Gamma is a web-based AI presentation tool that generates slides, documents, and websites from text prompts. It's a standalone platform—not a PowerPoint add-in—with its own editor and format.

How is Deckary different from Gamma?

Deckary works inside PowerPoint, while Gamma is a separate web app. With Deckary, your slides stay in native .pptx format—no exports, no broken formatting, no learning a new tool.

Can I export Gamma slides to PowerPoint?

Yes, but exports often have formatting issues—broken layouts, missing fonts, and slides that don't match standard 16:9 dimensions. Deckary creates slides directly in PowerPoint, so there's nothing to export.
