Something changed this year in how organizations arrive at Drupal. The first "user" of a platform is increasingly not a person reading a comparison spreadsheet - it's an AI agent that's been handed a goal, picks the path of least friction, builds, verifies, and hands the result back to humans. When that path leads to Drupal, entire portfolios move: in one recent enterprise motion, agents rebuilt hundreds of existing non-Drupal sites on Drupal in a few days - part of the story behind some of Acquia's biggest recent wins.

This session shares the mechanics behind that shift, grounded in evidence rather than hype. Months of head-to-head agent build testing surfaced a finding that reshapes how we think about growth: agents don't undo Drupal's foundation - they undo pre-baked decisions. That finding explains why "your existing site" beats any template, why recipes plus intent outlast static starting points, and why Drupal's governance architecture is the differentiator in a world where generation is commoditized. We'll walk the full arc: making Drupal genuinely reachable to agents, keeping humans in charge of the decisions that matter, and freeing them from the work that doesn't need them - the smoke tests, content sweeps, compliance checks, and localization passes that come with operating hundreds of sites once they land. Drupal is growing. Come see how.
