From a Single Idea to 50,000+ Users
ContentOrbit AI was founded in 2021 by a team of SEO specialists, machine learning engineers, and content strategists who were frustrated by the same problem: creating high-quality content that actually ranks takes too long and costs too much.
We set out to change that. After two years of deep research, model fine-tuning, and working closely with early beta users, we launched ContentOrbit AI publicly in 2023 — and the response was extraordinary.
Today, we power content operations for over 50,000 marketers in 15 countries, from independent bloggers to Fortune 500 content teams.
