Cleitext — the open-source CMS

Open source · AI built in

Describe your site.
AI builds it with blocks.

Cleitext is the free CMS where your AI assistant writes pages and posts with the block editor and the theme’s sections. Then you edit everything as in WordPress, without a line of code.

AI built in

From one sentence to a finished page

What used to take an afternoon of layout now takes a few minutes: describe it, check the draft, publish.

Connect or chat

Connect ChatGPT, Cursor or another assistant to the site in one click, or use the chat inside the admin.

Ask

“Create an About us page with three cards and a call to action.” The assistant uses the theme’s sections and patterns.

Review and publish

You get a draft with a preview. It is made of ordinary blocks: change what you like, then publish it yourself.

The assistant’s draft opens in the block editor

What it can do

Your assistant, with the site’s rules

  • Writes pages and posts with the theme’s sections
  • Translates content into the site’s other languages
  • Uploads images and sets the menus
  • Leaves drafts: it publishes only if you let it
  • Acts with your permissions, and everything stays in the revisions

Why Cleitext

Everything you need, nothing in the way

The ideas that made WordPress great, rethought for today.

AI assistants

Ask for a page or a post: AI writes it with blocks, you review it.

Block editor

Write and lay out with Gutenberg: headings, images, columns, buttons.

Plugins

Add features in one click. Each one keeps its own data, safely.

Themes

Change the look without touching the content. This site is a theme too.

Many sites, many languages

Many domains in one install, linked translations and hreflang built in.

Secure by design

2FA, passkeys, clear permissions and verified updates.

Never broken by an update

Each version is tried before it goes live, and goes back by itself if something does not start.

The setup wizard

Install

Online in five minutes

Upload the zip, open the site and follow four steps. The setup creates the database for you.

  • No files to write by hand
  • It checks the server for you
  • In English and Italian
Updates that never break the site

Updates

Updates that never break your site

No more white pages after an update, no more plugins that stop working with the new version. Each new version is tried on the side before it goes live: if something does not start, your site simply stays as it is.

  • The new version is tried before the switch
  • A backup before every update, and the old version kept
  • Compatibility checked before installing a plugin or theme
  • A plugin or theme that does not start goes back by itself
Sitemaps and Search Console

SEO

Found on Google

Sitemaps ready for Search Console, SEO and readability analysis as you write, breadcrumbs and automatic redirects.

Sites in many languages

Multilingual

Speak every language

An official plugin adds languages, translations and the switcher. This very site speaks two.

A CMS should get out of the way: you write, it publishes.
