Sidekick — a BlinkPages add-on

Your site, updated live on the call.

Sidekick is a meeting partner. Invite it to a call and it listens like any other attendee — then drafts the change you're all talking about, so the preview is open before you hang up.

What it actually is

Sidekick is a second, quieter attendee on your call. It doesn't run the meeting, and it never interrupts. It listens the way a good chief of staff listens — tracking what's being decided, and noticing when a decision is really a change to your website.

When it hears one, it writes it down as an action item and shows it to the room. When somebody tells it to go, it makes the change: a real edit to your site, on a Draft, with a preview link you can open while the call is still running. Everyone looks at the actual page instead of imagining it. Then it goes back to listening.

  • What it is A silent AI attendee that joins your meeting like any other participant.
  • What it does Keeps a live summary of the call, and drafts real site changes while you talk.
  • How you steer it Say it out loud, message it in the meeting chat, or click in its panel.
  • What it can't do Publish. Every change lands as a Draft you approve, like everything else here.

It isn't a notetaker

Plenty of tools already sit in meetings and write down what happened. That part of the problem is solved, and Sidekick would be a poor reason to replace the one you have.

Here's the part that isn't solved. Notes are a list of things somebody now has to go do. “Update the homepage headline” gets copied into a doc, then into a ticket, then into a sprint, and reaches the actual website three weeks later — if it survives the trip at all. The decision was made in eleven seconds. The delivery takes a month.

Sidekick closes that gap while everyone is still in the room. What you leave the meeting holding isn't a note about a change. It's the change, drafted, waiting for a yes.

How a change happens on a call

Start to finish, with nothing skipped. Every step that changes what the public sees is still a step a person takes.

  1. 1

    You invite it in

    Sidekick joins the call the way any other attendee does — it shows up in the participant list, and everyone can see it's there. Then it goes quiet. It has no microphone and never speaks.

  2. 2

    It follows the conversation

    In a panel beside the call it keeps a running summary: the topics you've covered, what you decided, and the action items coming out of them. You can watch it fill in as you talk.

  3. 3

    It spots the site change

    When the conversation turns into “the pricing page should say X,” that becomes an action item of its own — written down, shown to the room, and marked ready to run.

  4. 4

    You tell it to go

    Out loud (“Sidekick, go ahead”), in the meeting chat, or with a click in the panel. All three work the same way, and nothing starts without one of them.

  5. 5

    It drafts while you keep talking

    Sidekick makes the real change to your site — an actual edit to the Astro project behind it, on its own Draft. You carry on with the agenda while it works.

  6. 6

    The preview arrives before you hang up

    A link to the changed page, live and clickable. Open it on the call, react to it as a group, ask for another pass. Approving it is still a separate, deliberate step — on the call or after it.

Nothing goes live on its own

Sidekick drafts. You publish.

Every change it makes arrives as a Draft with a preview link — the same approval step as every other change on BlinkPages. It has no way to publish, on a call or off one.

What you're left with when the call ends

Three things instead of one. The meeting stops being the place decisions go to wait.

  • The summary Topics, decisions, and who owns what — written as the meeting happened rather than reconstructed from a transcript afterwards.
  • The drafts A preview link for every change you asked for, each one a real Draft of your site sitting a single approval away from Live.
  • The record The action items that weren't about the website filed where your team already tracks work, so those don't quietly evaporate either.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Most people don't need Sidekick, and we'd rather say so here than have you find out later. The ordinary way to run a BlinkPages site is to describe what you want to Claude, look at the preview, and publish — from your desk, in your own time. That's the product, and for most sites it's plenty.

Sidekick is for the people whose website decisions get made out loud, with other people in the room:

  • Agencies on client calls

    The client asks for the change and sees it before the call ends. The “we'll get that over to you next week” round trip — and the follow-up email, and the revision of the follow-up email — stops existing.

  • Founders and marketers running site reviews

    The weekly “the homepage should really say…” conversation ends with the homepage saying it, instead of with a note that the homepage should say it.

  • Teams with a long queue

    Any team where the distance between deciding and shipping is measured in weeks, and most of that distance turns out to be handoffs rather than work.

The honest version

If your site changes come out of conversations, Sidekick collapses the gap between the conversation and the site. If they don't — if you're a person who edits their own site when the thought arrives — skip it. Nothing else about BlinkPages changes either way.

Where it's up to

Sidekick is in early access

We run it on our own calls every week, and we're bringing customers on a few at a time. Something that sits in your meetings has to earn that seat, and the only way to find out whether it has is to use it on real ones and keep the group small enough to fix what we find.

If you want it in yours, say so on a demo. We'll be straight with you about whether your meetings are the right shape for it — some are, plenty aren't.

The questions people actually ask

Mostly about the microphone, and rightly so.

  • Does Sidekick talk during my meeting?

    No. It has no voice and no way to interrupt. It appears in the participant list, listens, and writes into its own panel beside the call. If you want to interact with it, you start that — by saying its name, messaging it in the meeting chat, or clicking in the panel.

  • Is it recording my meetings?

    It works from the same transcript your call already produces — the one behind the recording and captions you're used to. Sidekick reads that as the meeting runs so it can follow along; it isn't a second, separate recording of your team. And because it shows up as a visible attendee, nobody is in the room without knowing it. If your organization has rules about who may join a call, treat Sidekick as an attendee and apply them.

  • Can it publish something to my live site?

    No — and this is a hard limit, not a setting. Everything Sidekick makes lands as a Draft with a preview link, exactly like every other change on BlinkPages. Publishing is an action you take. A meeting full of people talking over each other is precisely the situation you want that separation for.

  • What if it drafts the wrong thing?

    You send it back, in a sentence, out loud. A wrong Draft costs you the time it took to look at it — nothing is live, nothing is broken, and there's no ticket to close. Being able to react to a real page instead of imagining one is most of the value.

  • Which video platforms does it work with?

    It joins the common ones the same way a person does. Rather than list platforms we'd then have to keep true, tell us where you run your calls and we'll confirm it on a demo.

  • Do I need Sidekick to use BlinkPages?

    Not at all. The ordinary way to run a BlinkPages site is to describe what you want to Claude, look at the preview, and publish — on your own time, at your desk. Sidekick is an add-on for teams whose site changes get decided in meetings. Everything else about your site works the same with or without it.

  • What does it cost?

    It isn't part of the standard plan. Sidekick is in early access and we're settling its pricing alongside the people using it, so the honest answer is that we'll talk about it on a demo rather than post a number we'd have to change. See pricing for what the platform itself costs.
