The home screen asks one thing, מה תרצו להכין? (“What would you like to make?”), and has one blue key. Bama answers with an outline: numbered titles and points, written while you watch. An argument is easier to fix in a list than across designed slides, so I put the editing there. Every item changes where it stands, moves by dragging or from the keyboard, and the whole structure can be swapped for another before anything is designed.

A deck takes a while to make, so the screen says what’s going on in plain words. A dark bar counts the slides designed so far and keeps stop in reach. A card lists the steps that are done and the one under way. When it’s finished, one green notice replaces both: הטיוטה מוכנה לבדיקה (“the draft is ready to review”).

A text box steps down one fixed ladder of sizes, from 100 to 65 percent, and stops at a floor set for its role. Whatever still doesn’t fit goes on a list instead of off the slide. Before a PowerPoint or PDF is exported, the check names each slide whose text runs over, says what it can’t see, and offers to fix it first. The engine’s rule fits on one line: “Overflow is reported, never clipped.”

The interface runs on a few written rules: “One key per decision area.” “Blue is a fill, never text.” “Red is only failure and deletion.” “What floats is dark.” An error always has an edge and an icon as well as its red, so it never depends on color alone. An accessibility dialog adds larger text, high contrast, text spacing, stopped animations and a strong focus ring for anyone who needs them. Every piece on these boards is cut from a working screen.

במה is Hebrew for stage, so the mark is one: a dark slide with a beam of light landing on a blue ellipse. That blue, #126aef, is the blue of every key in the app, and one family, Open Sans, sets both Hebrew and Latin. Bami, a character whose head is a slide, has eighteen drawings, one for each situation the site describes. I made each one from my own prompts.

The app stays calm on one cream ground. The site turns the volume up: flat fields of sun, leaf, grape and sky, Bami in every hero, and the whole product in one headline, כותבים נושא. מקבלים מצגת בעברית. (“Write a topic. Get a presentation in Hebrew.”) The blue key and the typeface are the same in both, so they read as one product.

Ten more pages each speak to one reader or one job, from teachers and students to sales teams and investor decks, and answer the same questions in their words.
