Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of kultur.dev — the world's first API-first platform that gives developers programmatic access to cultural intelligence.

The Problem We're Solving

Every day, companies launch products, campaigns, and content that fail internationally because they lack cultural context. A marketing slogan that resonates in New York might offend in Tokyo. A product feature designed for American consumers might be irrelevant — or worse, inappropriate — in Saudi Arabia.

Until now, addressing this required expensive consultants, manual research, or hoping for the best and learning from mistakes. None of these options scale.

What We Built

kultur.dev provides a simple REST API that any developer can integrate in minutes. Send us your content and target market, and we'll return:

Cultural Analysis: Deep insights into how your content will be perceived in specific markets
Risk Assessment: Identification of potential cultural sensitivities or taboos
Localization Guidance: Recommendations for adapting content to local preferences
Business Etiquette: Professional norms for meetings, negotiations, and communications

Our knowledge base covers 195 countries and includes: - Religious and cultural observances - Communication styles and business practices - Social norms and taboos - Consumer behavior patterns - Legal and regulatory considerations

How It Works

Integration takes just a few lines of code:

response = requests.post( "https://api.kultur.dev/v1/query", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}, json={ "query": "What should I know about gift-giving in Japanese business culture?", "markets": ["JP"] } )

print(response.json()["answer"]) ```

The API returns structured, actionable intelligence that you can integrate directly into your workflows — whether that's content review pipelines, localization tools, or customer-facing applications.

Who It's For

We built kultur.dev for:

E-commerce platforms localizing product descriptions and marketing for international markets
Content platforms ensuring user-generated content is culturally appropriate
Enterprise software adapting interfaces and communications for global teams
Marketing agencies validating campaigns before they go live
Travel and hospitality providing travelers with cultural guidance

Our Commitment

We're committed to accuracy, respect, and continuous improvement. Our cultural knowledge base is maintained by regional experts and updated regularly to reflect evolving norms and practices. We take a respectful, nuanced approach to cultural differences — recognizing complexity without resorting to stereotypes.
