Key takeaways

What happens in this Gamma live workshop replay?

This is the third and final session of a “Scale with AI Summit” workshop series, hosted with Gamma’s Allison. Instead of a scripted demo, Allison asks the live audience to submit their own website links and recreates one of them inside Gamma in real time, narrating her design decisions as she goes.

Whose website did Allison recreate live?

A viewer named George submitted his site, moreprofitrocket.com, and Allison used it as the live rebuild target for the session. She worked directly from his existing layout and content, matching elements like a hero section and imagery while restructuring the page in Gamma.

How did Allison generate a matching background image in Gamma?

To recreate a hero section with a galaxy-style background, she used Gamma’s built-in AI image generation instead of hunting for a matching stock photo. She prompted for a “galaxy star” image with “blue cool tones” in landscape orientation, generated it with the Flux Ultra model, and dropped the result into the background of a card, removing the frosted overlay effect so the image showed through clearly.

What AI tip did she share for picking icons?

Allison described a workflow she uses regularly at Gamma: take a screenshot of the page content, drop it into Claude, and ask the AI to choose an icon for each bullet point, optionally specifying a preferred icon set (she uses Font Awesome). She noted this removes the time she used to spend manually searching for and picking icons.

What other Gamma editing techniques were shown?

  1. Converting a hero image from a “top” layout to a “background” layout by dragging it into position.
  2. Using the /column slash command to build a two-column layout and moving text and images into it.
  3. Using the /box slash command, specifically a note box, to contain text that was hard to read against a busy background.
  4. Turning a strong quote into a block quote by typing an angle bracket and a space, or by highlighting text and selecting “convert to block quote.”
  5. Letting Gamma auto-transform a list of bullet points into a laid-out section with matching icons.
  6. Building a grayscale wireframe template so a content teammate can drop in copy without breaking the design, with the option to duplicate and start over if something goes wrong.

Moving on to the third and final Gamma Lab workshop of the Scale with AI Summit series, Allison joined again to close out the series. She noted the team at Gamma ships very quickly and often, and that feedback from earlier sessions felt almost like an informal certification course.

Rather than presenting prepared material, Allison invited the group to submit their own website links or slides so she could recreate one live. George offered his site, moreprofitrocket.com, and Allison used it as the basis for the rest of the session, working directly in the Gamma editor while sharing her screen.

She began by identifying a hero section with a galaxy-style background image and, since she didn’t have the exact original asset, used Gamma’s AI image generation to create a replacement: prompting for a galaxy star image, blue cool tones, in landscape orientation, and generating it with the Flux Ultra model. While that generated, she restructured the card it would sit in, changing its layout from “top” to “background” so the image would fill the card properly, and removed a frosted overlay so the new image was clearly visible.

She then used the /column slash command to build a two-column layout, moving the site’s text and an image into the columns, and used note boxes (via the /box slash command) to contain text that was hard to read against the background. She explained that note boxes can include pre-installed icons when relevant, such as for alerts or warnings, but she didn’t need one in this case.

Later in the session, working through the page’s paragraph content, Gamma automatically transformed a set of bullet points into a laid-out section and picked icons for each item. Allison used this moment to share a broader AI tip: when stuck on choosing icons or visuals, take a screenshot of the content and paste it into Claude or ChatGPT, asking it to suggest an icon for each point, and specify a preferred icon set if you have one (she uses Font Awesome at Gamma). She said this has eliminated the time she used to spend manually searching for and picking icons.

She also called out a strong quote in the page copy about taking care of “people, not numbers,” and converted it into a block quote to raise its visual hierarchy, either by typing an angle bracket followed by a space or by highlighting the text and selecting “convert to block quote” from the menu. She emphasized that during early-stage design, showing too much at once can overwhelm viewers, so raising the hierarchy of a few key pieces of content matters more than filling the whole page.

Near the end, Allison gave a preview of a grayscale wireframe template she built for a member of Gamma’s own content team, intended for their marketing site. The template lets a teammate replace content and optionally swap icons without worrying about breaking the design, and if something does go wrong, they can simply duplicate the template again and start fresh.

Closing out the session, Allison thanked George for offering his site for the live demo and thanked the audience for their questions across the three-part series. The hosts encouraged viewers to try Gamma using the promo code AISummit for a free month of Gamma Pro, and to subscribe to the channel for more from the Scale with AI Summit series.
