Drupal is entering a new era, transforming into an AI-first CMS. Powered by open, ethical, and human-centred AI.
We’re proud to launch the free webinar training series offered in partnership with the European Commission. These free, public webinars are designed to equip the global Drupal community with practical skills, architectural understanding, and the ethical frameworks needed to work with AI inside Drupal. Whether you’re a developer, site builder, content strategist, or part of a digital agency team, there’s something here for you.
The series brings together contributors from across the open source AI ecosystem, featuring maintainers of the AI module, members of the Drupal AI Strategic Initiative, and the wider Drupal CMS innovation team.
We really believe that the process of contributing—of trying things out, experimenting on difficult problems—helps bring AI knowledge into both individuals and their organisations.

Watch the first session recording today
“Bringing Drupal AI into your DNA – How to Learn, Use and Contribute to the Drupal AI Ecosystem”, aired live on 10 June and is available to watch on YouTube. Hosted by Jamie Abrahams (FreelyGive) with a guest appearance from Drupal founder Dries Buytaert (Acquia), this session outlined the architecture, vision, and community momentum behind Drupal’s approach to AI.
It introduced viewers to:
- The AI module and its plugin-based approach to LLM providers
- Use cases like content automation, accessibility improvements, and semantic search
- The ethical principles guiding Drupal’s AI efforts: Trust, Transparency, and Choice
- Drupal AI Agents and Swarms: modular, no-code AI orchestration already in use today
- A strategic roadmap that includes tight integration with upcoming Experience Builder features and MCP (Model Context Protocol)
We imagine a future where site builders define the goal—like 300 event signups—and AI agents get to work alongside humans to make it happen.

Upcoming Sessions
In the coming months, the webinar series continues with targeted training sessions that build upon each other. All sessions are free, recorded, and open to the public.
- 1 July: Installing the AI Module & Basic Features
- 2 September: AI Search
- 23 September: AI Agents (No-Code Creation)
- 7 October: Advanced: Build AI Agents with Code
Each webinar will include demonstrations, practical walk-throughs, and guidance on how to get started, contribute back, and explore AI ethically in your Drupal projects.
AI is not a substitute for human intelligence—it’s a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity.
