What they are

Gamma

Gamma is an AI presentation and content platform that turns a prompt, outline, or pasted document into a presentation, webpage, or document using a fluid card-based format rather than fixed slides. It targets marketers, educators, consultants, and small business owners who need polished visual content without a designer. Outputs publish directly as web pages or export to PowerPoint, PDF, and Google Slides. The free tier is genuinely usable for testing, but its 400 non-refilling credits mean most regular users will need a paid plan.

TubeBuddy

TubeBuddy is a browser extension and dashboard that sits directly inside YouTube Studio, adding keyword research, A/B thumbnail testing, bulk processing tools, and SEO scoring to your workflow. It is used primarily by independent YouTubers and small channel teams who want data to guide upload decisions without hiring a dedicated analyst. The integration is tight and genuinely useful, though the most valuable features are locked behind paid tiers, and the free tier has been effectively removed.
