Discover Gamma Agent: How to Design, Build, and Collaborate Smarter with AI

Full video transcript

Gamma, the powerhouse of a tool that helps bring your ideas to life. Excited to dig into Gamma today and share Gamma 3.0. We’ve got Gamma Agent, the focus of what we’re going to be covering today. It’s such a powerful tool and we use Gamma. Our community uses Gamma and there’s so many unique ways that we’re going to continue to find to use it. For anybody that’s watching this today, if this is your very first time getting exposed to Gamma, welcome. Excited to have the platform and the team with Amanda to share what we can do and build with this tool and invite you to check it out, which Gamma actually offers free trials. If you go to genaiu.com/gamma, you can get started with a free pro trial. Gamma has been a staple in my workflow for years now. So I hope that we can shine a light on some of the ways that you can leverage Gamma in your own workflow. With all of that said, Amanda, welcome to the final Scale with AI Summit of 2025. It’s been a ride this year. How are you doing today?

Hey, it’s so good to be here and yeah, I’m really excited to share Gamma Agent with you all, but there’s a lot of more exciting things coming up too. So I’ll give you all some sneak peeks as I like to do in the Scale with AI Summit. But yeah, I’m doing really good and I’m excited to be here. See so many familiar faces. Shout out Donna with your gamma swag. I love it.

Love it. Yeah, we got some gambassadors in the house. We got Grant, was here the last few summits with us. Yeah, good to see some familiar faces and like we’re all learning how to use these tools and adapt and evolve with them. The speed at which Gamma is launching and shipping new features and receiving community feedback — I really can’t recommend them as a tool and a platform, a company that really truly supports the creators and the people using the tool day-to-day. If you’ve seen any of their stuff on LinkedIn, on social, they’ve been doing some really cool marketing events out in San Francisco. And an agent came out recently, which I know there’s so much that people can use and unlock when it comes to their own workflows inside of Gamma. So you mentioned some new stuff, you mentioned agent that we’re going to be demoing today. You want to just take the stage, Amanda, kick things off?

Yeah, let me kick us off. I’ll plug really quickly that a lot of what makes Gamma so great are our ambassadors and our power users — I genuinely think you all know the product better than I do, and a lot of what I pieced together when putting this Gamma together was directly based on feedback from all of you. I have a demo prepared, and I’m going to go through a couple of new features, but I also want to open the floor for people that used it in a really awesome way. So thank you to everyone; you all really do help make the product even better. Okay, so with that said, I am going to be focusing on Gamma Agent, which we’re calling your AI design partner. The purpose behind what we do at Gamma is that we build powerful AI tools to help you share your thoughts in presentations, sites, social posts, and really anything else you can think of. At the end of the day, we are building Gamma because we believe in you and the creations you want to share.

This is the team on the call. I’m Amanda, I run our power user community — you all are gambassadors, which is what we call our power users, and it’s been such a valuable role to hear how you all are using Gamma. We are not the experts here; we use Gamma every day, but it’s really our power users who help shape the product. We also have Max on the call today, one of our technical support engineers and our in-house API expert, here to answer questions in the chat. We’ll do a Q&A at the end, but feel free to throw questions in the chat anytime.

Today’s focus is Agent — basically the way to help you talk to your Gamma. Like most AI tools you’ve probably used, there’s something like a co-pilot or a chat where you tell it what you want and it does it for you. That’s what we’re doing with Gamma Agent. You can use Agent to search the web, drop in links or screenshots and have it visualize them for you, ask it how a design looks and get suggestions on how to make it better, and have it give you feedback. It’s basically a way to make editing and perfecting your Gamma even faster.

Before the demo, a fun example: Amanda opened Agent on an image of the team’s mascot, “Mr. Peepers,” a three-eyed cat, and asked it to add a tiny party hat and a party horn — demonstrating that Agent can edit and animate images directly, not just generate or search text content.

For the main demo, Amanda used a real, current use case: pitching a co-hosted workshop with the Zapier team to Gamma’s leadership. She generated fake meeting notes and dropped them into Gamma to auto-generate a deck, completely unedited. From there, she made all further edits using Agent rather than the manual editor. She first asked Agent directly what it’s good at, and it listed: creating new cards, editing existing content, changing visuals, generating custom images, adding smart layouts and smart diagrams, and making broad revisions when told “make this better.” Asked what it can’t do, Agent listed: changing specific fonts, embedding external content (she’d tried adding a Spotify playlist), exporting/sharing, and generating multiple layouts at once. A recent feature request — a table of contents with working links to cards — currently only adds the table of contents without functioning links; that’s an active work item.

On credits: Amanda asked Agent directly what actions get charged, and it explained that asking for suggestions or feedback (not making direct edits) does not use credits — credits apply to actual changes Agent makes, like editing an image, adding a card, or researching the web. There’s a help center article with more detail.

Working through the deck, Amanda first asked Agent to turn side-placed accent images into card backgrounds, which it did — showing an original-vs-modified comparison and letting her approve, thumbs-up, or leave feedback on the suggestion. Next, she used Agent’s research capability: she asked it to search the web for other successful workshops Zapier had run with startups, and it added a card citing examples like Zap Connect, local meetups, and a partner webinar series with Amplify and Lovable. She then asked it to cite the source for one of the claims, and Agent asked whether to be more conservative or add a source note — she chose to add a note, which it did.

For layout, she noted Command+E selects a card, then used Agent’s quick-edit panel to request a different smart layout (“image placement… I want to see if this can look more interesting”), which it applied. Asked whether Agent could pull from a brand board (colors and fonts), Amanda and Max clarified that most brand-level control is still handled at the theme level rather than through Agent directly, though you can build a custom theme with your own colors, image styles, and logo, and Agent can pull card background colors from an existing theme — in the live demo this didn’t work as cleanly as expected and is still being refined.

Other Agent actions demonstrated: animating an accent image (worked, though Amanda noted uploaded/accent images tend to behave less reliably than Gamma-generated images); splitting an overloaded card into two separate cards (investment info and a timeline); adding new detail fields like “dependencies” to a card via a pasted prompt; and asking Agent to “review the deck and make suggestions on how to improve it,” which returned specific per-card feedback (add a call-to-action to the title card, add a summary card, replace a mismatched image) that she could selectively accept.

She also tested Agent on things it can’t do: embedding a YouTube video (it explained this is a known limitation, but the manual “/YouTube” slash command works instead). As a fun aside, Agent has an Easter egg — asking it “what’s your name” reveals it goes by “Agent” but the team internally nicknames it “Buddy.”

Practical tip: if a long Agent conversation starts producing off-track or error-prone suggestions, clear the conversation and start fresh rather than trying to keep correcting it in place — Agent doesn’t yet have the long-memory handling of tools like ChatGPT or Claude.

After the Agent segment, Amanda covered two newer beta features: Templates and Remix. Templates let you save a deck you generate frequently (e.g., a recurring workshop) as a reusable base. Remix lets you prompt-edit a template to produce a new deck instead of manually reworking it — in the demo, Amanda remixed a general “Gamma Workshop” template into a sales-focused version by prompting it to retitle the deck, reframe a visual-communication section for a sales audience, and drop a smart-diagrams card that wasn’t relevant. The remix picked up the new framing correctly, including tailored language, while leaving unrelated content untouched; Amanda noted you can then run Agent over the remixed deck for final touch-ups before presenting.

A Q&A segment covered Gamma Studio, a higher-tier feature for generating image-heavy, largely text-free decks (used more for social or highly visual storytelling). Cards in Studio can only be edited through Agent, not by typing directly, since the content is baked into generated images. Amanda demoed this live with a Halloween-themed deck: Agent successfully removed unwanted glow text from a generated image but also added extra visual elements she hadn’t asked for, and could not change the font, since it’s part of the image rather than editable text. She and the panel agreed edits in Studio feel less predictable than in the standard editor, and that giving Agent more specific, pre-written copy for each slide up front — rather than trying to fix wording after the fact — produces better results, since AI-generated text within images is more reliable when it’s told exactly what to say from the start.

Closing questions covered whether Studio can embed music (not currently possible) and whether a Gamma deck can be imported into or embedded on a WordPress site — embedding via iframe is possible (as it is on Webflow), though direct importing of a Gamma site into another platform was not confirmed and the Gamma team said they’d follow up. The session closed with a reminder that free Pro trials are available at genaiu.com/gamma.
