Details
Gamma builds slides, documents, simple websites and social posts from a prompt or from material you already have. Its agent starts with an outline you can shape, then designs the pages, and you keep editing by chatting with it or by moving things around yourself.
It suits founders who need a pitch deck, a sales one-pager or a quick web page without opening a design tool. Imported PowerPoints and PDFs keep their formatting, and you can pull content in from Slack, Notion and Dropbox.
Every AI action uses credits. Plus costs $9 per seat a month billed yearly, with 1,000 credits a month, and Pro costs $18 with 4,000. Annual billing saves up to 28% compared with paying monthly.
Loom lets you record quick screen + face videos instead of scheduling meetings. Insanely useful for async teams. Started bootstrapped on maxed credit cards, grew to 10M+ users, sold to Atlassian for $975M in 2023. The free tier is still generous enough for most solo use. Business costs $18 per user per month and removes the video and length limits, and Business + AI costs $24 with AI editing; paying annually saves up to 17%.
