Gamma turns a prompt or an existing PowerPoint or PDF into a good looking presentation, document, simple website or social post. It is the best place for most people to start, because even the free plan exports to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides. The free credits never refill, and many users report billing problems, so start free and watch renewal dates if you upgrade.
