Don't Panic. This is an AI-powered, entirely generative website version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Every page is born when you ask for it — just like the original Guide (minus the sarcasm filter). It's not a static site. It’s not a wiki. It’s the Guide, reimagined by a mildly confused neural network with access to far too much cosmic trivia.
A living, breathing, constantly mutating Guide to everything in the galaxy (and several things outside it).
Built for web. Powered by AI. Fueled by improbability.
You search — it generates.
Want to know about Vogon poetry? It has opinions.
Curious about towels? It's got you covered.
- 🌌 Fully generative content — no static pages, ever
- 🤖 Uses AI to emulate the tone and chaos of the original Guide
- 🧠 React + Next.js frontend with API-powered entries
- 🔍 Search to create entries — or just type something weird
- 🫠 Occasionally coherent. Frequently absurd.
- Next.js
- AI (GPT-style models)
- Curiosity and possibly a little tea
Try searching for:
- Vogon Poetry
- 42
- Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
- The best way to survive a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Each search becomes a new, permanent Guide entry. Reality is handcrafted on demand.

Fork it, break it, add your own absurdities. PRs welcome from humans, hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings, and polite androids.
MIT — because restricting galactic knowledge is just rude.
