Once the skill has written your deck, here's how you turn that copy into actual slides. ## Step 1: Choose Paste in text In Gamma, start a new project with **Create with AI**, then pick **Paste in text**. ![Gamma's Create with AI screen showing four options: Generate, Paste in text, Create from template, and Import file or URL.](https://assets.sayla.co/hub-assets/e72debd7-948f-42a8-bd0c-89a1a2dfed21/gamma-1-create-with-ai.jpg) _Pick Paste in text._ ## Step 2: Paste your deck Choose your format, then paste in the deck the skill wrote for you. Under what to do with the content, pick **Generate from notes or an outline**, then continue to the prompt editor. That's the option I use. I like to keep the visuals in my decks light, and this setting gives Gamma room to lay things out without crowding each slide. ![Gamma's Paste in text screen with a format row, a box to paste your deck, and the option Generate from notes or an outline selected.](https://assets.sayla.co/hub-assets/e72debd7-948f-42a8-bd0c-89a1a2dfed21/gamma-2-paste-in-text.jpg) _Paste your formatted deck and choose Generate from notes or an outline._ ## Step 3: Set Freeform, then create At the top of the prompt editor, choose **Freeform** (not Card-by-card). Freeform takes your full deck and slices it into cards for you. Card-by-card is the manual route, where you add content one card at a time, which you only want if you're building each slide by hand. From there, your visual notes come through exactly as you pasted them, and Gamma does its best to create those visuals the way you described. Pick how much text you want on each slide and how many cards, then hit **Generate**. ![Gamma's prompt editor showing the pasted deck with its visual annotations intact, controls for amount of text, and a stepper set to 10 cards next to the Generate button.](https://assets.sayla.co/hub-assets/e72debd7-948f-42a8-bd0c-89a1a2dfed21/gamma-3-prompt-editor.jpg) _Your visual notes ride along, and you choose the amount of text and number of cards before creating._ **Stay on Freeform.** It takes your full pasted deck and slices it into cards for you. Card-by-card is the manual route, where you add each card yourself. Either way, your bracketed visual notes ride along as direction for each slide.
