About us
Built by people who have worked the newsroom desk.
We started Yodest to give editorial teams one calm place to plan, write, publish and learn from their work.
Our story
Tired of taping tools together.
Yodest started after years of watching editorial teams tape together a CMS, a chat app, an AI chatbot and a spreadsheet just to get one story out the door.
We built the tool we wished we had: one workspace, from assignment to published story, with AI that helps journalists instead of replacing them. Today we build it alongside the newsrooms that use it.
Yodest today
A small team with a clear focus.
What we believe
Three rules we build by.
Journalists first
Every feature starts with a question: does this give a reporter or editor more time for the story?
Help, not replacement
Our AI suggests. People decide. Nothing is published without an editor’s say.
Plain and fast
A tool used under deadline has to be obvious. If it needs a manual, we have not finished it.

Founder, Yodest
I started Yodest out of frustration. Working with existing publishing tools, I kept seeing simple tasks turn into a juggling act across several disconnected systems. None of them were built with media teams in mind, and none of them worked well together.
So I decided to build the platform I wished existed: one AI-powered CMS that brings the whole publishing workflow into a single place, designed specifically for news and media companies. My goal is simple: less time wrestling with tools, more time on the stories that matter.
