Cosmic

The managed headless CMS for content teams

Visit Cosmic

Cosmic is a managed headless content management platform that provides a web dashboard for editors and a REST API for delivering content to websites and applications. It addresses the challenge of content teams waiting on engineering to publish updates, and the complexity of managing multiple sites, brands, and locales across separate systems.

The platform includes AI agents that can autonomously generate text, images, and video, build features in GitHub, and communicate via Slack, WhatsApp, or Telegram. A CLI enables generating full-stack projects, managing content, and deploying from the terminal. The REST API and TypeScript SDK support sub-100ms response times, MongoDB-style queries, semantic search, and built-in AI generation. Workflows allow chaining agents for complex automations. Integrations include Vercel, Netlify, GitHub, Stripe, Algolia, and Zapier. The dashboard offers content modeling with over 20 field types, media management with image optimization, scheduled publishing, and role-based access.

Cosmic is designed for content, marketing, and engineering teams. It offers a free plan with 300,000 AI tokens and 10,000 objects. Paid plans are seat-based and include allowances for objects, AI tokens, agents, and workflows, with yearly billing available. Enterprise plans include a 99.95% uptime SLA, SAML single sign-on, and premium support.
