    Stop Wasting Time in PowerPoint: Use Gamma + ChatGPT Instead

    Tired of spending hours fixing fonts, nudging boxes, and rebuilding slides in PowerPoint? This episode shows a faster, AI-first way to make professional presentations using Gamma, and why pairing it with ChatGPT can cut your deck time from days to minutes. Perfect for consultants, marketers, founders, teachers, and leaders who make slides every week and want quality without the grind. In this video, I demo three practical ways to use Gamma: One-shot prompt – go from blank page to a clear, structured deck in minutes. From an existing doc – turn a long/boring PDF or report into a tight presentation. Hybrid workflow – my preferred ChatGPT → Gamma copy-paste approach (outline in ChatGPT, build/design in Gamma). You’ll see how to: Generate solid first-draft slides with strong structure (titles, bullets, speaker notes). Refine quickly with layouts, sections, images, and on-brand themes. Convert long documents (e.g., policy papers, reports) into clear, audience-friendly visuals. Decide when to export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF for hand-off and collaboration. Avoid common pitfalls (over-generating, messy layouts, generic visuals) with simple prompt tweaks. Why this matters: Speed: Ship decks in hours, not days. Clarity: Start from a structured outline instead of a blank slide. Quality: Consistent, on-brand looks without pixel-pushing. Flexibility: Export to your team’s preferred tool when needed. Chapters 00:00 Finally – a new approach to building slide presentations 00:31 Exploring Gamma: A New Tool for Presentations 01:00 Live demo of Gamma.app 02:35 Demo 1 – create a presentation from a single prompt (one-shot) 08:37 Demo 2 – Create a presentation from an existing document 14:21 Demo 3 – My preferred workflow – the hybrid approach using ChatGPT and Gamma in tandem 17:48 How to apply this to your situation 19:08 Sanity check and conclusion Who this is for: Consultants & marketers: client decks, proposals, campaign plans.Executives & team leads: strategy updates, board packs, all-hands. Teachers & trainers: lesson plans, training modules, workshops. Founders & creators: investor decks, product overviews, webinars. Tools used: Gamma (AI-first presentations, documents, and webpages) ChatGPT (for fast outlining, rewriting, and idea development) Transparency: I use AI tools in this demo. I recommend adding a small slide note such as “Slides prepared with AI assistance (Gamma/ChatGPT)” for good practice. If this saves you time, please like, subscribe, and share with a colleague who’s still wrestling PowerPoint.  Got questions, or want my prompt template? Drop a comment and I’ll help.
