Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world fast, and if you thought Drupal would lag behind, think again. Drupal’s keeping up and even outsmarting some of its AI-savvy peers.
From automation to smarter SEO to simple editorial workflows, Drupal offers a toolkit of AI modules that bring intelligence straight to your CMS.
In this blog, I’ll walk you through some AI modules Drupal offers that can future-proof your website and your business.
1. AI (Artificial Intelligence) Module
The Drupal AI module brings powerful AI capabilities to your website, making it smarter and more efficient without the need for deep technical expertise. It allows you to connect your Drupal website with various AI services, starting from text generation to image creation, based on user behavior insights. It works with popular AI services such as OpenAI (ChatGPT, DALL·E), Anthropic (Claude), and even open-source models you can host yourself.. If you’ve been keeping up with our blogs, you probably know we recently built SmartLinker AI—a handy tool that automates internal linking. We built it using the Drupal AI module framework, which gave us the tools (and shortcuts!) to get it up and running faster and smarter.
Why install it?
Thanks to Drupal’s AI module, you can infuse AI within your site starting from scratch as the module builds the foundation for you. Developers love this module for its flexibility, which makes it convenient for them to plug into multiple AI services without any hassle.
2. AI Readme Generator
How boring can it be to write documentation manually in a world ruled by automation, right?
Introducing the AI Readme Generator module for Drupal. It helps you write auto-generated README.md files for custom and contrib modules, based on code and structure. It helps maintain uniformity across all development teams.
Why install it?
Of course, we want to save as much time as we can in this digitally fast-paced world. That’s exactly why you’d want to opt for clear documentation that saves development time, particularly during larger projects. The AI Readme Generator ensures all custom or contrib modules have clean, consistent, and updated documentation while you save valuable time on onboarding and maintenance.
3. Drupal SEO Studio: AI Meta Tags
As the name suggests, the Drupal SEO studio module looks after your SEO requirements, such as adding the SEO tab to your content editing screen. Its artificial intelligence support includes generating optimized meta titles and descriptions. For all the content across your Drupal website to rank well on SERPs, it’s crucial to ensure optimized SEO without hampering the existing content structure.
Why install it?
If your site’s packed with content, writing meta tags manually isn’t just tedious, it’s nearly impossible to keep up. Enter Drupal SEO Studio. Let it take care of your meta tags quicker and easily. It saves time, improves SEO, and aligns your website with current search engine algorithms. This helps drive more organic traffic with minimum effort.
4. SEO AI
Want your site to rank higher on search engines? It takes more than just good intentions. It takes solid research and well-optimized content. The Drupal SEO AI module helps generate on-demand SEO reports backed with insights and suggestions with the help of artificial intelligence. It thoroughly reviews your website content and metadata, processes the results, and suggests actionable recommendations that will improve your search visibility.
Why install it?
I mean, after the stuff that I mentioned above, I’m sure you already know why you need this module.
Instead of juggling several external tools for SEO audits, this one AI module brings AI-driven analysis to your admin’s fingertips. The SEO AI module can be your go-to module for consistent SEO tuning without stepping out of your Drupal site for external support.
5. CKEditor 5 Premium Features
You must already be quite familiar with this module – CKEditor 5. However, its premium features are here to supercharge your editing experience. Need real-time collaboration, track changes, or a little help from AI while writing? CKEditor 5’s premium features bring that Google Docs-like experience, only better, because it’s built right into Drupal.
Why install it?
Managing a team of authors, content creators, and marketers becomes extremely easy, thanks to the premium features of the CKEditor 5 module. It helps with streamlining editing, reducing review cycles, and boosting productivity across all teams.
6. ChatGPT Content Assistant
Almost everybody in the digital space has experience chatting with ChatGPT and getting their work done. And if nothing else, they’ve probably generated AI-images for the latest Ghibli trend (oh well).
Drupal’s ChatGPT Content Assistant lets you integrate ChatGPT directly into your UI and generate articles, product descriptions, and optimized content for your website. Additionally, it handles keyword extraction and, yes, image generation too.
Why install it?
Content is key, so you heard it. And it is inevitable. But not always easy. Or fast. That’s why this module is designed to assist non-writers and marketers in creating high-quality content that engages users with minimal effort and less time, all while working within Drupal.
7. Chatbot API
Next on my list is the Chatbot API by Drupal. It integrates intelligent chatbots with your Drupal website. The Chatbot API supports a wide variety of chatbot platforms, like Slack, Messenger, custom bots, etc.
Why install it?
What is it that you want – a customer support bot or a lead gen assistant? Drupal’s Chatbot API provides a framework that streamlines integration and allows you to re-utilize existing code across platforms. Simply put, it’s your perfect AI-powered weapon for conversational UX projects.
8. Moderated Content Bulk Publish
With content being the main attraction for all websites, you need to prioritize it and make workflows easier for editorial teams. Whether it’s bulk-publishing or unpublishing moderated content directly from the Drupal admin panel, Moderated Content Bulk Publish is the tool for the job.
Why install it?
To ease the work for your content team. That’s the short answer.
The longer answer is that larger websites need content updates. Manually updating content for such websites can be time-consuming. This module helps you save time and reduce friction in your editorial work, simplifying things for publishers and news portals. It also adds handy features like content pinning and quick language switching.
9. AI Image Alt Text
Last (but not least) on our list is the AI Image Alt Text module that auto-generates image alt text with the help of artificial intelligence. This module helps improve your website’s accessibility and SEO scalability. You need not worry about describing images or updating alt attributes across your web pages now that Drupal offers this handy module to ease things for you.
Why install it?
Alt texts are necessary for both accessibility compliance and search rankings. Automating alt text makes sure that all images are user and search-engine-friendly, more so for media-heavy sites.
