Hi all 👋,

I’m one of the maintainers of [Gurubase](https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase), an open-source AI assistant for technical documentation. We’ve built a Guru (AI Assistant) for the Hugo Docs to provide fast, accurate answers directly from the official docs and codebase.

You can try it here:

[https://gurubase.io/g/hugo](https://gurubase.io/g/hugo)

**How is this different from ChatGPT?**

• Gurubase **automatically reindexes** the docs, so answers stay up to date  
• It also indexes the **GitHub repository** , so if something isn’t in the docs, it can still answer based on code  
• Fully **open-source** and available as a **self-hosted** or cloud solution

**You can deploy it as:**  
• An “Ask AI” widget on your site  
• A Slack or Discord bot  
• A GitHub Issues bot

Gurubase is already used by **130+ open-source projects** and growing.

Looking forward to your feedback, especially from Hugo contributors and folks who care about docs discoverability and developer support.

Thanks.

Hi, I tried asking some questions – it looks great:

> **[How to use Hugo with Tailwind without npm? | Gurubase](https://gurubase.io/g/hugo/use-hugo-tailwind-without-npm)**
>
> Learn how to integrate Hugo with Tailwind CSS without using npm.

> **[How to continuously import posts from WordPress to Hugo using JSON? | Gurubase](https://gurubase.io/g/hugo/continuous-import-posts-wordpress-hugo-json)**
>
> Learn how to set up a continuous import of posts from WordPress to Hugo using JSON format.

It’s like Stack Overflow that won’t get outdated 😃 Good luck with the project!
