Excited to introduce: Gamma 3.0 A generational leap for the world's most popular AI presentation tool. Two major changes: 1. Gamma Agent - with one prompt, you can make sweeping edits across the presentation. a. Say 'make it more visual' and it will scan each slide for data that could be visualized better. b. Upload a screenshot of rough notes you want to turn into a slide and it will synthesize the info, search the web to fill gaps, and make a table for you to match your brand or theme. 2. Gamma API Say you have a sales deck you want to reuse as a template. You could build a Zapier workflow to convert all of your meeting transcripts into personalized decks, automatically sent after every customer meeting. Bonus: We’re also launching Team & Business plans, bringing visual storytelling to organizations of all sizes, and a new Ultra plan for our power users looking to push the boundaries even further. PowerPoint has over a billion users, but the vast majority struggle to use it effectively. Why is that? Because making PPTs is still slow and tedious. We want Gamma to feel different. Our goal is to both lower the floor and raise the ceiling, so that anyone can get their ideas out there. Can’t wait to see what you make with 3.0.

Ciência Viva no Verão returns(!) and we hosted a smorgasbord of deep-sea activities and games for visiting families. We also had a live-stream of an ROV dive off the coast of Madeira, giving participants the chance to see a wreck and some underwater life in real time!
