Don't just take our word for it
It finally feels like I have a backend that works the way I want it to.
Co-founder, Northbeam
Tessa is arguably as big a productivity boost for our content team as anything we've adopted this year.
Founder, Pellet
Gave this a try and wow — instant APIs on our existing database, zero migration drama.
Founding Engineer, Hivemind
I've fully switched to Tessa — feels like going from typing with two fingers to having eight arms.
Product Designer, Layer
Tessa across multiple projects has been wild for my workflow. I feel like a true full-stack team of one.
Sr. Software Engineer, Tideline
This is seriously good. So much faster than wiring it all together by hand.
CTO, Brightfield
Loving Tessa so far. Do give it a try.
Co-founder & CEO, Cartomap
The future of content tooling looks a lot like this.
Head of Design, Cron
If you want AI agents working on your data safely, use Tessa. Beautiful UI and the MCP server handles everything for you.

It took some adjustment, but now I can't imagine shipping without Tessa.
Design Engineer, Wove
Is Tessa the new standard? Just used it for the first time and it's lovely.

// What is a collaborative backend? //
Teams can work independently. On the same data.
Three teams, three different jobs, one backend. No tickets required.
Translate and publish in one conversation.
A content editor asks the AI assistant to translate a blog post into French, German and Spanish. It writes the translations straight into the correct locale fields. No third-party tool, no copy-paste, no manual field mapping. One conversation, done.
Scaffold a data model from your IDE.
A developer connects Cursor to Tessa via MCP and asks it to create a new collection with fields, relationships and validation rules. The schema is live in seconds. No clicking through the studio, no writing migration scripts.
Tag 500 images before lunch.
An ops manager connects Claude Desktop to Tessa and asks it to analyze product images, generate alt text and apply category tags. The metadata is written directly to the asset records. Hours of manual work, gone.

// AI & MCP //
AI that acts on your data. Not a copy of it.
Connect any model or agent to your backend. The same access policies that govern your team govern your AI.
Built-in AI Assistant
Conversational AI embedded in the Studio. It writes, translates, creates records, and routes content for review.
Native MCP Server
Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible tool directly to your Tessa backend.
Governed by Default
AI agents operate under the same role-based access control as human users.
