Our Commitment to Drupal’s Strategic AI Initiative

At amazee.io, we’ve always believed that open source isn’t just a license, but a commitment to community. From our roots as a Drupal-focused web development team to becoming a global leader in application hosting, Drupal has always been a part of our DNA. So it’s no surprise that we’re proud to support and scale one of its most exciting new frontiers: The Strategic Drupal AI Initiative.

Where it all started: From DrupalCon to Strategic Initiative

Our journey with Drupal AI began the way many great open source stories do—at a DrupalCon. What began as an experiment quickly evolved into a bigger vision: to make Drupal not just AI-compatible but truly AI-native.

Over the past year, Drupal AI has matured into a full framework with multiple AI provider integrations. This allows developers and content editors to plug in their favorite models and start working, with no custom integration required. Now, with the backing of Dries Buytaert and the Drupal Association, Drupal AI is well on its way to becoming an official strategic initiative.

AI-Native CMS: Why It Matters

So why should Drupal go all-in on AI? Well, most importantly, because AI is already reshaping how we create content, personalize experiences, and build websites. If CMSs don’t evolve and adapt to meet these new demands, they risk becoming obsolete.

By making AI a core part of Drupal in a privacy-first, modular, and fully open way, we can help developers and teams leverage AI's potential. This isn’t about jumping on the hype train; it’s about making AI accessible, useful, and ethical in open source.

Our Commitment: Backing Drupal AI with Action

At amazee.io, we’re not just cheering from the sidelines, we’re actively involved. Here’s how we’re supporting the Strategic Drupal AI Initiative:

• Financial backing: We’re directly funding the Drupal AI initiative with $20,000, covering coordination time and operational resources.

• Dedicated contributors: Multiple amazee.io and amazee.ai team members are contributing code, maintaining modules, and working with the community. In combination, that’s the equivalent of one full-time employee.

• Free AI access for contributors: Anyone contributing to Drupal AI gets unlimited free usage of amazee.ai — no credit cards, no gotchas. Just email ai-support@amazee.io or ping us in Drupal Slack to get started.

The Future We’re Building (Together)

So what’s our end goal? 

A Drupal that ships with optional AI capabilities out of the box, with a growing library of use cases, plugins, and providers, just like WYSIWYG editors or media libraries did in the past.

But we can’t do this alone. If you’re a developer, designer, site builder, agency, or just curious about the future of CMS, here are a few ways that you can get involved:

• 🔧 Build, test, and improve a module of Drupal AI
• 📢 Try Drupal AI at try.amazee.ai
• 🧪 Try the amazee.ai provider and give us feedback
• 🤝 Learn more about the Drupal AI Strategic Initiative and join the ai-initiative channel on Drupal Slack

This is your invitation. Let’s build a smarter, more open web - together.
