Turn any document into a presentation with this AI trick

Creating a presentation from scratch can be a time-consuming challenge, especially when you’re starting with a detailed document full of notes, research, or data. But what if there was an AI trick that could take any document and turn it into a perfect presentation with just a few clicks?

Why use AI for presentations

Creating presentations can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Designing images, organizing content, and ensuring a professional look often take up hours that could be better spent fine-tuning ideas and practicing delivery. This is where AI comes in.

Gamma simplifies presentation creation by using artificial intelligence to turn your ideas into polished slides in seconds, with no design skills required. Its AI-driven platform generates outlines, offers flexible presentation templates and allows for easy editing.

Gamma’s unique card-based system keeps your content organized by allowing sections to be expanded or collapsed, so images remain visually appealing and clear even with complex information. You can also embed interactive media like GIFs and videos to engage your audience.

Gamma offers flexible pricing: the free plan includes 400 AI credits and basic analytics, which I found to be more than sufficient for my use cases. You can export the presentation to PowerPoint or Google Slides or share the presentation directly.

Document preparation using ChatGPT and Google Docs

I really enjoyed the search function integrated into ChatGPT, it made research easier than ever. Now I can enter a challenge and have a polished presentation template ready in seconds, saving a lot of prep time.

Once I have a solid outline, I’ll transfer it to Google Docs for more thorough, hands-on review and final edits. While I personally like to go through the document manually, ChatGPT can also export it as a PDF if you want to skip that step and go straight to the final version.

Gamma further enhances this workflow by allowing you to directly import your Google Docs, making it easy to edit and refine your content in one place.

Creating a presentation with Gamma

Creating a presentation in Gamma is simple. Start by uploading a document or PDF and Gamma’s AI will automatically organize your content into flexible tabs. You can easily split, edit and rearrange these cards to ensure a smooth flow.

Once you’re happy with the structure, choose a theme that fits your style or brand and Gamma will apply it to your images. In no time, you’ll have a complete, professional-looking presentation that’s ready to go. I went from creating an idea in ChatGPT to a presentation created in Gamma in less than five minutes. Such time savings are invaluable.

Finish and share your presentation

Once your presentation is ready, Gamma makes it easy to share and present. If you need more customization, you can export your slides in formats compatible with PowerPoint or Google Slides.

For a smoother experience, you can also share your presentation directly through Gamma by sending a link that allows your audience to view it online without the need for additional software. This flexibility allows you to choose between in-app presentation, online sharing or further editing on other platforms, depending on what best suits your needs.

The workflow from using ChatGPT for research to creating and exporting presentations in Gamma has changed the way I approach presentation tasks. Breaking down complex topics and turning them into a slide deck used to be a time-consuming job. Now, with the help of AI, I can be more efficient and productive without sacrificing creativity.
