Useful AI Modules for Drupal

Exploring AI Integration in Drupal: Essential Modules to Enhance Your Admin Experience

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining traction within the Drupal community (particularly with the launch of Drupal CMS in Jan 2025), with many site owners, developers, and administrators looking to leverage its capabilities. From content generation to intelligent search, AI has the potential to enhance the Admin Experience (AX) and streamline workflows.

However, it's important to approach AI with caution. Not all AI tools are suitable for every use case, and some, particularly content generation tools, should be used carefully. Google can often flag AI-generated content as spam, which could negatively impact your SEO performance. It’s crucial to carefully evaluate AI solutions, particularly when automating content generation.

At Adaptive, we keep a very close eye on the latest AI modules for Drupal to empower content editors and site administrators. Below, we’ve compiled a list of AI-focused modules that can be considered to enhance your Drupal site's capabilities.

These modules offer diverse features, from content assistance to semantic search and SEO optimisation, providing practical tools for everyday use. We're also working on developing additional modules that build on these existing tools, aiming to further improve the Drupal Admin Experience.

A Cautious Approach to AI Content Generation

While these modules offer a range of powerful features, it’s essential to remember that pure AI-generated content can be flagged by search engines. We recommend using AI to assist and enhance content rather than fully automating it. For tasks such as SEO optimisation, tone adjustments, and content moderation, AI can deliver significant benefits without compromising quality.
