're excited to see Gamma power more businesses around the world.

And if you haven't tried his snacks yet, give them a shot.

You can feel it in the first 3 seconds.

AI-created “slop” filled with the average of every pitch deck it has seen. No one remembers anything on that deck.

Producing anything is faster now: text, slide decks, music, images, video, everything.

But it does not create any actual impact. If the idea behind the communication isn’t from you, but a machine, it’s useless and might even be called out.

The most beautiful deck in the world is still mediocre if the idea inside it has no thought.

Recently @Clay put out some definitive rules on writing:

- Stand behind every sentence.
- If someone asks what a line means, you do not get to say the model wrote it.
- A short prompt that produces a long document hands the real work to the reader. That’s no good.

The direction is the same: ideas are to be owned by humans only. AI can't be held accountable, and that makes all the difference.

We are starting to see some acceleration in discovery rates due to AI, in areas that matter:

-Cybersecurity research is showing a clear jump.
-Math is moving.
-Algorithm work is still lagging, which is useful data on where current tools still struggle.

I think what's happening is a compression of the time taken between asking a question and getting a verified answer. AI is making this cycle shorter, and the effect is compounding now.

Founders who treat AI as just a productivity feature will miss the big shift, as those use cases are still based on the old ways of working.

The ones who understand this and act accordingly will build companies completely different from what we have today.
