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.
Otter.ai transcribes your meetings in real-time. Founded by Sam Liang (ex-Google location services lead). Hit $100M ARR without a single sales rep: grew purely through word of mouth from journalists who loved the free tier. Great for anyone who needs meeting notes without manual typing.
