Convert a Private Equity deal memo into a fully designed, board-ready Gamma presentation in minutes — no PowerPoint, no manual formatting. This page contains everything you need to replicate the system from scratch.

How It Works

Deal Memo (.md file)  →  Node.js Script  →  Gamma API  →  Polished Pitchdeck

1. Write your deal thesis as a Markdown file (Instructions below on converting file to MD file)
2. Drop it into the input_memos/ folder
3. Run one command — the script sends it to Gamma AI and polls until complete
4. You get a clickable link to a fully designed presentation

Benchmark: 50 distinct deal memos → 50 complete Gamma presentations in under 1 hour, completely hands-free.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ — nodejs.org
• Gamma API Key — requires a paid Gamma plan. Get yours at gamma.app/settings/api
• Basic terminal / command line comfort
