Born out of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) we’ve been doing content governance decades before it was trendy.

Think of it as a content insurance policy that perfectly balances writer creativity and productivity with the benefits of governance guardrails.
Our customers enjoy massive efficiency gains without sacrificing standards through AI-powered writing assistance, automated reviews and quality gates, and analytics comparing content quality with performance.
