About Sanity

Overview Sanity is a content operating system that powers content applications and AI workflows at scale. It replaces traditional CMS approaches with a fully configurable Studio and structured content backend called the Content Lake. Built for developers, content editors, and product teams, Sanity lets teams model content around their business needs rather than forcing their workflows into rigid templates. It supports web, mobile, and agentic applications from a single platform. Key Benefits Structured content and a fully configurable Studio let you model your entire content platform around your business. Content Agent with agent actions, functions, and content agents automates manual work before and after hitting publish. Real-time collaboration with multiplayer presence, comments, and task management built into the Studio. Content Releases let you schedule and manage publishing across multiple documents and locales. Sanity stores revisions for every document, providing full version history and rollback capabilities. Live previews and visual editing tools give editors real-time feedback on content changes. How It Works You define your content schema in code using Sanity's type system, then the Studio generates a fully configurable editing interface from that schema. Content is stored in the real-time Content Lake and served via APIs (GROQ or GraphQL) to any frontend or AI agent. You orchestrate publishing with Content Releases, automate workflows with Agent Actions and Functions, and deliver content through the Live CDN. Use Cases E-commerce and retail teams use Sanity to manage product catalogs, localized content, and customer-facing experiences across multiple storefronts. Media and publishing organizations build editorial workflows with scheduled drafts, content releases, and multi-locale support. SaaS product teams model complex content types and serve them to web, mobile, and AI agent applications from a single backend. Content editors collaborate in real time with multiplayer presence, comments, and task management inside the Studio. Developers define content schemas in code and use GROQ or GraphQL to query content for any frontend framework. AI engineers build content agents that automate translation, reference updates, and publishing workflows using Agent Actions and Functions. Why Choose This Product Sanity is best suited for teams that need a flexible, developer-friendly content platform that can serve multiple applications and AI workflows from a single backend. The Free tier supports up to 20 users and 2 public datasets, while Growth and Enterprise tiers add private datasets, custom roles, SSO, and dedicated support for scaling organizations.
