AI Initiative Partners

To ensure Drupal AI delivers meaningful outcomes, we have established a funding model called AI Partners. This structure helps fund dedicated contributors for essential work and ensures that Drupal AI delivers a significant and strategic impact.

Their involvement significantly strengthens our ability to build on Drupal’s position as the best open-source AI-powered CMS.

Your next website visitor might not be human

By pdjohnson on

For most of the web’s history, we have designed digital experiences around a simple assumption: a person will visit our website. That person might arrive through a search engine, follow a campaign link, scan a QR code, or maybe even type the URL into their browser.

AI is changing that... dramatically and rapidly!

From Headless CMS to AI Harness: What I Took to Decoupled Days

By pdjohnson on

Back in March, at EvolveDigital in Toronto, I ran into Preston So. He mentioned that the team behind Decoupled Days was looking for speakers, and that this year the event would be in Montréal. I was interested right away. Drupal Canvas is the most compelling answer I have seen to a problem that has followed decoupled architectures for years, and I wanted that message to reach beyond the Drupal faithful — out to the practitioners who live and breathe headless every day.

The talk I ended up giving was not really about a content management system at all. It was about how Drupal has quietly become something else: a governed harness for artificial intelligence. Here is the argument I made, the demo that seemed to land hardest with the room, and why I think 2026 is the year the trade-offs of going headless finally stop being trade-offs.

Move Fast, Stay On-Brand: How Drupal AI Delivers Both

By pdjohnson on

In our previous blog posts, we’ve talked about how our growing ecosystem — now backed by 32 global partner organisations and a dedicated delivery team — is structured to build a secure, stable, and highly integrable AI-native digital experience platform.

So what does this mean for your day-to-day digital communications and marketing operations? How do you translate this into improved experiences for your audience, higher conversion rates, and reduced cost?

To win in the age of AI, digital leaders don’t just need faster ways to generate content or build great digital experiences. They need a platform that helps them move at maximum speed, while still maintaining the highest quality and content standards.

Here is an inside look at the key features on the Drupal AI 2026 roadmap, focused on the outcomes that matter most to digital communications and marketing teams: speed, brand safety, and measurable ROI.

Empowering Creators and Governing Agents: The Next Phase of the Drupal AI Initiative

By pdjohnson on

In 2025, the Drupal AI Initiative launched with a clear vision: to establish Drupal as the premier open-source AI platform for digital experiences.

One year later, the market momentum is clear. What began as a highly focused working group has grown into a powerful ecosystem supported by 32 global partner organisations, over 50 active contributors, and over $2.3 million in committed funding. Most importantly, with the core AI technology now clocking up over 18,000 installs, organisations are actively building their next-generation marketing engines on Drupal.

For digital teams, AI presents a host of opportunities. The power to increase speed of production on one hand, while maintaining quality, consistency and governance on the other. Drupal is addressing this head-on by creating two dedicated product workstreams: Inside AI and Outside AI.

Outside AI - The State of Agent Experience in Drupal.

Where Drupal really stands with AI agents, where it has a right to win, and what we need to do next.

AI agents can build with almost anything. That is both great news and a problem for Drupal.

Following our announcement last week introducing Inside AI and Outside AI, we are excited to share how we are scaling our leadership and organizational structure to support these two parallel workstreams.

I spent last week at the UN in New York for Open Source Week. The AI sessions were sharp, well-attended, and full of people who have been thinking seriously about where this is all going. Ministers, engineers, researchers, cybersecurity practitioners.

Which AI Summit Is Right for You at DrupalCon Rotterdam?

Artificial intelligence is changing how we build, manage, and deliver digital experiences. But AI isn’t just a developer conversation. It’s also a conversation for architects, product owners, marketers, digital strategists, executives, and organisational leaders.

Drupal AI Initiative: introducing Inside AI and Outside AI

By pdjohnson on

A year ago, we launched the Drupal AI Initiative with a published strategy and a bet that AI would matter enormously to Drupal's future. Today the initiative spans 32 organizations and more than 50 contributors, shipping against a public 2026 roadmap.

As the work has grown, it's become clear that our AI strategy needs to cover two distinct areas. While innovation and product development remain core goals across everything we do, we are organizing our day-to-day execution into two workstreams: Inside AI, led by Christoph Breidert, and Outside AI, a new stream led by Scott Falconer.
