What is Gamma?

Gamma is doubling down on being the AI-native presentation surface — for humans and for agents.

Gamma has spent six months reinforcing two lanes in parallel. The AI lane: Nano Banana Pro / HD for image generation, smarter Claude and ChatGPT connectors, AI animations as a generative media source. The editor lane: six-column layouts, gradient cards, syntax-highlighted code blocks, adaptive-theme logos. The Generate API going GA in November opened a programmatic surface that the recent connector improvements now build on.

What is Moqups?

Moqups builds on-ramps from Figma and Balsamiq while shipping current UI kits

Moqups, an all-in-one wireframing/diagramming tool, is actively shipping. Recent work adds a Balsamiq import path, a May feature batch headlined by a Figma-to-Moqups plugin, and fresh iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits. Its self-positioning is the lightweight, broad alternative to specialized tools.

Gamma is doubling down on being the AI-native presentation surface — for humans and for agents.

◆ Current state

Gamma has spent six months reinforcing two lanes in parallel. The AI lane: Nano Banana Pro / HD for image generation, smarter Claude and ChatGPT connectors, AI animations as a generative media source. The editor lane: six-column layouts, gradient cards, syntax-highlighted code blocks, adaptive-theme logos. The Generate API going GA in November opened a programmatic surface that the recent connector improvements now build on.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is splitting into two related surfaces — a human-facing editor that keeps gaining visual polish, and an AI/agent-facing layer where presentations get generated and modified through chat connectors or API calls. The May connector update plus the earlier API GA point at a deliberate move to be the default deck-generation backend for agentic workflows, not just a destination tool that users open in a browser.

◆ Prediction

Expect tighter agent loops next: deck editing as a callable tool inside Claude and ChatGPT (not just one-shot generation), and a paid programmatic tier targeted at agent-builders shipping deck-export features.

Moqups builds on-ramps from Figma and Balsamiq while shipping current UI kits

◆ Current state

Moqups, an all-in-one wireframing/diagramming tool, is actively shipping. Recent work adds a Balsamiq import path, a May feature batch headlined by a Figma-to-Moqups plugin, and fresh iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits. Its self-positioning is the lightweight, broad alternative to specialized tools.

◆ Where it's heading

The throughline is migration and interoperability: make it cheap to bring work in from the incumbents (Figma, Balsamiq) and keep design-system assets current so teams have no reason to leave for high-fidelity work. Earlier Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform set up the kits that now depend on them.

◆ Prediction

Expect more import bridges and continued UI-kit freshness, plus deeper prototyping/interaction features building on the constraints groundwork.
