Gamma Built a Deck From One Sentence (Then I Fixed It)

I used Gamma for this job the way most people do — slowly, and with a lot of backtracking.

I kept breaking this task by overthinking it. Here's the order that finally worked.

Step one is the boring part people skip: write down the exact output you want before you open the tool.

Then let Gamma do the draft, but watch text density goes shallow fast.

The fix that matters: cut the first paragraph — it's almost always filler

What changed: spits out a deck from a one-line prompt Now it's a ten-minute job I don't dread.

Don't expect it to be fire-and-forget. The tool handles the volume; you handle the judgment. That split is the whole trick.
