The reality
Gamma was built for decks, not classrooms
Teachers searching for a Gamma alternative are not just looking for prettier slides. They need content that is already built for teaching.
Slides without curriculum alignment
Gamma produces polished presentations, but nothing maps to your standards, year group, or learning objectives. You still have to do that work yourself.
No worksheets or activities included
A lesson is more than slides. Gamma does not generate differentiated worksheets, starters, or exit tickets — so you are still building half your lesson elsewhere.
You start from scratch every time
Without subject, grade, or curriculum context, every Gamma lesson is a blank prompt. Teachers spend more time writing inputs than they save on formatting.
Built for teaching, not just presenting
Here are the Chalkie tools that make it a more complete alternative to Gamma for teachers who need classroom-ready content, not just visually appealing slides.
Lesson Planning
Complete lesson slides in under 30 seconds
Chalkie generates a fully structured, visual lesson slideshow complete with slides, key vocabulary, learning objectives, and activities. Unlike Gamma, every lesson is curriculum-aligned to your country, year group, and subject from the start.
- Slides, vocab, and activities in 30 seconds
- Curriculum-aligned across 23 countries and regions
- Exports to Google Slides, PowerPoint, or PDF
Slide Editing
Edit any slide in plain English
After Chalkie generates your lesson, you can refine any slide using plain English instructions without leaving the tool. Type things like 'simplify this slide', 'add a slide on X', or 'differentiate for lower ability' and Chalkie applies the changes instantly.
- Natural language editing on any slide
- No formatting or design work required
- Works on every generated lesson
Export and Ownership
Own your slides in any format

- PDF export for print or sharing
- 30 plus built-in presentation themes

Worksheets and activities alongside every lesson
Where Gamma stops at slides, Chalkie keeps going. Generate unique, curriculum-aligned worksheets with mixed question types alongside any lesson. Scaffold and Stretch versions are included in one go for mixed-ability classes.

- Scaffold and Stretch differentiation in one click
