Do you trust AI-automated systems to accurately manage and tag your business's digital content?

Contentstack has released new updates to its Assets add-on and headless CMS platform, introducing features like automated AI tagging and expanded bulk action capabilities. These changes are now available to users, following the company’s recent launch of its Agentic Experience Platform in June 2026.

Why it matters

The introduction of self-service account management and free subscription tiers aims to lower barriers to entry for smaller organizations. Simultaneously, technical refinements to API query parameters and bulk entry limits are designed to improve performance for larger, scaling content stacks.

The CMS now supports up to 10,000 entries for bulk actions, with API requests now restricted to positive integers to prevent timeouts. Users must implement pagination parameters to retrieve full datasets, given a default request limit of 100 records.

The players

Contentstack

A developer of headless CMS technology and AI-driven content platforms founded in 2018.

The details

The Assets add-on update brings automated AI-powered metadata tagging and duplicate image detection to help manage digital libraries. The headless CMS—a backend-only content management system that delivers content via API to any front-end—now allows for up to 5 levels of nested entry resolution. Additionally, organizations can now configure up to 5 SAML 2.0 identity providers—an open standard for exchanging authentication data between parties—to centralize user access management.

Timeline

  1. June 2026: Contentstack launched its Agentic Experience Platform.

  2. Sept. 7, 2026: The platform enabled resolution of nested embedded entries.

  3. Sept. 11, 2026: Multiple SAML identity provider support was added.

  4. Sept. 15, 2026: The bulk action limit was raised to 10,000 entries.

  5. Sept. 23, 2026: Assets add-on updates were released.

The Tech Race

Contentstack’s recent updates follow its 2026 recognition as a Leader in the Forrester Wave CMS report. These product additions maintain the company’s push to compete within the broader market for enterprise-grade headless content management systems.

Users can now leverage self-service billing and free subscription tiers to manage smaller projects. Those managing large datasets must update their API integrations to use pagination parameters to ensure data is retrieved correctly.

The takeaway

These updates mark a pivot toward both enterprise performance and accessibility for smaller development teams. Watch for further announcements regarding the company's agentic platform capabilities at ContentCon Chicago this October.

What happens next

Contentstack plans to host ContentCon Chicago on Oct. 27-28, 2026.
