Strengths and weaknesses
Gamma
- Polished first drafts from a short prompt
- Exports to PowerPoint and Google Slides on every plan
- Imports your existing PDFs and PowerPoint files
- Free credits are a one-time grant that never refreshes
- Free plan caps you at 10 slides per prompt
- Individual plans train on your content unless you opt out
Gamma turns a prompt, an outline or a pasted document into a polished presentation, doc, website or social post in moments. Gamma 5, released in October 2026, lets you talk the idea through with its agent before it builds anything, then fine-tune on a freeform canvas. Exports to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides work even on the free plan. Free credits never refresh, though, and free decks carry Gamma branding.

Fireflies.ai
- Works in Zoom, Meet, Teams and in person
- Says it doesn't train AI on your meetings
- Talk voice typing is free and unlimited
- Free plan has limited transcription and 400 minutes of storage
- Video recording needs the Business plan
- A bot shows up in calls unless you use the desktop app
Fireflies sends a notetaker into your Zoom, Google Meet or Teams calls. Or its desktop app records without a bot. You get a searchable transcript, a summary and action items. AskFred answers questions across all your meetings. Paid plans add stats and connect to other apps. Talk, its voice typing tool, is free and unlimited on every plan. The free plan's transcription and storage are tight, so regular users will end up paying.
