AI assistant in MyReady
This material is for people who want to use an AI model together with the MyReady editor, not as a “magic button,” but as a tool with understandable rules, from API setup to translating entire pages into another language.
What AI gives you in the app
In MyReady, the assistant is attached to the currently open document (page or post). It sees the title, service fields, and body text, so replies can be built around what is already on screen.
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Chat in the editor panel | Rewrites, article plans, title ideas, and answers about the current text |
| Apply button | Write agreed changes into the document in one step, including front matter and body |
| Two independent system prompts | Separate style for normal chat and separate rules for Apply mode |
| Translate the document into another language | Quickly get a draft translation from the default language to the current tab language |
| Separate Pexels and DALL·E blocks | Stock image search and image generation when keys are configured |
| Voice input in chat | Prompt dictation when the browser supports speech recognition |
Without an API key in settings, requests are not sent to an external model.
Settings: key, model, API URL
Under Settings → AI, you can set:
- API key for a provider compatible with OpenAI Chat Completions.
- Model as the provider’s model identifier.
- Base API URL when you use a compatible proxy or another model host.
Until the key is set and valid, the assistant cannot get a reply from the model.
Chat in the editor and context
The chat panel receives the context of the current file: what kind of material it is, which fields are filled in, and what the main text says. So you can ask it, for example, to:
- shorten an introduction to two paragraphs;
- make the tone more neutral;
- suggest three title options;
- expand bullet points into connected prose.
The model reply is a suggestion. Publishing responsibility still stays with you.
Two prompts: chat and Apply
- The chat prompt shapes the overall style of regular replies.
- The Apply prompt adds rules specifically for the case where the model writes edits into the document.
Both prompts can be reset to built-in defaults after an app update if needed.
Apply button
In Apply mode, the model is instructed to return the result in a structured format including front matter fields and the Markdown body, so the editor can write changes predictably into the file, including for shortcode-style blocks and special inserts.
Practical rule: first work out the meaning in chat, then use Apply for a cleaner write into the file. Legal copy, pricing, and promises should always be reread manually.
Translating into other languages
If the site is multilingual with several languages in the Hugo config, the editor shows language tabs for the same material.
Translation through AI: from the language panel you can translate from the default language into the language of the current tab. This gives you a draft translation of the page or post without manually copying the text.
Recommendations:
- Treat translation as a draft: terminology, grammar, and SEO wording should still be reviewed by a native speaker or editor.
- After translation, check menus, links, and images with captions on each localized version.

Images: Pexels and DALL·E
- With a configured Pexels key, a separate Pexels block is available for stock image search and insert.
- With a configured OpenAI key, a separate DALL·E block is available for image generation, including placeholder-related flows.
Respect stock licenses and your provider’s policies for generated imagery.
Illustration slots (image placeholder)
The assistant can suggest placeholder slots for future images. This is not a file yet, but rather a task describing what illustration should appear there. When ready, upload the image in the editor and replace the slot with a normal Image block.
AI in general and responsibility
The model does not know your business, contracts, or current prices unless you provide them in the prompt and in the text. It can be wrong and sound confident while being wrong. Use AI to speed up drafts and ideas, but the final publishing decision is always yours.
Do not publish unchecked medical, legal, or financial wording, personal data, or promises about deadlines and results.
Where to start
- Fill in Settings → AI and save.
- Open any page or post and ask a narrow question about your own text.
- If the site has multiple languages, try translation into the second language tab and review the result.
- Read Quick start for the full list of editor block types that are saved into Hugo.
