Connect your AI to Kontent.ai once. After that, you can manage translations and go live through your chat interface.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I update and publish translations using my AI?

Yes. You can instruct your AI to write new content into specific language versions of a content item and then push those changes to a live status. This lets you handle localization directly in your chat client.

Where every change lands.

The outcomes of your requests

Depending on what you ask, your AI will either prepare the data or push it to the site.

UPDATED

New language versions

The AI writes the translated text into the specific language field you requested. The content stays as a draft until you're ready.

LIVE

Published variants

The AI pushes the specific language version you just worked on to a live state. Your site updates immediately.

REVIEW

Human oversight

You decide when a translation is good enough. The AI handles the heavy lifting of the data entry, but you keep the final say.

SYNCED

Content parity

Your different language versions stay organized within the same content item. This keeps your headless CMS structure intact.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the Kontent.ai API.

  1. Write the translation

    The AI takes your translated text and maps it to the correct language field for the specific content item.

  2. Make it live

    Once the content is ready, the AI moves the specific language version from a draft state to a published state.

  3. Verify the update

    The AI checks that the field was updated correctly before confirming the task is done.
