About CmdCal

The last mile of document automation.

Every team we worked with had the same broken step: the data was ready, the report was ready, but getting it into a real deck still meant a human copying and pasting. CmdCal closes that gap.

[01] Principles

Three principles.

What drives the product is straightforward: describe the slide declaratively, make the output quality the product, and stay honest about the scope.

Declarative over imperative

Describe what goes on the slide, not where every pixel lands.

The engine handles layout. This is the same shift React brought to UI development: components instead of DOM manipulation.

  • Components instead of coordinates
  • Layout engine owns spacing
  • JSON and JSX supported
01principle

Output quality as the product

Recipients should not be able to tell the deck was automated.

Editable charts. Clean fonts. No repair dialogs. If the output is not indistinguishable from hand-built, the product has not done its job.

  • Editable Excel charts
  • OOXML validated output
  • Clean open in PowerPoint
02principle

Honest scope

Clear about what is supported and what is not.

We do text, images, tables, shapes, and charts. We do not yet support SmartArt, animations, or embedded video. If those are requirements, we point to alternatives.

  • SmartArt not yet
  • Animations not yet
  • Embedded video not yet
