Kristen Pol - What’s Next for Drupal AI? A Look at the 2026 Roadmap
Details
Drupal AI has grown up fast.
Over the past eight months, the AI Initiative has gone from early strategy conversations to a clear 2026 roadmap and a more structured way of delivering real features. I’ll walk through what we’re building, why we’re building it, and how we’re organizing ourselves to make it real.
We’ll cover:
- The big idea behind the 2026 roadmap (and the eight capabilities we’re focused on)
- Why Drupal CMS is the delivery vehicle
- What it actually takes to ship AI features in Drupal CMS
- How we’re connecting innovation to product delivery
Kristen will also share a sneak peek at the Context Control Center, one of the eight roadmap capabilities designed to manage brand rules, governance, audience signals, and performance data so AI delivers better results.
This isn’t a marketing pitch. It’s more of a behind-the-scenes look at:
- What's planned
- What’s working
- What’s still evolving
- Where we need help
- And where Drupal has a real opportunity to lead in responsible, human-centered AI
