Playground

Sample Payloads

The playground ships with pre-built samples you can load from the dropdown:

• Competitive Analysis -- title-body, comparison-table, and market-map slides
• Product Roadmap -- kpi-grid, timeline, and waterfall slides
• Deal Tombstones -- title-body, tombstone-grid, and kpi-grid slides
• Org Overview -- org-chart and comparison-table slides

Select any sample to populate the editor, then modify it to experiment with different slide types and properties.

Limitations

• Maximum 6 slides per request.
• Maximum 32 KB payload size.
• No authentication is required, but the playground does not create durable render jobs -- results are ephemeral.
• Brand packs cannot be attached in the playground. Use the /api/v2/render endpoint with a brandPackId for brand-aware rendering.
• The quality report is truncated to 10 findings.

Moving to the API

When you are ready to integrate CmdCal into your product, create an API key from the dashboard and switch to POST /api/v2/render. The payload format is the same -- just add an Authorization: Bearer header and optionally set mode, approvalRequired, and preflightPolicy.
