Most websites become outdated within a few years, but modernizing them is still painfully slow. Businesses often spend weeks and thousands of dollars rebuilding sites from scratch, even when most of the content already exists.
My co-founder and I kept seeing the same thing: great businesses stuck with outdated websites because redesigning and migrating everything felt like starting over.
So we built Astrio.
Astrio is an AI agent that modernizes existing websites. You can import a site from a URL, GitHub repo, WordPress, or other legacy stacks, and Astrio upgrades it to a modern design and tech stack automatically.
From there you can generate a brand identity, tweak the site using chat or a visual editor, invite your team to collaborate, and publish instantly.
The goal is simple: Instead of rebuilding websites from scratch, just modernize them in one shot.
@miguel_angel_perez_alvarez1 Hey Miguel. I apologize for the frustration. We had a technical issue and now everything is running again as expected. Could you give it a try again and let me know back?
The problems causing HTTP 401 error have now been resolved, and everything should be working properly. We really appreciate you taking the time to flag these during launch.
Please feel free to try it again, and let me know if you run into anything else.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m the CTO and co-founder of Astrio.
After years of building websites, I kept running into the same pattern. Many businesses had great products and content, but their websites were stuck with outdated designs and tech stacks. Updating them usually meant rebuilding everything from scratch, which is slow, expensive, and often unnecessary.
From an engineering perspective, that always felt wrong. Most of the information already exists: the pages, the content, the structure. The problem is that it's locked inside an old stack.
So we started asking: what if software could actually understand an existing website and upgrade it automatically?
That’s what led us to build Astrio.
Astrio is an AI agent that modernizes existing websites. You can import a site from a URL, GitHub repo, WordPress, or other legacy stacks, and Astrio transforms it into a modern, editable website in minutes.
From there you can:
• Generate a brand identity
• Edit your site with chat or a visual editor
• Collaborate with your team
• Publish instantly
Our goal is simple: instead of rebuilding websites from scratch, just modernize them.
Excited to share Astrio with the Product Hunt community. I’ll be around in the comments and happy to answer any technical questions!

How are developers using Astrio today? Mostly for experiments or already in production projects?
@artem_kosilov Great question! Most of our users today are SMB owners and agencies who already have production websites. They import their existing sites into Astrio, modernize the design and tech stack while the original site stays live, and then switch the domain once the new version is ready.
We’re also seeing developers experiment with it to upgrade legacy projects (like portfolio sites or older stacks such as Vanilla JS → TypeScript), but many of those projects end up going live after edits and review.
The "Import from URL" feature is superb, but I noticed a trust gap on the landing page. You’re selling a tool that modernizes old tech. Okay. But your "Now" examples still feel like generic templates. To an engineering lead, modernization is about code performance and SEO structure.
I’ve spotted one specific legacy roadblock in the hero section of homepage that’s likely scaring off Enterprise-tier users.
@taimur_haider1 Thanks for checking it out and for the thoughtful feedback!
You’re absolutely right that for many engineering teams, modernization is about more than visuals, things like performance, SEO structure, and maintainable code matter a lot. Astrio actually upgrades both the design and the underlying stack, but we can definitely communicate that better.
And yes, we’d love to hear your suggestion. Please feel free to share!

The import from anywhere part is what's interesting here that's usually where these tools fall apart with messy legacy codebases. What's the most complex stack you've seen it successfully modernize so far?
@thyme1 Great question! We’ve seen Astrio successfully modernize fairly messy stacks. For example, older PHP/WordPress sites with heavy jQuerythat was built in 2010, multi-page vanilla HTML/CSS/JS sites, and personal projects built on GitHub a long time ago with lots of outdated dependencies.
Those tend to be the most common real-world cases we see from SMBs and agencies. Astrio imports the structure and content, then regenerates it into a modern design and cleaner stack (Typically TypeScript and Tailwind), which users can further refine/tweak before publishing.

Astrio is available in beta: astrio.app
We’ll be around in the comments all day. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
@nolanlwin I am frustrated because I am only get a black page (yes black page) in every intent am asking Astrio. Good luck next iteration.

@miguel_angel_perez_alvarez1 @nolanlwin doesn't seem to work any better... stuck in a loop - homepage type in a description and then it says:
00:03:08 [HTTP] 401 — error
Stream error: HTTP 401
trying again later same thing or equivalent...
@miguel_angel_perez_alvarez1 @nolanlwin @exlemor Thank you both for reporting these issues and for your patience earlier.
