Gamma blog: AI decks & slide craft

The blog is Gamma's long-tail engine. Canonical topical guides live under /learn hubs. Blog posts go narrower: stage, industry, persona, objection, or migration scenario, the searches that do not deserve their own money page but still need a serious answer with a reusable framework.

Each post should teach a decision, include a worked example with specifics, and link up to its parent hub or spoke plus across to a product page. We do not publish thin keyword pages. If a post cannot change what you put on a slide this week, it should not ship.

How to use the blog

Arrive with a constraint: “Series A checklist,” “churn in a QBR,” “ChatGPT outline into a real deck.” Skim the answer block, steal the framework, then draft in Gamma with your facts. Do not collect posts the way people collect templates, finish one scenario end-to-end, including a forced edit.

When a post compares tools or migrations, cross-check claims against /method. Undated “best AI” language without a job and a rubric is noise. Prefer posts that name who should pick the other tool.

What not to expect

This index is not a news feed. It is not affiliate roundups without a method. It is not a second homepage. If you need the product path, open the AI presentation maker. If you need craft systems, open learn hubs. If you need shapes, open examples.

Frameworks, worked rules, and cuts

The blog is Gamma's long-tail engine for scenario-specific decisions that do not deserve their own money page. Canonical craft systems live under learn hubs. Posts go narrower on stage, industry, persona, objection, or migration. If a post cannot change what you put on a slide this week, it should not ship. Prefer posts that name a constraint, a reusable framework, and a worked example you can recreate the same day.

Original framework for reading: Constraint, Framework, Draft. Arrive with a constraint such as Series A checklist, churn in a QBR, or ChatGPT outline into a real deck. Steal the framework. Draft in Gamma with your facts. Do not collect posts the way people collect templates. Finish one scenario end-to-end including a forced edit before you open a second long-tail.

Featured scenarios cover stage-specific pitch checklists, discovery-led SaaS sales shapes, churn presentation in QBRs, ChatGPT-to-Gamma handoffs, meeting notes to client decks, and rewrite passes for generic AI slides. Each featured blurb states the decision the post helps you make before you open the full article so you can skip reads that do not match this week's room.

Clusters you will see include pitch and fundraising, sales, product and exec, AI and migrations, education and workflows, and design fixes. When a post compares tools or migrations, cross-check claims against the public method page. Undated best-AI language without a job and a rubric is noise; dated job-based guidance is the bar.

Worked use: an AE facing a security objection opens the enterprise security objection post, steals the validation-step pattern, pastes buyer language into Gamma, and sends a leave-behind the same day. A founder preparing Series A opens the checklist post, then the seed versus Series A spoke, then drafts with real cohort evidence rather than recycled seed prose.

Failure modes include treating the blog as a news feed, publishing thin keyword pages, affiliate roundups without method, and using long-tails as a second homepage. Money pages remain product entry. Hubs remain craft systems. Examples remain annotated shapes. Climb from post to hub when you need the full system rather than a scenario patch.

Not for you if you need breaking news, if you want undated pricing tables for procurement, or if you refuse to draft after reading. Concrete next step: pick one featured scenario that matches a meeting within seven days, open the post, then generate an outline with your facts before you open a second article.

Quality bar matches spokes: one original framework or checklist, one worked example with specifics, failure modes, honest not-for-you guidance, and a concrete Gamma next step. Related links should climb into the parent hub and across to a product page without keyword soup. Measure a post by whether time-to-usable-deck for that scenario dropped.

Migration and tool-limit posts should name when to stay put. A Copilot or Beautiful.ai critique that never says who should keep the other seat is a sales page in disguise. Prefer posts that date the constraint and point at method when claims get comparative.

Education and workflow long-tails should still end in a draft action: notes cleaned into claims, thesis outline with timing, or Notion export trimmed before generate. If the post only lists tips without a recreate path, treat it as incomplete and open the matching learn hub instead.
