Welcome back, agent.

This week's mission: Testing Gamma against a winning pitch deck, and answering the question everyone keeps asking: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok?

AGENT #1: Gamma

Forgettable Presentations. Unforgettable Show

Gamma promises AI-generated presentations in seconds. I just won $20K pitching at SF Tech Week, so naturally I had to see if AI could compare against my winning slides.

1. 9/10 in Time: Quick + easy to develop 10 slides based on your ideas

2. 4/10 on Design: The slides have an nice and clean look. But I dislike the super small font, the many words and the varying slide heigh (seriously.. why is the slide so long?)

3. 8/10 on Graphics: Cool AI images that are relevant to the topic (way better than stock images, and all the images have the same theme)

4. 5/10 for Uniqueness: It feels basis. There is no storyline to the presentations. Just words formatted nicely.

How You can Exploit Gamma & Make it Useful:

• Use the image generation as a tool: AI images that match the same theme are hard to find, and stock images are boring. Instead use the Gamma images from the presentations it produces.

• Great for brainstorming: Stuck and don’t know where to start? Gamma will help you start ideating.

Bottom Line: Gamma gets you from zero to presentation quickly, but won't impress anyone. If you're okay blending in, it works. If you need to win, use Canva instead.

AGENT #2: ChatGPT? Claude? Gemini? Grok?

With so many leading Generative AI tools chatbots out there, its useful to know which one are best at what.

Bottom Line: All of these chatbots are incredibly powerful. Optimizing their strengths can give you a slight advantage. However, in the incredibly fast AI race, these companies can leapfrog one another at any time.

Mission Debrief

Human creativity has not yet been cloned by AI. If you want to win, don’t resort to AI, resort to your brain. Instead, use AI to get your ideas from the mind to prototype instantly.

A riddle for my puzzle lovers:

Suppose you have the ability to randomly generate a number in [0, 1] and then create a block of that height. Keep generating these blocks and stack them on top of each other until the height exceeds 1.

What is the average number of blocks needed?
