Build a portfolio with ChatGPT or Claude

Say you're a photographer with a dozen shoots worth showing. On Tessryx each shoot gets its own page, and when you finish the next one, you add it from a form in your dashboard.

ChatGPT or Claude builds the site in a conversation, and it goes live at an address like yourname.tessryx.app/work once it's published.

What to ask your AI

Connect Tessryx to ChatGPT or Claude, then paste one of these, or say it your own way.

  • An illustration portfolio
    “make me a portfolio site for my illustration work. a home page with my favorite pieces, a page for each project with big images and a short write-up, and an about page with my email. i want to add new projects myself without asking you every time”
  • Case studies you write in a form
    “add a case studies section to my portfolio. each one has a cover image, the problem, what i did and how it turned out, and i want to write new ones in a form”
  • Your own domain
    Needs Pro
    “i just bought a domain for my portfolio. can you put the site on it and tell me exactly what to add in my dns settings”

What Tessryx runs for you

  • One page design for every project

    Your AI builds a single project page that reads which project to show from the address, like /work/harbor-mural. A new project gets its page as soon as you publish it.

    Pages and API routes
  • Projects in Content Studio

    Each project is a record with a title, a write-up, images and a link. Content Studio gives you a form for it, laid out from that shape.

  • The media library

    Images and video go in your media library, which holds 100 MB on Free and 5 GB on Pro. A single file can be up to 100 MB, and the image field in a project's form uploads a new picture or picks one that's already there.

  • Your own domain, on a paid plan

    You add two records at your DNS provider, one proving the domain is yours and one pointing it at Tessryx, and Tessryx issues the HTTPS certificate and keeps it renewed.

    Custom domains with automatic HTTPS
  • Version history

    Each change to a page is saved as a version, and going back means publishing an earlier one. The ten newest versions of each page are kept, plus the one that's live.

What it costs

Plan: Pro

Pro is $20 a month and covers a portfolio on your own domain. It includes 2 custom domains, enough for both www and the bare domain.

On the free plan the same site keeps its tessryx.app address, and its pages carry a small "Served by Tessryx" badge.

A small site uses about 500 credits a month of Pro's 100,000, since visits served from the cache don't count. Bandwidth for images and files isn't charged.

What it can't do yet

  • Layout changes, like a bigger cover image or a different grid, go through your AI, or you can edit the page by hand in Workflow Studio.

    No drag-and-drop page builder
  • Images are served exactly as you upload them, and iPhone HEIC photos download instead of showing. Export web-sized JPEG or WebP files first, and put long video on a video service.

    No image resizing, thumbnails or video transcoding
  • Keep client work under an NDA out of your media library. A private page can't stop someone who has an image's address from opening it.

    Every media file is public

Questions

Can I use a domain I already own?

You can keep it with whoever you bought it from. A bare domain like yourname.com needs a DNS provider that can point it at another name, as Cloudflare and Route 53 can, or you can use the www address.

Will it show up in Google?

Pages on the free tessryx.app address tell search engines to skip them, and pages on your own domain can be listed. Your AI can add a sitemap and page titles for search too.

Can people contact me through it?

A contact form on the site can email you each message, and pressing Reply answers the person who sent it. The free plan sends up to 100 emails a month.

What happens if I go back to the free plan?

Nothing is deleted when you downgrade. After the month you paid for, the site is served from your tessryx.app address alone, and upgrading again brings your own domain back.
