About Storyblok

Storyblok is layering AI, workflow automation, and enterprise governance on its headless CMS core.

Storyblok continues to ship at a steady clip across three coherent axes: AI-assisted authoring (custom AI tokens, model bring-your-own, folder-level AI translations, usage-based AI Credits), workflow primitives (FlowMotion, Release Merging, Content Calendar), and enterprise governance (SSO/non-SSO role mixing, finer permissions, accessibility refactors). The most recent batch is dominated by enterprise-shaped depth — accessibility passes done with external auditors, SSO role flexibility, security alignment between API and UI access controls.
