A webinar lives for an hour; an ebook lives forever. You ran a great session, and now that content deserves a second life as a polished, downloadable resource. With Gamma, you can upload your webinar deck or transcript, connect where your recording notes live, or paste the key points, and let the AI agent turn a live session into a designed ebook. Give Gamma the source, and it handles the move from slides and speech to readable pages.
The challenge is expansion. A webinar leans on a live presenter to fill in the gaps between slides; an ebook has to carry the full idea in writing, with structure and depth the audience can read at their own pace. Gamma's agent takes your deck or transcript, asks who the ebook is for, and reshapes a spoken session into connected, readable chapters.
The two formats share content but demand very different delivery:
A webinar is live and presenter-led, built for a single moment in time
An ebook is self-paced and self-contained, built to be read anytime
The webinar relies on the speaker; the ebook relies on the writing
The webinar lives in slides and speech; the ebook lives as a designed, readable document
Turning one into the other means filling in what the presenter said out loud, each slide becomes a section, each talking point becomes prose.
Upload your webinar deck as a PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides file and it imports slide-for-slide, or drop in the transcript. Prefer to pull from your notes? Connect Notion, Google Docs, or a meeting-transcript tool like Fireflies or Fathom and Gamma reads the content directly, no copy-paste. Gamma takes in the full session before it writes anything.
Gamma's agent asks your audience and your goal, then turns each slide and talking point into written sections: context, explanation, examples, and takeaways. The spoken session becomes connected prose that reads on its own, no presenter required.
Clean typography, clear chapter structure, and comfortable reading layout with room for pull quotes and visuals. Your ebook looks like a considered resource, not a transcript dumped onto a page.
Pull together your deck, your recording transcript, and any notes. The more of the live context you include, the richer the ebook will be.
Go to gamma.app and start from the prompt box. Upload your webinar deck, drop in the transcript, connect your notes, or paste the key points, then ask for what you need, for example, "Turn this webinar into a readable ebook for marketing professionals."
A strong ebook flow from a webinar usually looks like this:
Title and introduction
The problem or question the session answered
Chapter one: first key idea
Chapter two: second key idea
Chapter three: third key idea
Practical application
Key takeaways
About and call to action
Reorder so the ebook opens with a hook that earns the read.
Gamma drafts a complete, formatted ebook from your webinar in about sixty seconds.
This is where you make it read like a written piece. Smooth the transitions between sections and expand anywhere the presenter would have added color live. Gamma handles the layout, but when a pull quote or image needs to sit just so, move it yourself in freeform editing, or tell AI editing which element to change and how. Add visuals from the webinar to anchor each chapter.
Share as an interactive web link, or export to PDF for a downloadable, printable resource with your layout intact. Export to Google Slides or PowerPoint if you want a presentable companion version.
Gamma vs. writing it in Google Docs
Speed: Writing an ebook from a transcript by hand takes hours; Gamma drafts in minutes
Design: Docs are built for text, not designed layout; Gamma produces a polished ebook
Source: In Docs you work from a raw transcript; Gamma reshapes slides and transcript together
The honest take: Google Docs is great for collaborative writing and tracked edits, and many teams refine the final copy there. Gamma gets you from webinar to a designed first draft far faster, and you can export to Docs to keep polishing.
Gamma vs. Canva
Templates: Canva offers a large library; Gamma starts from your webinar content and designs around it
Decisions: Canva asks you to make many layout choices; Gamma's agent makes smart ones for you
Speed: Canva takes time to lay out a multi-page document; Gamma drafts in minutes
The honest take: Canva is excellent when you want to design every page by hand. Gamma is faster when you want a polished, readable ebook built straight from a session you already delivered.
Open with the payoff. Tell readers what they'll learn before they commit to the read.
Expand what the presenter implied. Spoken shorthand needs to become full written thought.
Break it into clear chapters. Structure makes a longer read feel easy.
Add visuals from the session. Charts and screenshots carry over well and anchor each chapter.
Close with a next step. Point readers to a demo, a trial, or the next resource.
Yes. Drop in the transcript and Gamma will structure it into chapters. Adding the deck and any notes gives the agent more to work with and a richer result.
As long as the content earns. A focused webinar might become a tight 10-15 page ebook; a dense session can run longer. Let the ideas set the length, not a page target.
Yes. Build the ebook, then ask the agent to repurpose it into a presentation, or export to PowerPoint or Google Slides for a presentable companion.
Yes. Apply your colors, fonts, and logo, or import a branded file and save it as a template so the ebook matches your other resources. On-brand design makes a free resource feel more valuable.
Use a web link for an interactive experience with analytics, and a PDF for a downloadable, printable resource. Both keep your layout intact.
Your webinar already holds the content, it's just trapped in a one-hour moment. Upload the deck or transcript to Gamma, let the agent expand it into readable chapters, and refine from there. You'll turn a single live session into an evergreen resource without writing it from scratch.
