A fully generative Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, built with AI and JavaScript sorcery. Ask it anything. It’ll make something up. Probably inaccurately.

🪐 hitchhikersgalaxy.guide

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.

What is this?

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.

Features

  • 🌌 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.

Built With

  • Next.js
  • AI (GPT-style models)
  • Curiosity and possibly a little tea

🚀 Live Site

👉 hitchhikersgalaxy.guide

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.
