Introducing Kontent.ai: A Game-Changer in CMS

Kontent.ai, known before as Kentico Kontent, isn’t just any headless CMS – it’s a full-on content platform changing the game in managing content across digital platforms. It’s made to be the backbone for planning, creating, and delivering content smoothly across multiple channels.

The Evolution of CMS with AI Integration

The CMS industry is going through big changes with AI tech like ChatGPT. Kontent.ai, a leading headless CMS, recently added native AI capabilities, a huge step forward in content management. This integration brings real-time control over content creation and management, boosting efficiency and offering top-notch content governance.

Exploring Kontent.ai: The Interface and the Experience

Kicking off with Kontent.ai, the Project setting view is where it all begins. It’s a treasure trove of info about your project. Right off the bat, you can tinker with the project name setting. But that’s just the start. Over on the left, there’s a navigation panel that’s your gateway to different settings elements. From here, you can jump to all sorts of settings – like users, roles, workflows, collections, and a bunch more.

Once you’ve got your project settings sorted, it’s time to head over to the Content model tab in Kontent.ai’s main navigation. This area's chockers with all the content types you’ve created, which are the building blocks for your content. If you’re looking to add new ones, there’s an 'Add new' button sitting pretty at the top right corner of the screen.

Now, when you’ve got your structure all set up, it’s over to the Content and assets tab in the main navigation. Based on your content models, this is where you start creating items. Each item comes with its own name, workflow, content type, collection, and the date it was last modified. To help keep things shipshape, you can filter your results by Collection – which is like a grouping of content types – or filter by content type, workflow, and more. It's all about making it easy to organize and find your way through the data you have.
