Gamma builds design-first agents with Vercel

Gamma is revolutionizing presentation design by automating the creation process, allowing users to generate well-structured presentations with a single sentence while maintaining focus on content. Initially, Gamma's AI generated slides from prompts, but with the introduction of Gamma Agent in October 2025, the company shifted towards collaborative workflows, enabling users to iteratively refine presentations through conversational editing. This transition necessitated sophisticated conversation management, prompting the use of a lower-level API within the AI SDK for enhanced control over conversation state. Gamma's model-agnostic architecture enables rapid integration of new image models, facilitating the development of new features with minimal configuration. The company leverages Vercel's deployment tools for efficient and reliable updates, maintaining an impressive deployment rate despite a small engineering team. Gamma's serverless functions ensure fast, responsive editing and presentation loading, highlighting its commitment to seamless user experiences. As agents become more advanced, Gamma emphasizes the importance of context in enhancing agent utility, focusing on integrating brand guidelines and user history into its models to deliver tailored, impactful communication solutions.
