Beehiiv is expanding beyond newsletters with the launch of Community, a new feature that lets subscribers interact directly on the platform, and Copilot, an AI assistant designed to help creators grow their audiences and improve performance.

The additions are part of the company’s broader effort to position itself as an all-in-one platform for creators.

Expanding Beyond Newsletters

Over recent months, Beehiiv has introduced podcasts, webinars and customizable paywalls as it broadens its product offering. According to the company, half of creators using its podcast tools migrated from other platforms.

Bringing Communities In-House

Community allows publishers to host discussion forums, chat rooms and paid membership spaces without relying on third-party platforms such as Discord, Slack or Facebook Groups.

Beehiiv CEO Tyler Denk told TechCrunch that audiences often share common interests but have limited opportunities to interact with one another. The feature is intended to strengthen engagement while giving creators greater control over their communities.

New AI And Monetization Tools

Beehiiv also introduced Copilot, an AI assistant that analyzes audience behaviour, subscriber trends and content performance to recommend ways to grow publications and increase revenue. It can review newsletter and podcast performance, draft outreach campaigns and identify monetization opportunities.

The company is also expanding its advertising tools with programmatic ads that match campaigns to audiences based on relevance and performance. Beehiiv said publishers on its platform now generate more than $1 million in monthly revenue through its advertising network.

Earlier this year, Beehiiv launched an MCP server that connects the platform with AI assistants including ChatGPT and Claude, while also investing in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to improve newsletter visibility in AI-generated responses.

Product Updates Continue

The company is also rolling out a redesigned editor with side-by-side editing and preview modes. Denk said Beehiiv’s next priority is helping creators adopt the platform’s expanding set of tools through additional education and guidance.

Beehiiv’s latest releases come as competition in the creator economy intensifies. Rivals are also broadening their offerings, with Riverside adding newsletter publishing and Substack launching a built-in recording studio earlier this year.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
