Avocado Studio started as a chat box that rewrote HTML. Seven months and five pivots later, it's an assistant that lives inside your site, reads your Search Console and your Drive, and edits through your own components. Then Webflow and Fimo launched agents for websites within six days of each other. The story so far, and where we stand.
A weekend experiment porting my site-editor architecture to marketing emails — drag-and-drop blocks, an AI design assistant, react.email under the hood. Shared Zod schemas let the canvas and the planner stay in lockstep.
Puck is the open-source visual drag-and-drop page builder for React — 12k+ GitHub stars, a clean plugin API, and the one the community has rallied around. Avocado Studio plugs into it natively: visual editing on the canvas, AI chat in the sidebar, both producing the same operations through the same orchestrator. No extra integration work for the site.
R&D experiment — drag-and-drop email builder with an AI design assistant. Composable react.email components, swappable brand themes, schema-bound operations shared between the canvas and the planner. Not a product; a sketch to test how far the Avocado Studio architecture travels.
Open-source AI-native site editor — natural language editing with live preview, type-safe operations, and multi-model AI support.
Configurable pipeline for finding, deduplicating, and mapping places via Google Places API.
