## Summary

Kernal is a dark, developer-focused Framer template for AI infrastructure, agent platforms and developer tools.

## Description

**Kernal** is a dark, developer-focused Framer template for AI infrastructure, agent platforms and developer tools. Its signature is live ASCII art: animated character fields that ripple, glow and warp as visitors move their cursor.

Every page is built to feel like a real product. There's a terminal hero, a JSON config block, a machine dashboard and a live agent desktop, all set in Geist and Geist Mono.

**Pages**

• Home

• Features

• Pricing with FAQ

• Changelog

• Blog and blog post pages

• About with team

• Contact with a working form

• Legal pages for Privacy, Terms and Security

• 404

**Highlights**

• _ASCII Field component_ with five patterns: wave, orb, noise, rings and terrain. Cursor glow and warp effects are built in.

• _ASCII Image component_ that turns any photo into an ASCII portrait.

• Three CMS collections: Posts, Changelog and Legal.

• Logo marquee, pricing plans, FAQ accordion and animated stat counters.

• Contact form with sending, success and error states.

• Fully responsive on desktop, tablet and phone, with a mobile menu.

• Colour and text styles, so rebranding takes minutes.

• Effects pause when offscreen and respect reduced-motion settings.

• A setup guide inside the project walks you through every change.

Made for AI startups, agent platforms, cloud and infrastructure tools, APIs and developer products.
