Products·Plate I · Context & planning

Plan with the whole story. So do your agents.

Upcontext is the context layer between your team and its coding agents. It holds everything your project knows, from planning to execution. Plan and refine with it, hand work to any agent with the context it needs, and check the result against what you asked for.

Plate I

The arm that reaches. Of everything your team and its agents have done, it finds what the next task needs, and holds on to it.

600 mTwilight zone

One task, start to finish.

You refine and plan it with the assistant. An agent picks it up and works from the same context, its session becomes cards your team can read, and you verify the result. The next task starts from there.

Film II

Say what you want in a sentence. The assistant reads what the project already knows and asks only what's still open.

1,200 mMidnight zone · The whole loop

Every task leaves context. The next one starts with it.

On their own, coding agents start every task from zero. Upcontext keeps one context across the whole loop, from the first plan to the final check, so every turn leaves the next one better informed.

  1. 01Refine

    The assistant drafts the requirement and its criteria from what the project already knows, and asks about anything still open.

  2. 02Plan

    Refined work waits in the Backlog. You pull it to the Active board, in your order and your stages.

  3. 03Delegate

    Hand it to any connected agent. It gets the requirement, the criteria and the linked context.

  4. 04Execute

    The agent works from that context. Each checkpoint comes back as a card: what was done, decided, changed and left open.

  5. 05Verify

    You judge each acceptance criterion against the agent's own cards. Nothing is graded for you.

  6. 06Reuse

    Cards and final summaries feed the next requirement, for everyone on the project.

2,000 mMidnight zone · Delegation

Hand it to any agent. The context goes with it.

An agent picks up a task with what it needs to get it right: the requirement, the acceptance criteria, and the context that matters from earlier work. It builds from the whole story, not a blank prompt. Upcontext doesn't launch agents; yours pick the task up when they're ready.

3,400 mMidnight zone · The agent factory

Upcontext knows why. Botlake does the work.

Together they make an autonomous agent factory, with people in charge. You plan and refine what you want; Botlake, coming next, runs your coding agents on your own machines until a reviewed pull request is ready to release. Upcontext carries the context, so people only step in where it matters: risky commands, and what counts as done.

01 · UpcontextRefine & plan

The requirement, with its context, waits at the top of the board.

02 · BotlakeRun

Botlake picks it up and runs the agent you chose, in a clean copy of your code.

03 · UpcontextVerify

You check the result against the agent's own record.

04 · UpcontextReuse

What it learned is there for the next task.

Agents fail for lack of context, not intelligence.

Organizational context: giving AI agents a working map of the company. What to build, and what to measure.

Give your agents the whole story.

Your first project is free, and it stays free. Start with your next requirement, connect Claude Code or Codex, and from then on every step leaves a record you can plan from.
