Astro is an AI development platform in preview that runs your project through six engineering stages (idea refinement, planning, architecture, task planning, implementation, and operations) with review gates at every stage.

Who is Astro built for?

Astro is built for technical founders, solo builders, and small teams who need to ship production-quality software without a large engineering team. It is designed for products teams plan to launch and maintain, not throwaway prototypes.

How is Astro different from other AI coding tools?

Most AI tools jump from prompt to code, skipping planning, architecture, and review. Astro runs your project through six reviewed stages before writing production code. In preview, Astro is onboarding teams that need launch-ready foundations like auth, MFA, Stripe billing, role-based access control, and i18n.

What comes built into every Astro project?

Every Astro project starts with production-ready foundations: authentication with MFA and social login, role-based access control, Stripe billing and subscriptions, internationalization (i18n), web and mobile from one codebase, and the Sierra UI design system.

Build the app that survives launch.

Astro is in preview. Turn rough ideas into clear specs, architecture, and production web + mobile apps on tested foundations built to scale.

Built on lessons from 50+ MVPs, 9 exits, and $150M+ raised.

Preview access rolls out in waves. Waitlist members get early updates and first invites.

Built for technical teams shipping products they will maintain

AI can write code. It still skips engineering.

Idea refinement is skipped.

Requirements stay fuzzy.

Architecture is guessed on the fly.

Context disappears between prompts.

The result works for demos, then breaks under real use.

A clear 6-stage path from idea refinement to production.You review every gate before work moves forward.

We are onboarding in staged waves. If Astro matches your workflow, you can get invited as new cohorts open.

In preview now. Expanding in stages.

We are rolling out lifecycle capabilities in focused phases to keep quality high.

In preview now

Requirements-to-plan workflows
Context-rich task planning
Coding workflow improvements with incremental changes

Coming next

Deeper deployment and operations automation
Stronger built-in QA and regression workflows
Expanded implementation-time security checks

Roadmap principle: stability before expansion.

Roadmap direction reflects current priorities and may evolve with preview feedback.

Built for technical teams who want speed with structure

Astro helps teams move quickly without sacrificing planning, architecture, or product quality.

Strong fit if you are

An early-stage technical founder or small product team
Building something you plan to maintain and extend
Looking for engineering rigor without hiring a full team
Tired of fragile prompt-to-code workflows

Not optimized for

Teams that only want unlimited generation without process control
Projects that do not need review gates, architecture, or long-term maintainability

Common concerns, directly answered

Straight answers for teams evaluating whether Astro fits a real production workflow.

How is this different from other AI app builders?

Astro optimizes for software quality by enforcing idea refinement, architecture, and review checkpoints before and during implementation.

Will I be locked in?

No. Astro builds on a real codebase you own and can extend.

Is this available now or just roadmap?

Astro is in preview. Foundation capabilities are built now, and additional lifecycle capabilities are rolling out in stages.
