Build a new-hire onboarding deck in Gamma from your handbook
Turn scattered handbook sections and pinned docs into one structured onboarding deck a new hire can actually get through in one sitting.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Goal: A new support hire can handle a standard ticket alone by the end of their first week. Audience: Brand-new support hires with no prior experience at this company, first day on the job. Content: [Paste: company handbook intro, list of tools with access instructions, team org chart with roles, and the internal support-ticket process doc.] Tone: Friendly and plain-spoken — like a helpful colleague explaining it over coffee, not HR boilerplate. Format: A presentation structured as: Welcome & what we do, Your first-week checklist, Tools & access, Team & who to ask what, Culture & norms, Where to go if you’re stuck. One topic per card. Render the first-week checklist as literal checkboxes, not a paragraph.

Why this works
Onboarding material usually fails because it was written once, for everyone, in HR voice — the same handbook paragraph a new hire has to translate into "what do I actually do Monday morning." Structuring the Format around a literal first-week checklist forces Gamma to convert prose policy into actionable steps rather than reproducing the handbook’s own paragraph structure. Naming the Goal as "functional, not informed" changes what Gamma keeps versus trims from the handbook content — it prioritises access steps and who-to-ask information over the historical or philosophical sections a handbook often opens with, which matter far less on day one.
What you get back
A deck opening with a one-card company overview, a checklist card with checkbox items ("Get Slack access," "Meet your onboarding buddy," "Complete tools setup"), a tools/access card with direct links, a simple org-chart-style team card, a culture/norms card, and a closing "who to ask" card mapped by topic.
