How to query headless content with your AI

Connect your AI to CrafterCMS once. After that, your agent can pull any content item or run GraphQL queries to get the exact data it needs.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I pull CrafterCMS content into my AI chat?

Your agent uses GraphQL to fetch specific data structures or pulls individual content pieces by their ID. This gives your AI the context it needs to answer questions or write new copy based on your existing CMS data.

Data outcomes

What you get from your CMS.

The AI uses the connection to pull information from your CMS and turn it into useful outputs.

DATA

Direct content retrieval

The agent uses specific IDs to grab content items. You get the exact text or metadata you asked for.

QUERY

Complex data pulls

Run GraphQL queries to grab specific sets of data. This lets you pull nested content or filtered lists in one go.

CONTENT

Contextual drafting

The AI reads your existing pages to draft new content that matches your current style and information.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI can't publish or change your CMS. You still handle the final approval and publishing in CrafterCMS.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your natural language into specific technical requests to the CMS.

  1. Identify the data need

    Your agent looks at your question to decide if it needs a single item or a broader set of data.

    graphql

  2. Execute the query

    The agent sends a GraphQL request to the CMS to fetch the specific fields you're asking about.

    graphql

  3. Fetch specific items

    If you ask for a specific page or component, the agent grabs that exact object directly.

    get_item

  4. Process the results

    The agent takes the raw JSON data from the CMS and turns it into a readable format for your chat.

    graphqlget_item
