What can AI do in Drupal?
With the official Drupal AI module and Drupal CMS, AI is no longer an experiment but part of the ecosystem. These are the use cases we implement most often. Each feature can be enabled on its own - you start with whatever saves the most time.
Translation & localization
Content is pre-translated with DeepL or a language model and lands in the editorial workflow for approval.
See it in actionInternational corporate websites
Alt text & accessibility
Image descriptions are suggested automatically - and, if you like, summaries in plain language.
See it in actionEditorial teams, accessibility (EAA)
SEO & metadata
Title, description and teaser are generated from the content and only need to be reviewed by editors.
Marketing
Tagging & taxonomy
Large archives are tagged automatically and sorted into existing taxonomies.
See it in actionPublishers, knowledge platforms
Semantic AI search
Search understands questions, not just keywords - using vector search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG).
See it in actionContent-heavy websites
Chatbots & assistants
An assistant answers questions based on your own content and cites the source.

AI agents in the back end
Agents create fields, content types or drafts - the editorial team approves.

AI visibility (GEO)
Structure content so that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you.

How does AI work in Drupal?
Drupal itself is not a language model. The AI module connects Drupal to an AI provider of your choice. Because Drupal stores content in a structured way - in fields, taxonomies and relationships - the AI gets clean data instead of walls of text.
That is exactly what makes Drupal better suited for AI than many other content management systems: good AI results start with good content architecture.
-
Provider
The language model that does the work. The AI module connects more than 95 providers - interchangeable through configuration.
-
Automators & agents
Rules and agents define when AI does what: when content is saved, at the push of a button or as an assistant in the back end.
-
Guardrails & observability
Guardrails prevent, for example, personal data in prompts, and a log documents every AI request traceably.
How to get started - in three steps
Not a big-bang project, but a clear path from the first overview to the first use case in production.

Drupal AI Readiness Check
We review the version, modules, content structure and hosting of your Drupal installation. The result: is your site AI-ready, what is missing - for example an update to Drupal 11 - and which three use cases pay off first?
-
AI Potential Workshop
Together with editorial, IT and business teams we collect use cases, assess benefit, effort and risk, and decide together where you start.
-
AI Pilot
One use case goes live on your platform - with a metric agreed up front, such as minutes per translation or the share of images with alt text. Only once the pilot convinces do we roll it out further.
Why undpaul: AI as a question of architecture
Most agencies treat AI as an add-on: a chatbot here, a text generator there. We see AI as a question of architecture - because whoever integrates AI into Drupal today must still be able to maintain, replace and audit it in two years.
Architecture instead of hype
We start with the content structure. Only clean, structured data produces good AI results.
Vendor-neutral
Switching the language model is a simple configuration change. No vendor lock-in.
Maintainable
We rely on the official Drupal AI modules instead of custom builds - so your integration grows with Drupal.
Upgrade expertise
The AI module requires Drupal 10.5 or 11.2. Upgrades to Drupal 11 are part of our daily work.
