Hugo Chat
The HugoBlox-specialised AI agent. Generate complete sites or extend existing ones — output is portable Markdown, not React you can't maintain.
Hugo Chat is an AI agent trained on the current HugoBlox kit. You describe what you want — a personal site for an ML researcher, a startup landing page, a portfolio for a designer — and it generates the Markdown that ships into your repo.
When to reach for it
- Cold-starting and want to see "what would my site look like?" before committing
- Existing user adding a section, page, or content type without writing YAML by hand
- Stuck on a Hugo error and want a HugoBlox-aware second opinion
- Repurposing content — summarise a paper into a blog post, expand a draft, reshape an outline
Why HugoBlox-specific
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude) is months stale on HugoBlox. It invents block names, writes raw HTML instead of using HugoBlox blocks, and doesn't know your content schema. Hugo Chat is trained on the current kit and ships valid Markdown that works with the blocks you actually have installed.
Compared to
| Alternative | Difference |
|---|---|
| Lovable / v0 / Bolt | They generate React you can't maintain. Hugo Chat generates Markdown in your git repo. |
| ChatGPT / Claude | They're stale and invent block names. Hugo Chat is up-to-date and schema-aware. |
| Cursor / Cline / Continue | They edit code generically. Hugo Chat is specialised for Hugo + HugoBlox content. Use both — Cursor for code, Hugo Chat for content. |
| Quarto | Quarto is great for paper-driven publishing. Hugo Chat covers everything else: landing pages, blogs, team pages, project showcases. |
| Webflow / Framer / Wix AI | Their output is trapped in their platform. Hugo Chat generates Markdown in a git repo you fully own. |
