Drupal 11

With the release of Drupal 11, the content management system is no longer just a framework for building websites—it's becoming an intelligent platform powered by AI. One of the most revolutionary additions is the concept of AI Agents—modular, intelligent tools designed to automate tasks, assist users, and extend Drupal’s capabilities far beyond what traditional modules could offer.

Machine learning (ML) is no longer exclusive to big tech companies or specialized data science teams. With Drupal 11, even solo developers and small teams can harness the power of AI and ML to create smarter, more efficient websites.

Thanks to ready-made APIs, plug-and-play modules, and pre-trained models, Drupal 11 empowers anyone to build intelligent features—without writing complex algorithms or managing training data.

Design-to-code has always been a tedious part of web development—until now. With Drupal 11, AI integrations and smarter tooling are closing the gap between design mockups (like those from Figma) and real, functional Drupal pages.

Migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 11 is a major step, but artificial intelligence (AI) is making it faster, smarter, and less error-prone. In this article, we explore how AI-powered tools and modules can assist with content mapping, taxonomy classification, image optimization, and even automatic layout recreation. Learn how to integrate AI during your Drupal upgrade to save time, reduce complexity, and create cleaner, more structured content in your new site.

release of Drupal 11, the integration of AI and machine learning is no longer a futuristic concept—it's built into the core strategy of modern content management. From personalization to automated content tagging, Drupal 11 is rapidly evolving into an intelligent CMS that can transform how we build and manage websites.

In this article, we’ll explore:

Drupal is streamlining its admin experience by adopting the Gin theme as the default administration UI in Drupal 11.3, set for release in December 2025. Currently, Claro is the core default, while Gin is used in the Drupal CMS distribution—creating design fragmentation. This duality has increased the burden on UX teams who must maintain compatibility with both themes.

In today’s digital ecosystem, businesses often need to manage multiple web properties—each tailored to local markets or brand verticals—while maintaining consistency and efficiency. Enter the MACH architecture: Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless. Combining Headless Drupal 11 with Next.js offers a powerful MACH-aligned stack for scalable, multi-site platforms.

Monolithic architectures are a natural starting point for many products. They’re simple, fast to develop, and easy to deploy. But as your application grows, so does the complexity. Eventually, the all-in-one monolith starts to feel like a bottleneck—slowing down development, deployment, and innovation.

AI is reshaping how we build and manage websites, and with Drupal 10, integrating tools like OpenAI (ChatGPT) is easier than ever. Whether you want to generate content, auto-summarize text, or create a chatbot experience, the OpenAI Drupal module is a powerful solution.

This guide walks you through the full setup of the OpenAI module in Drupal 10—from installation to usage.

As AI becomes integral to web experiences, Drupal 10 developers are increasingly looking to create custom modules that harness the power of AI. Whether it’s content generation, intelligent tagging, or real-time suggestions, integrating AI into your module can supercharge your site's functionality.
