tailgate – Build generative-AI features without a backend

Hey HN! A couple of weeks ago I realized that many static websites could benefit from generative-AI features, but site owners don't want the hassle of setting up a backend or attempting to build a custom application. I went ahead and built tailgate, a dead-simple way to add generative-AI features to a website without worrying about backend infra. Simply import the library, add decorators to some elements, and instantiate it. Content will hydrate on page-load. I think there are a lot of site owners who can use tailgate to help inform, engage, and retain site visitors in new ways. I'd love to hear about your use-case! (Caveat: for now, the backend is self-hosted, but I'm happy to set up a managed version given enough interest.)
