Story

Flint sits between terse-but-bland chart specs and hand-tuned bespoke visuals, designed so agents can author short specs that still produce expressive, non-generic charts. If you're building agents that generate reports or dashboards, this is a middle path worth a look. Generic charts are a tell that a machine made it, and Flint is aimed straight at that problem.
