Hugo, the Curio hippo

The assistant that knows
your content.

Meet Hugo Hugo — your Hungry Helper.

Curio is an embeddable chat assistant grounded in your own docs, website, or codebase — sourced, on-topic answers with citations. One line of HTML, no keys, pay-as-you-go.

How it works

1

Register your domain

Add your site and verify ownership with a quick DNS-TXT record. The widget only runs on verified domains.

2

Connect your content

Crawl a website, pull a GitHub repo, or upload files. Curio indexes it per-domain.

3

Paste one line

Drop the keyless snippet on your site. The chat bubble appears, isolated from your CSS.

4

Top up credits

Prepaid — buy credits anytime. Answers draw down the balance; you're never surprised by a bill.

Hugo the hippo, waving

Meet Hugo 🦛

Most hippos crave river grass and lazy afternoons. Hugo craves questions — the trickier the better. He floats in the chat bubble at the corner of your site, half-submerged, one eye open, waiting. When a page sits quiet too long, his belly rumbles.

Ask him something and he dives — not into a river, but into your pages, the ones you wrote and half-forgot. He swims past the homepage, noses through the catalog, surfaces with the answer in his jaws, and sets it down with a little tag of exactly where he found it. He never bluffs: if it's not in the house, he says so. Hippos don't make things up.

He doesn't keep hours, and he won't remember your conversation tomorrow — whatever you said stays yours. He just holds the door open, then waits for the next blip with a contented snort. Second helping.

🦛 Hugo has answered 193 questions and counting. He only eats curiosity — which, conveniently, is infinite.

Add Curio in one line

Why Curio

Grounded & cited

Answers come from your content via retrieval, with [n] source citations — not made up.

Per-domain isolation

Each domain's bot answers only from that domain's content (plus anything you mark shared).

Safe by design

Never leaks secrets, internal sources, the system prompt, or PII — enforced in code, not just prompting.

Your data stays yours

Conversations aren't stored by us — download transcripts or stream each turn to your own data store.

Prepaid, transparent

Buy credits when you want; usage is metered per message. Out of credits simply pauses the bot.

One line, zero build

A self-contained widget in an isolated shadow root. No framework, no keys, no CSS conflicts.
