AI Assistant

Get publish-ready content faster with built-in AI

ElmapiCMS helps your team write, translate, and improve content inside the same workflow you already use to ship websites and apps.

Ship content faster

Generate first drafts, improve existing copy, and polish content in the same editor so your team can publish sooner.

Scale multilingual content

Translate entire entries in one click while preserving structure and links, so localized content stays aligned across projects.

Keep full control of AI

Bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini. You choose providers, models, and costs.

Go from idea to API-ready content

From draft to translation to final copy, move faster from concept to clean content delivered through your existing API workflows.

Flexibility

Still reading the comments because you're unsure? Don't overthink it and buy this. For just $59 truly the value is insane. I've been a customer for over a year and the new V3 is fast and rock-solid. At this price it's a steal; I'd price it at $100 at least.

Great code and great functionality! This is a true gem if you are looking for a headless cms. Also, it comes with a simple, but very usable user rights management system to setup content creator access per project. With the new webhook functionality, this is a "must-buy"!

Well done. While this could use some more features and improvement on the UI, it's hands down better than any other solution attempting to do the same. Simple and fast workflow, a great tool for building simple web apps and prototypes fast.
