This is super interesting! Thanks for sharing. I’m wondering myself how to put up a site with usual product stuff, blog and manual.

The blog is running already on hugo on full llm automation but I had though it would not work for documentation (this is for non-techies so want something more product-manual -like and less SDK-docs flavour) or landing page that well.

So this is you company’s site and it’s on Hugo? https://formationxyz.com/

Yes, we just launched FORMATION XYZ a few days ago. Thanks! Fully running on hugo and I used the search library as well because it seems to work really well.

Interesting facts:

- the domain was registered a few weeks ago

- most of the heavy lifting was done by our non technical CEO by prompting codex; not by me.

- he got a bit carried away with some features and he was able to pull off a little robot (powered by vector search and embeddings), audio transcriptions, and a few other nice features. He has a product/ux background and a good eye for detail but no coding skills whatsoever.

- we use a lot of skills and guard rails to guide content generation, SEO optimization, etc. Our SEO agent does competitive analysis on a schedule, figures out optimal SEO phrases and maintains a list of approved SEO language.

- our content generation skills guard against typical AI slop smells, weaves in SEO language where possible, and uses a sub agent to act as harsh critic on content. AI slop only happens if you let it happen. You can see on the querylight documentation site that I have a bit more of that there. I need to improve the skills for that one.

If you want to get your feet wet with this, I would just recommend doing it and start with simple changes. Use Claude Code, Codex, or whatever you prefer.

One of the first successes I had with another website was "add the logo for company x to the logo wall". It went off and figured out the website, got the logo svg, figured out where to put it and hooked it up in the right place. For me that was a oh "it can do that now" kind of moment. A lot of content changes are like that.

Could you use an open source CMS for non technical folks, i.e. Decap?

		Probably; if it has an API you can probably get coding tools to use it. But the point of using agentic coding tools is that they are really good at working with code and files. And it tends to be a lot faster and easier. And you can build tests and browser tests around that as well. In my view, a CMS is intended for people doing stuff. If you transition that stuff to AI Agents, why keep the CMS around? And if AI does all/most of the coding, it's not such a big leap for non technical people to get their hands dirty anymore.
