Our vision

AI innovation. Made in Germany.

World-class AI, with the solidity German software is known for.

As early as 2023, we were the first German content tool to introduce an integrated AI assistant, long before AI became standard in marketing. Today we are taking the next step: AI agents that work largely autonomously, with humans as the strategic supervisor.

Our ambition: the leading AI Content Operations Platform for the DACH region. With the speed of a tech pioneer and the foundation of German engineering culture. Data protection and data sovereignty are not obstacles to innovation, but its prerequisite.

That is our promise to the German mid-market: AI innovation you can rely on.

A word from our founder

Why we founded contentbird, and why we run it ourselves

Nicolai Kuban, Co-Founder and CEO of contentbird

When we co-founded contentbird in 2012, content marketing was still a sideshow in Germany. Today it is business-critical, and AI has changed everything.

Over the past few years, I have spoken with hundreds of marketing teams. Many struggle with the same problem: they want to use AI meaningfully but cannot find a structured way to do it. The result is generic output that dilutes the brand.

AI without structure is not a solution, it is a new problem.

This is exactly where we come in. contentbird was the first German content tool with an integrated AI assistant, not for PR reasons, but because we understood early on what these teams really need.

Today we are building the AI Content Operations Platform that combines German solidity with the speed of a tech pioneer. Owner-managed, from Berlin, with German hosting and German law. And with the ambition to live up to the DNA of the mid-market: reliable, long-term, technologically ahead.

If you would like to talk about AI Content Operations, you will find me on LinkedIn.

Owner-managed

Owner-managed: what that means for you

In the B2B software market, owner management is the exception. contentbird is still owned by its founders today. What that means for you:

01

Long-term decisions

We build features that last for years, not for the next investor update.

02

Customer feedback, not investor targets

What our customers need goes on the roadmap. No corporate HQ, no quarterly pressure.

03

Stability without exit risk

No sudden change of ownership, no discontinued products. We have been here for over a decade, and we will stay.

Our technology partners

The best technologies on the market, structured for your brand

We do not build our own language models, we orchestrate them. contentbird connects the leading LLMs and marketing technologies into one consistent workflow. Through partnerships and technology integrations with Google, OpenAI, DeepL and Meta, you gain access to the latest models, with the governance features for brand-compliant use.
