Import Speaker Notes to Speaker Notes Box upon import of Text for Slides
Kristi Davis
Gamma used to allow me to have chatgpt or claude create a markdown file for slides that I could dump the file into Gamma and it would create my slides and also recognize the speaker notes and place them in the speaker notes box. That started acting finnicky so I explicitly told it not to put on the slide but put it in speaker box and that worked for a bit and then that stopped working. Please fix that so that we can add the work notes with quotes or some kind of notation to indicate that we want certain text to go in speaker notes field instead of on the slide. The AI notes that Gamma generates are not good. I don't need notes to tell me to sit up and smile. To be helpful and to save me time, I need notes about my content.

Hey Kristi Davis, thanks for the super clear writeup. Totally hear you on wanting real content notes, not generic “presenter coaching” stuff. I’ll pass this along to the team.
Quick couple questions so we can pin down the right fix:
1) What exact notation/format were you using in the markdown when it successfully mapped into the speaker notes box (example snippet would be perfect)?
2) When it “stopped working,” what happens now: do the notes show up on-slide, get dropped entirely, or land somewhere else?
If you can also share which import path you’re using (paste vs upload file) that’d help us reproduce it fast.
