This session focuses on how AI can support site builders and product teams in making faster, more confident decisions, improving collaboration, and enabling iterative migrations with safer rollbacks.

Prerequisite

Attendees will get the most out of this session if they have:

A basic understanding of Drupal's content architecture (content types, fields, and the entity system)
Familiarity with the concept of content migration in Drupal (awareness of the Migrate API is helpful but not mandatory)
A general awareness of how AI tools (LLMs) work as assistants, at a conceptual level - no machine learning background required

Target Audience

Someone who is mid-planning or about to start a migration from a legacy websites into Drupal CMS. Ambitious Site Builders, Drupal Developers, Solution Architects, Technical Project Managers, Product Owners of digital platforms that really want to scale.

Outline

Migrating content into Drupal CMS is not just about moving data - it's about understanding it.
Before writing a single migration, teams spend weeks analyzing legacy pages, defining content models, mapping fields, and dealing with inconsistencies. This session introduces a new approach: using AI to accelerate content discovery and streamline the path to a clean Drupal CMS implementation.
Through the AI Content Migrate module, we’ll explore how AI can analyze legacy HTML, detect repeatable structures, and propose Drupal content types and fields aligned with modern Drupal CMS best practices. The system suggests mappings, extracts structured data using generated selectors, and prepares migration configurations ready for execution.
This session focuses on how AI can support site builders and product teams in making faster, more confident decisions, improving collaboration, and enabling iterative migrations with safer rollbacks.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

Understand how AI can be applied to content discovery: analyzing legacy HTML to detect recurring structures and implicit content models
Recognize how the AI Content Migrate module bridges the gap between unstructured legacy content and Drupal CMS content types and fields
Evaluate AI-generated content type and field suggestions critically, understanding where human judgment remains essential
Apply a more efficient, iterative workflow for content modeling and migration planning, reducing time spent in the discovery and mapping phase
