The three human skills that turn AI into a multiplier.

Creativity, strategic thinking, and articulation are the three skills that decide whether AI makes you better or just faster. - Aidan Foster

If you’ve spent any time around Drupal lately, you’ve probably noticed that AI is everywhere — in the keynotes, in the hallway conversations, in the issue queues. You may also have noticed that everyone else seems to know what they're doing, while you're still trying to figure out where to start.

You are not. Not even close.

Those questions — what is actually going on, and where do I even start? — are exactly what the Drupal AI Learners Club was built for.

Join us to hear directly from the team behind an award-winning AI solution built for local government. What does genuinely useful AI in public services look like? Not a concept, not a pilot, but a working solution that saves hours of manual work, improves accessibility, and puts better content in front of citizens faster.

The Drupal AI Initiative marks its first year since the spark of conception at Drupal Developer Days in Leuven, having grown into the largest multi-company collaboration in Drupal community history. Launched officially in June 2025, the initiative has expanded to 34 partners, reached nearly 14,000 installs growing at approximately 260 sites per week, and secured $380,000 in cash alongside $1.5 million in in-kind contributions.

Delivery frameworks, funded roles across multiple organisations, and an active 2026 roadmap are all in place, while marketing efforts have raised Drupal's profile at major international events. As the community gathers in Athens, the focus turns to Rotterdam and the next phase of growth, with 12 additional partners targeted ahead of DrupalCon.
