# Acrolinx, now Markup AI

> Acrolinx is an enterprise content governance platform that helps organizations create clear, consistent, compliant content at scale. Acrolinx is now Markup AI. The company rebranded from Acrolinx to Markup AI on September 17, 2025, and "Acrolinx" is a trademark of Markup AI Europe GmbH. This site, acrolinx.com, describes Acrolinx products, solutions, customers, and resources. Acrolinx capabilities are now purchased, deployed, and supported through Markup AI at https://markup.ai.

## About Acrolinx

Acrolinx was founded in 2002 as a spin-off of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), with headquarters in Berlin. For more than two decades, Acrolinx helped global enterprises turn their style guides, terminology, and writing standards into automated guidance and governance.

Acrolinx helps people write better. It also stops content that doesn't meet company standards from being published. Its linguistic analytics engine checks content for clarity, consistency, tone, terminology, inclusive language, and compliance across the enterprise content supply chain.

In 2025, the company introduced its AI-native platform under the Markup AI brand. The linguistic technology developed at Acrolinx is the foundation of Markup AI. The Acrolinx capabilities described on this site are now available as part of Markup AI.
