The role of Drupal in the AI age

Drupal & AI, Ladies and Gentlemen!

Yes, it’s happening. The world’s most powerful CMS is stepping into the age of intelligence. But before you scream “finally!” or start dreaming of content that writes itself…

Let me just say this: This post isn’t about selling hype. It’s about showing where Drupal fits — and where it doesn’t — in the AI wave.

Because here’s the truth: Drupal doesn’t need to be an AI platform. It needs to be the content brain behind your AI experiences. Use it to manage structured content. Use it to feed your chatbots, assistants, smart search tools. Use it to own your data pipeline, not rent it from a black box.

AI isn’t magic — it’s math and data.

And Drupal? It’s damn good at managing content as data.

That’s the part most teams miss. They chase AI features but forget the boring stuff: Content models. Permissions. Translations. Context.

Drupal gives you control.

AI gives you leverage.

Combine them right, and you’ve got something powerful.

Start asking: “How can I use Drupal to fuel my AI strategy?”

Because in the next 12 months, every org will want AI — but only a few will have the infrastructure to use it well.

Drupal’s not just part of the AI conversation — it can own the content layer for it.
