Reviewer scorecard
“Death to PowerPoint. Gamma generates presentations that look like a designer made them. The one-click redesign feature is clutch when clients want 'something different.'”
“The hybrid approach is genius — I take rough notes during the meeting and Granola fills in everything I missed. Way more useful than a raw transcript.”
“For internal decks and investor updates, Gamma saves hours. The output quality is genuinely good. For keynotes at major events, you'll still want custom design work.”
“Differentiated from Fireflies/Otter by keeping you engaged in the meeting. You still take notes, AI just enhances them. That's a better model for retention.”
“The embed system is powerful — live charts, Figma embeds, code blocks. It's more like an interactive document than a slide deck. The API for programmatic generation is useful for reports.”
“Clean Mac app, works with any meeting platform, and the notes are actually useful after the meeting. Simple concept, excellent execution.”
