Upshot

A seven-page Astro theme for AI agent startups in pilot phase. The hero runs a live workflow diagram that redraws itself for four kinds of job, a scroll story walks one run from first signal to the log, and pricing, security and a book-a-pilot form are already written. Built for technical founders who need a credible site this week.

Upshot is a seven-page site for an AI agent startup, built for founders who would rather ship the product than design the website. The hero shows the agent working: a live diagram of agents, systems, people and decisions that redraws itself for each job, a fan-out, a handoff, a retry loop and an edit loop, all drawn from one JSON file. Below it, a scroll story takes a single run from first signal to approval to the run log, so visitors see exactly what your product does and where a person signs off.

Upshot is an AI startup website template built with Astro, for founders who want a credible site without designing one. Buy it once and use it on your own product or on client projects, as many as you like.

What you edit

  • site.json: company name, tagline, email, nav, footer
  • workflows.json: the nodes, steps and labels the diagrams are drawn from
  • pricing.json: plans, the comparison table and the calculator's base price and per-run rate
  • faq.json, team.json, security.json, changelog.json: the rest of the content, one file each

What is in it

  • Astro 7, zero frameworks, one global stylesheet, no runtime dependencies beyond the vendored Lenis smooth scroll
  • A live, data-driven workflow diagram with a portrait layout on phones, plus a scroll-driven story that steps through one run
  • An interactive sign-off rules panel and a usage-based pricing calculator
  • Four colour packs (Paper, Carbon, Petrol, Ultraviolet) with a one-click switcher, and a choice of Source Serif or Geist for headings
  • A generated halftone field in each pack's colours, and a product screen you can edit and re-render with one command
  • Self-hosted fonts, no third-party requests
  • Fully responsive, keyboard accessible, respects prefers-reduced-motion
  • Builds to static files: deploy free on Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages
