Hi HN,

I’m Sarafina, an engineer at Gamma, and I’m here to share something we’ve been building the Gamma API, now in public beta.

We originally built Gamma as a way to turn rough content into shareable decks and documents, a kind of design layer for non-designers. Over time, we got more automation requests to enable quickly creating new sales pitches, lesson plans, or meeting summaries.

The Generate API takes in raw input like text, meeting notes, or CRM data and returns polished content. You can generate:

Slide decks

Docs

Social carousels (LinkedIn-style)

All fully designed, brandable, and exportable to PDF or PPTX.

How it works:

You pass a POST request with the input and config (tone, format, theme, etc.)

The API responds with a Gamma link (hosted doc), or export file

Works with 60+ languages, customizable themes, and AI image support

We’d love feedback, especially from developers thinking about “visualization layer” workflows inside internal tools or automation stacks. AMA!
