I have seen many AI PPT-making software, but I was finally amazed by Gamma. Gamma is a PPT production tool based on artificial intelligence technology that can help users easily create high-quality PPT presentations.
Pain point solution
Compared with the traditional way of making PPT, Gamma can solve the following 7 pain points:
Generate PPT in one sentence
To make PPT traditionally, we first have to define a theme, whether the theme is voluntary or forced, accepted or not.
Under the premise of reluctance or lack of experience, the primary problem faced is lack of ideas . You need to rack your brains to plan the outline, search various information on the Internet to find templates, and finally find a template that matches well. Otherwise, you have to pay and cannot download it, or you have to spend a lot of effort to make the post-boss Say No !.
Gamma directly helps you solve the above-mentioned problems of "no experience", "no ideas" and "no template" . Gamma's performance moment officially begins below. . . .
First prepare to generate
As shown in the figure, you only need to enter a PPT topic, and Gamma will generate an outline based on the topic. (Of course, if you want to modify the outline, you can.)
Click Continue to automatically generate PPT content based on the outline and automatically add pictures .
The following is the generation process, please don’t disturb~~
The picture below is being generated based on the outline. The AI is busy, don't move, you can have a cup of coffee with your legs crossed. . . . , enjoy the happy time after having Gamma.
The final result is this, let me ask you whether you want to worry or not.
In order to better reflect the real-time effect, I will not use the official template generation. The official template effect is more explosive. Here is a general theme. (As for why this theme is, everyone knows. Thank you in advance for your support. ,Ha ha~), the love gif is as follows.
Automatically map
You can see that the generated PPT is completely based on the outline, and the pictures will be automatically matched according to the text, such as "Open the door to the programming blackboard report" on the first page (some inaccuracies in expression can be ignored)~), it really has a sparkling door on the right side for you.
The picture below shows an example in another scenario:
- Fully illustrated “bookshelf” with content
- The interactive communication picture "Q" means question
- The "light bulb" pictured with inspiration is like a beacon of light that inspires people.
Although these pictures are more standardized and discussion-oriented, it still takes time to find them yourself and paste them up in a unified style. There are ready-made tools to help you do it, why not, right?~。
Diversified styles
Many times when making PPT, the style of each page is either left and right, or top and bottom. If there are no pictures, it will look a bit monotonous and unaesthetic. But when Gamma generates PPT, it will select diversified styles according to your content, so that each page of PPT will look fresh and new.
The overall effect can be seen in the final PPT, which contains 5 styles. Of course, the choice of style is also particular, based on the needs of the content. Rather than just being consistent across the board.
For example, if the content is in a horizontal relationship, use this method to express juxtaposition.
If there is a progressive and hierarchical relationship between content, you can use the following sequence style.
spotlight
In traditional PPT presentations, it is more troublesome to achieve a spotlight effect that highlights a certain content. You need to manually add text or pictures to fade in and out to achieve the purpose of highlighting the key points. Gamma has its own spotlight effect. As soon as it came out, the level was invisibly raised to another level.
The correct way to eat in spotlight mode: Upper right Present (Demonstration) → Spotlight (Spotlight) → Keyboard (up and down buttons to switch, left and right to switch PPT pages)
Love gif (size limit, record a low-resolution one and see~~)
AI magic
Gamma has powerful AI magic that can automatically optimize the layout, fonts, colors and other aspects of PPT, making the PPT production process more efficient.
How to eat: Click the AI assistant icon in the middle below each page
Then you can use AI to manipulate the PPT slide content.
In the following example, I want to change the position of the image to the right.
So enter "move the picture to the right position" in the AI assistant, and the result will help you adjust the position of the picture. If you are not satisfied with the effect, you can choose "original" in the list to keep it unchanged.
Of course, you can also use some of the preset instructions in the AI assistant, such as changing pictures, etc. to quickly enter commands. These commands are also better supported by itself, and the effect is more obvious when used.
The entire operation process is as follows:
Enter math symbols and codes
From the perspective of a PPT novice, compared to the traditional method of inputting mathematical symbols and codes, I find the desired mathematical symbols and related codes online more by pasting, and directly take screenshots and paste them into PPT as pictures.
However, Gamma supports entering mathematical symbols and codes like this:
Mathematics Symbol
Gamma inputs mathematical symbols through KaTeX . If you don't know KaTeX, it doesn't matter. Just ask ChatGPT.
Then copy directly into Gamma. If there are many situations where educators input numerical symbols, it is recommended to learn more about KaTeX writing. After all, it is a universal solution.
How to insert numeric symbols?
Step 1: Select which math block.
Step 2: Enter the KaTeX expression and press Enter.
Step 3: Results display
code entry
The code input type is the same as the input of numbers and symbols. Click the code block in the sidebar and enter the code. It is not expanded here. Here is the display effect:
Highlight the key points
Sometimes there is inevitably a lot of text in our PPT, and the overall look is not refreshing enough. At this time, you can only display the title, and then click on the title to elaborate on it.
Step 1: Select Aa in the menu bar on the right → Switch
Step 2: Enter the title, and then write the longer text below. When the text is finally closed, the performance is as follows
Step 3: When giving a PPT presentation, you can click on the title to expand and explain the details.
In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned functions that I think are relatively bright, there are many functions that can be explored by yourself, such as changing the entire PPT template through themes to generate a different overall style, inserting Douyin links, and directly using slashes to quickly input in PPT Required elements, etc. . .
How to register
If you want to use Gamma, you can register by following these steps:
1. Register an account
Just fill in your email and password through the Gamma official registration link . For this step, you can use Google or your usual email address.
2. Open the email address filled in above and click Verify Address
This is in English, just click the button in the middle.
Important important important : This step of the ladder must be linked to a global proxy, otherwise the web page will not be displayed after clicking . Students who are not sure can communicate in the background through "Programming Blackboard Report".
3. Continue until the end~
4. Here you can enter the PPT theme.
shortcoming
Having said so many advantages, let’s talk about the disadvantages.
After registration, you can get 400 points. Making PPT and AI will consume points, but it is enough to make a few PPTs.
You can earn points by upgrading your membership, inviting friends, or inviting friends to the workspace to share and make PPT.
think
The author examines the Gamma product from the perspective of a programmer. Students who do not have programming basics can skip it directly.
In terms of implementation, Gamma is actually a combination of markdown rich text editor and AI.
How can you tell it is a markdown editor? In fact, traces of markdown can be seen in many places. For example, PPT supports slash shortcut input components, supports to-do, code input, etc. These are all markdown styles. Gamma just packages the markdown supported syntax into controls for user convenience. See It looks more like the traditional PPT operation method.
In a sense, Gamma is a subversion of the traditional format of PPT. Why do you say that? Everyone knows that traditional PPT files are actually in a specific format and can be regarded as a zip compressed package. The following is the format of a pptx I decompressed:
Do you think there is a lot of content in it?~
Gamma uses markdown to play instead of following the standard ppt format. Doc and pdf can definitely be played in this way. Is this considered a subversion of traditional document formats?
Why use markdown to play PPT?
People who have used chatGPT can try it. You give the model a document in ppt format and ask it to match the picture for you. This is relatively difficult. In the middle, you may need to parse the ppt format to generate specific text, and then provide the agreement to the AI.
But if you give it a markdown format file to ChatGPT, it can quickly help you with pictures. The author guesses that the reason is that the markdown parsing process is much easier than the pure PPT format parsing process.
Therefore, in terms of technical implementation, Gamma has fully considered how to make full use of AI to better serve the product, and finally chose to use markdown for the technical solution. It can be seen that one of the challenges of office software in the AI era is to convert existing file formats into formats that are easier to recognize and parse with OpenAI.
Summarize
Gamma is a powerful AI tool for making PPT that supports a variety of styles and functions, including spotlights, AI operations, entering mathematical symbols and codes, highlighting key points, etc. After registration, you can get 400 points. Points will be consumed for making PPT and AI, but you can get points by upgrading your membership, inviting friends, etc. Gamma adopts the combined practice of markdown rich text editor and AI to subvert the traditional PPT format and better serve the product.
