Lumen Trust Notes

Gamma

Gamma runs entirely on cloud infrastructure with no local processing option. The free tier is genuinely generous with AI credits and no hard feature wall, reflecting strong access parity across users. Recommended for teams and individuals creating presentations, proposals, or reports — avoid embedding confidential financial or client data in shared Gamma decks.

Canva Magic Studio

Design assets and prompts are processed in Canva's cloud with no self-hosted Magic Studio, keeping Privacy Low. Free access plus Education/Nonprofit programs support High parity, and the mission to democratise design earns High purpose. Generative model training details are not fully open (Provenance Low). Great for everyday marketing creatives; check Canva's AI content and commercial-use terms for client work.
