In her article “What WordPress Wishes It Had: The AI Features Unveiled at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025,” Akanksha Mishra of Valuebound covers the AI advancements showcased at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025. She focuses on two core features: AI Recipes and the Experience Builder. AI Recipes are designed to configure modules, layouts, and content strategies based on site goals. The Experience Builder introduces a new interface with drag-and-drop editing, contextual recommendations, and support for managing content across multiple pages.

Mishra notes that both tools are part of Drupal’s open-source ecosystem and reflect its community-driven roadmap. The article references feedback from beta testers and remarks from Dries Buytaert’s keynote, including a WordPress representative’s acknowledgement of Drupal’s AI implementation. Mishra frames the developments as part of Drupal’s evolving approach to CMS innovation, shaped by community input and long-term planning.

She also compares Drupal’s integrated approach with WordPress’s plugin-dependent model. While WordPress maintains a larger user base, Mishra emphasizes that Drupal’s AI direction reflects a shift from trend adoption to structured innovation. The article frames this not as a rivalry, but as a divergence in how each CMS evolves within the open-source space.
