Let AI help you make a PPT, write a Word report, or tidy up an Excel spreadsheet—everyone’s trying it. But anyone who’s actually done it knows the crash rate is high.

The problem isn’t that the model isn’t smart enough. It’s that the AI can’t see what it just made. It writes a pile of OOXML XML, but it doesn’t know whether a title overflowed, whether two shapes overlap, or whether a chart rendered crooked. It can read the DOM, but it can’t tell layout problems apart.

That’s “running blind”—the AI makes a PPT with its eyes closed, hands it to you, and you open it to find the title flying off the page, a table sitting on top of an image, and colors that look like a palette got knocked over.

Today this project fixes that at the root.
