Implement core Gamma workflow for AI presentation generation.
Use when creating presentations from prompts, documents,
or structured content with AI assistance.
Trigger with phrases like "gamma generate presentation", "gamma AI slides",
"gamma from prompt", "gamma content to slides", "gamma automation".
Generate presentations, documents, webpages, and social posts using Gamma's Generate API (POST /v1.0/generations). This skill covers the full parameter set: content, output format, text mode, text amount, themes, image options, sharing, folders, and export format.
Free text (e.g., "photorealistic", "watercolor illustration")
AI default
exportAs
string
pdf, pptx, png
None (no auto-export)
sharingOptions
object
workspaceAccess, externalAccess
Workspace defaults
folderIds
string[]
From GET /v1.0/folders

Instructions
Step 1: Basic Presentation Generation
import { createGammaClient, pollUntilDone } from "./lib/gamma";
const gamma = createGammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY! });
// Simple generation — just content and format
const { generationId } = await gamma.generate({
content: "Create a 10-card pitch deck for a sustainable energy startup",
outputFormat: "presentation",
});
const result = await pollUntilDone(gamma, generationId);
console.log(`View: ${result.gammaUrl}`);
Step 2: Full Parameter Generation
// Use all available parameters for precise control
async function generateFullControl() {
// First, discover workspace themes
const themes = await gamma.listThemes();
const corporateTheme = themes.find((t) => t.name.includes("Corporate"));
// Discover folders
const folders = await gamma.listFolders();
const reportsFolder = folders.find((f) => f.name === "Reports");
const { generationId } = await gamma.generate({
content: `
Q1 2026 Business Review
- Revenue up 23% YoY
- Customer acquisition cost reduced by 15%
- Three new product lines launched
- Team grew from 45 to 62 employees
`,
outputFormat: "presentation",
textMode: "generate", // AI expands your bullet points
textAmount: "detailed", // More text per card
themeId: corporateTheme?.id,
exportAs: "pptx", // Auto-generate PPTX download
imageOptions: {
style: "professional corporate photography",
},
sharingOptions: {
workspaceAccess: "comment", // Team can comment
externalAccess: "view", // External viewers read-only
},
folderIds: reportsFolder ? [reportsFolder.id] : [],
});
const result = await pollUntilDone(gamma, generationId);
console.log(`View: ${result.gammaUrl}`);
console.log(`Download PPTX: ${result.exportUrl}`);
console.log(`Credits used: ${result.creditsUsed}`);
}
Step 3: Text Mode Comparison
// Same content, different text modes
const content = "Benefits of remote work: flexibility, reduced commute, global talent access";
// "generate" — AI expands bullets into full paragraphs
await gamma.generate({ content, textMode: "generate", outputFormat: "presentation" });
// "condense" — AI summarizes, keeps it concise
await gamma.generate({ content, textMode: "condense", outputFormat: "presentation" });
// "preserve" — uses your text as-is, no AI rewriting
await gamma.generate({ content, textMode: "preserve", outputFormat: "presentation" });
Step 4: Document and Webpage Generation
// Long-form document
const { generationId: docId } = await gamma.generate({
content: "Comprehensive guide to implementing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions",
outputFormat: "document",
textAmount: "extensive",
exportAs: "pdf",
});
// Webpage
const { generationId: webId } = await gamma.generate({
content: "Product landing page for an AI-powered code review tool",
outputFormat: "webpage",
imageOptions: { style: "modern minimalist tech" },
});
// Social post
const { generationId: socialId } = await gamma.generate({
content: "Announcing our Series A funding round of $12M",
outputFormat: "social_post",
textAmount: "brief",
});
