surface.loworbit.ai

a web-based compositor for building live, data-connected presentations from react components — then presenting or exporting them.

─ legend ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

intent   operator chat or voice input describing the slide
data     connected data sources (optional)
lib      react component library + layout primitives
[op]     operator gate — review, edit, advance, scrap

[1]  parse            interpret what the operator wants the current slide to show
[2]  compose          assemble react components + data bindings + layout; operator can redirect mid-sentence
[3]  render           slide reshapes in real time as intent refines; staged generation prevents flashing
[4]  present          present mode or export (pdf, html, deck format)
[5]  live or exported presentation data-connected slides, composited from react — presentable or portable

─ notes ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

. operator can redirect mid-sentence; the surface reshapes without flashing.
. slides are live react components, not static images — data bindings stay
  live if the source is.
. exports snapshot the current render; the live version stays editable.
