Overview
- Beehiiv unveiled a major release that adds AI site creation, podcast hosting and real‑time analytics, positioning the platform as a single place to create, publish, grow, analyze and monetize.
- The website tool can build full sites by chatting with AI or by recreating uploaded images and screenshots, following Beehiiv’s acquisition of AI site builder Typedream.
- Creators can sell digital products and run paid subscriptions without platform fees, with courses and merchandise planned for next year.
- Beehiiv says it will make money from advertising and platform fees rather than taking creator revenue, and it rolled out advertiser tools including a self‑serve ad dashboard and campaign performance tracking.
- The company cites more than 35 billion emails sent and 55,000 creators, previously raised a $33 million Series B, and now reports a $32 million annual run rate with roughly $1 million a month from its ad network.
