The Agentic Shift in Drupal AI
AI in Drupal started as assistive: write a title, summarize a page, translate copy. Useful, but limited.
The next shift is agentic.
Instead of helping with a task, Drupal AI can observe an event, gather context, and execute a workflow with human control built in.
In this session, Dominique De Cooman (Drupal Association board member and leader in the Drupal AI initiative) shares how this shift is already happening in the Drupal ecosystem.
From copilots to workflows to agents, you’ll see what changes and what you can do today.
Drupal AI is moving beyond prompt boxes and content helpers. The next wave is agentic: systems that retrieve trusted context, reason across structured content and connected data, and execute bounded workflows across search, content, forms, and campaigns.
This session is a field report from the Drupal ecosystem. We’ll explore how Drupal AI is evolving across three layers: assistive AI (copilots), orchestrated AI (connected workflows), and agentic AI (systems that act).
Through real use cases from the Drupal AI initiative and production implementations, we’ll cover:
- Trusted answers and conversational search
- Service copilots for support teams
- Content and policy update factories
- Personalized journeys and campaign orchestration
- Incident communication and change-to-experience workflows
We’ll show why Drupal is uniquely positioned for this shift: structured content, permissions, workflows, multilingual capabilities, and open integrations form the ideal foundation for safe and scalable AI.
Finally, we’ll go beyond the hype. You’ll learn how to make AI work in real environments through guardrails, approvals, observability, auditability, and sovereignty.
You’ll leave with a clear framework to decide what Drupal AI should assist with, what it can automate, and which agentic workflows are ready to pilot now.
