Build your site by talking to an assistant
Connect Claude or Codex to Tessolo and ask it to create pages, rewrite copy and publish — using your own AI subscription.
You can connect an AI assistant you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — to your Tessolo workspace, and then just tell it what you want:
Add a page for the September workshop: hero, agenda, and a sign-up form asking for name, email and company.
The assistant creates the page, fills in the copy, and shows you what it did — including a screenshot and a link you can open to see the page yourself. Nothing goes live until you (or it, if you allowed that) publish.
This is not the same as the AI inside Tessolo
Two different things, and it's worth being clear about which is which:
| Inside Tessolo | Your own assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you type | The AI panel in the editor | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor |
| Whose AI budget | Ours — it counts against your monthly allowance | Yours — your Claude or ChatGPT subscription |
| What it's good at | Quick edits while you're already in the editor | Long jobs, many pages at once, working from notes you already have |
Neither replaces the other. If you're already in the editor, the built-in AI panel is faster. If you live in an assistant all day, connecting it means you never have to switch.
What it can do
Create a site from a template, add pages and sections, rewrite copy across many pages at once, change the colours, fill a content collection, run the pre-publish checks, publish, and roll back. Full list — including what it deliberately can't touch — in What it can and can't do.
It can read these docs too
Everything on this site is listed at tessolo.com/llms.txt — a plain index of every help
page. If the assistant isn't sure how something works, point it there and it will read the
right page instead of guessing.
Which assistants work
Claude Code, Codex and Cursor all connect. So does Claude on the web and the Claude desktop app. Setup is one address plus one browser approval — see Connect an assistant.
Writing better prompts
Prompt patterns that get useful pages and blocks out of Tessolo's AI, prompts that waste your monthly allowance, and cheap habits that help.
Connect an assistant
Point your assistant at one address and approve it in the browser. Per-client setup for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
