Gamma 5 launches with an agent for deck creation and a freeform editing mode

Gamma has launched Gamma 5, which it calls its biggest update and a rebuild of its engine.

According to Gamma's posts, an agent now plans a full deck from user context, connectors, and visual references, handling generation through final output, and users can drag any slide element anywhere in a new freeform editing mode after clicking "convert to freeform." Gamma also says the release adds style control from described looks or visual inspiration, and import and export for PowerPoint, PDF, and company brand, plus connections to Slack, Notion, Salesforce, Claude, and ChatGPT.

Gamma's announcements describe these features as making "the most visually stunning decks," but the posts offer no independent evidence of that outcome.
