11.14 is live! And we included something SUPER cool to cap off 2025...
Remember when we shipped MCP and you could finally talk to your Directus instance through Claude or ChatGPT?
Cool, but also meant keeping two apps open. We fixed that!
✨ AI Chat ✨ is now a sidebar in the Data Studio.
LinkedIn takes itself too seriously.
So we made a machine that turns profiles into Christmas carols.
directus.is/carols
Why? Who knows.
But it's free and very silly.
Hoppy holidays!

The real win wasn't just technical though, it was human. Startup founders now spend time building, not fighting broken forms. Job seekers find opportunities that actually match.
The EuraTechnologies team focuses on fostering innovation instead of wrestling with their CMS.
The breakthrough? Separating content from presentation meant EuraTechnologies could finally move at startup speed. Now:
> New companies can be onboarded instantly
> Job postings can go live automatically
> Virtual tours can showcase their spaces like never before
Instead of just "fixing" the website, they built a content powerhouse. Directus became the brain orchestrating everything: startup profiles, job feeds, lead capture, you name it.
EuraTechnologies hosts 300+ startups and processes thousands of job applications, but their website couldn't handle the scale. Startup founders were frustrated, job seekers were bouncing, and the team was drowning in manual processes.
Our partners Web Vision 360 saw the problem differently.
Because when your tools look like your brand, your team works better. And when your team works better, everything else follows.
Your admin interface should feel like home:
✅ Upload your logo, set your colors, choose your fonts
✅ Keep branding consistent across every project and team
✅ Make your CMS feel like a natural extension of your workspace
That's why we built our Studio from the ground-up to be fully customizable.
That disconnect matters more than you think:
❌ Breaks the flow when jumping between your brand and theirs
❌ Makes internal tools feel like external obligations
❌ Harder to get team buy-in when it doesn't feel like "ours"
Most platforms force you into their design box. Generic interfaces. Corporate blue everywhere. Your team opens the admin panel and immediately knows they're in "someone else's" software.
Your website is visually stunning.
Why is your CMS a billboard for some other company?
Our webhook setup is as simple as the no-code tools you're already using:
✅ Visual, point-and-click configuration
✅ Choose what triggers your webhooks with dropdowns
✅ Pick exactly what data to send (no bloated payloads)
Because everyone deserves data that just works.
When you're managing content, shouldn't you be able to see how it's actually performing alongside your content...instead of another tab?
Our Plausible analytics bundle brings privacy-friendly analytics directly into your content management workflow.
