Strapi acts like a centralized "brain" for your digital content: instead of having your content trapped inside a single website, Strapi stores it in a flexible library that can send information through various "delivery pipes" (APIs) to reach any destination—whether it's a mobile app, an e-commerce site, or a smartwatch—all while using AI to help translate and organize that information automatically.
