Today we're announcing that the Tedix blog is now powered by Emdash CMS — the same content management system we offer to every organization on our platform. This isn't just a technology migration; it's proof that our stack works end-to-end.

## Why Emdash?

Emdash is an open-source, Astro-native CMS built by Cloudflare. It stores content as Portable Text — structured JSON that's far richer than markdown. Every block, every inline annotation, every embed is a typed object that AI agents can read, write, and transform programmatically.

For Tedix, this means our digital workers (tedis) can manage content through 43 MCP tools — creating posts, managing taxonomies, uploading media, and configuring schemas without ever touching a browser.

## The Architecture

Each organization on Tedix gets an isolated CMS instance running as a Workers for Platforms User Worker. Your CMS lives at {slug}.cms.tedix.dev with its own D1 database and R2 media storage. The same Emdash bundle runs everywhere — per-org bindings provide the isolation.

## Vibe-Coding Themes with CMS Studio

CMS Studio is our MCP-first vibe-coding environment for Emdash themes. Connect any MCP client — Claude Code, ChatGPT, or your own tedi — and describe the theme you want. The AI agent writes Astro components, Tailwind CSS, and page templates while you watch the preview update in real-time. When you're happy, one command deploys to your live CMS. Version history and rollback are built in.

## What's Next

We're building custom Emdash plugins for AEO scoring, citation tracking, and view analytics — all vibe-coded through CMS Studio. The Tedix blog becomes the proving ground for every feature we ship to customers.
