Milan-based Contents.com, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to provide multilingual content generation services, announced Monday the company has raised $18 million in new funding to grow its multiple large language model generative AI platform.

The company’s Series B fundraise was led by Alkemia Capital and Thomson Reuters Ventures. FNDX and Invictus Capital also contributed to the round.

Founded in 2021, Contents.com provides content creation and orchestration capabilities for enterprise customers using multiple large language models in concert capable of producing media in multiple formats including text, images, audio, video and animations across multiple languages. This provides marketing, e-commerce and business development teams a quick way to produce materials for everyday business operations, the company says.

“In an era where innovation drives progress, Contents.com aims to assist global companies to stay ahead,” said founder and Chief Executive Massimiliano Squillace. “This funding will push us beyond traditional boundaries, revolutionizing high-quality, multilingual content creation globally.”

The company’s global reach extends through many regions that use different languages including Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia. The company says that its use of multiple LLMs to produce generative content allows workers to quickly mock up content in the native language of audiences and this makes it an indispensable tool for getting materials ready for production.

Customers of Contents.com include the multinational home furnishing company IKEA, financial services company Allianz SE, networking technology company Netgear Inc., and online travel and leisure retailer Lastminute.com.

Alongside delivering content creation, customers can also use the Contents.com platform for multilingual AI translation and transformation. The platform is available as software as a service, which enables customers to localize their content to whatever audience is reading their website or application. The platform is capable of supporting more than 25 different languages.

Contents.com is available as a WordPress plugin, making it simple to integrate into one of the most popular content management systems and blogging platforms in the world. Using the plugin users can provide a title, a brief summary and a tone of voice and the AI will write an article for them, including search engine optimization.

For customers interested in delivering a more intimate experience to their users, the platform also provides an AI conversational chatbot capable of a multilingual experience. The AI chatbot supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
