Use case

Make the idea something people can play with.

Publish an idea as an interactive map, model or flow that people can change themselves.

Who it’s for: Founders, strategists, product leads and anyone pitching an idea internally

artifact.guru/parcelo/port-avery-hubsPrivateFull screen
Port Avery delivery hubs. Parcelo’s coverage model, drawn as a city map.A sample. The company and its numbers are made up.
  1. Press + to open the East Bridge hub.
  2. Click story step 3 to see the evening rush.
  3. Hover a district for its households and delivery times.

Why play beats prose

Tell people “six hubs get us to 20-minute delivery” and they have to take your word for it. A map where they add the hubs and switch to evening rush lets them check it for themselves.

The Parcelo map above opens with four story steps and then hands the controls to the reader. Its recommendation updates with whatever they try, so everyone starts the meeting from the same picture.

How to make one

  1. Write the point first

    Start with the one sentence the reader should end up believing. Everything on the page should serve it.

  2. Pick two or three controls

    Choose the levers that change the answer most. Any more and it turns into a toy; any fewer and it’s just a chart.

  3. Ask your agent to build it

    Give it the numbers and the model in plain words, and ask for a short story mode that sets the controls step by step.

  4. Share it before the meeting

    Keep it Private to your team workspace, or invite the people you’re pitching by email.

Keep it current

When the numbers change, the agent updates the model and the link stays the same. Anyone who bookmarked it sees the latest, and the Versions list shows how the argument evolved.

Limits

  • The page calculates in the browser; it can’t query your live systems unless an API allows it from any website.
  • Charts and maps are drawn by the page itself. Libraries loaded from a public CDN work too.

Prompt

Make your own

Have these ready, then paste the prompt into your agent:

  • The one point you want to make
  • The numbers behind it
  • Two or three levers
  • The assumptions
Prompt
Turn this idea into one self-contained, interactive HTML page. The point
the reader should reach: [your sentence].

Draw it as [a map / a model with a chart / a flow], with these levers: [list].
Add a short story mode of 3 or 4 steps that sets the levers and explains each
step, then hands the controls to the reader. Keep a recommendation box that
updates with the current settings, and list the assumptions on the page.

Publish it privately to artifact.guru and give me the link.

Common questions

Can I use charting libraries?

Yes. Pages can load libraries from public CDNs, or draw charts themselves with SVG, as the Parcelo map above does.

Who can see it?

Only your workspace until you share it. Then choose Email invites, a secret code or a public link.
