The story, the principles, and the team." --- About Fimo # AI builds. Humans edit. Agents run. AI can build a website in hours. Keeping it alive after launch is the part that never got solved. Fimo’s mission is simple: make the web autonomous. Teaser available soon --- Our story ## From Strapi to Fimo. For a decade we built Strapi, the leading open-source headless CMS, giving millions of developers an API to make their content editable. Today, agents build the website itself. Fimo is what runs it after launch: editable by your whole team, operated by your agents. 1. 2015 Strapi We built the leading open-source headless CMS. 2. A decade in Open source at scale Millions of developers and thousands of teams run Strapi in production. 3. 2024 AI changed the build Models improved. Agents build the site now, not humans. 4. 2026 Fimo The autonomous website platform. Your code, your agents, running your site. > “AI changed how websites are built, not how they are run after launch. Fimo is how we make the web autonomous.” > > Pierre Burgy and Aurélien Georget, co-founders of Fimo. 20M npm downloads 70K GitHub stars 53M Docker pulls 2,000+ customers --- Our principles ## What we believe. ### Websites improve themselves. Fimo agents keep working after launch, so your site gets better every day it is live instead of decaying. ### You stay in control. Agents do the work; you set the goals and approve what goes live. Every change is versioned and reversible. ### Code stays yours. Real code in your own GitHub organization. No proprietary builder, no lock-in, yours to move anytime. --- Team ## Meet the team.

Fimo is the [autonomous website platform](/agentic-cms) for AI-built websites. It makes websites editable for humans and operable by AI agents while preserving the underlying code developers already own. ### Why did you build Fimo? We spent the last decade building infrastructure that made websites editable. AI fundamentally changed how websites are built, but not how they are operated after launch. We built Fimo to make the web autonomous by providing the infrastructure autonomous websites need, not simply another feature added to yesterday CMS. ### Who is behind Fimo? Fimo is built by the founders of Strapi, who spent more than a decade building one of the world leading open-source CMSs before starting Fimo. The same focus on developer experience, openness, and ownership continues with Fimo. ### Who is Fimo for? Fimo is built for [developers](/for-developers), designers, [marketers](/for-marketers), [founders](/for-founders), and agencies building websites with AI. Developers keep their existing workflow and codebase. Marketing teams gain the ability to edit content independently. AI agents handle the repetitive work that keeps websites current and discoverable: optimizing content for search and AI answers, fixing technical issues, and strengthening internal links, so visibility grows without a person doing it each time. ### Does Fimo work with websites I already built? Yes. Fimo is designed for websites built with [AI coding tools](/features/ai-stack) such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, but it also works with existing code-first websites. Rather than replacing your project, Fimo adds a content and autonomy layer on top of it. ### Do I need to be a developer? No. If you got your site built with Claude Code or Cursor, you have already cleared the highest bar: running it with Fimo is easier than building it was. You [edit visually](/features/visual-editor), by chat, or through the CMS, and agents handle the technical upkeep. And if developers do work on the site, they keep full ownership of the code; everyone else never has to touch it. ### Who owns my code? You do. Your website remains your code, in your repository. Fimo works on top of your existing project rather than replacing it with a proprietary builder, so you are never locked into a closed platform. ### Is Fimo safe? Safety is built into how Fimo works. Your site stays real code in your repository, every change is versioned and reversible, agents work in [isolated environments](/features/environments) that cannot touch production until a change is merged, and permissions are per person. Anything you want gated waits for human sign-off. ### Can AI agents make changes without my approval? Only if you let them. You decide how autonomous your website should be: [AI agents](/features/agents) operate within the permissions you define, every change is versioned and reversible, and workflows can require human review before anything is published. ### Is Fimo open source? No, Fimo is not open source. But the parts developers care about most, ownership and portability, still hold: your website stays real code in your own GitHub repository, there is no proprietary builder and no lock-in, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. Fimo runs the layer above the code, and that code is always yours. --- ## Start building. Join 2,000+ teams shipping autonomous websites with Fimo. [Try Fimo](https://fimo.ai/auth/sign-up) Book a demo
