What is Sanity AI?
Sanity is a composable content platform — providing a flexible headless CMS where the content model, editing interface, and AI capabilities are all customisable through code (JavaScript/TypeScript). Sanity Studio is the open-source editing interface that developers configure for each project — editors work in a custom-built CMS interface designed specifically for their content needs rather than a one-size-fits-all interface. Real-time collaboration enables multiple editors to work simultaneously on the same document with live cursor positions and conflict-free editing — addressing the collaborative editing gap in traditional CMS platforms. AI Assist is Sanity's AI capability — AI writing assistance, AI content generation from prompts, AI translation, and AI-powered content tools that developers configure for their editors. GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) is Sanity's query language for content — enabling powerful queries across structured content with filtering, projection, and joining capabilities that GraphQL and REST APIs cannot match for complex content relationships. Portable Text is Sanity's structured rich text format — enabling rich content that can be rendered differently across different digital surfaces. With customers including Cloudflare, Figma, and PUMA, Sanity validates across developer tools, design, and sportswear for developer-friendly content management.
How Sanity AI works
Sanity AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and image workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, cli, and api, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
