Exactly four months after we released AI 1.1.0 and AI Agents 1.1.0, we are very proud to release the 1.2.0 in stable releases.
A major milestone for Drupal AI
The Drupal AI 1.2.0 release marks a huge step forward in making AI practical, transparent, and empowering for everyone — from developers to editors to digital leaders.
It transforms how content is created and managed, letting users and editors interact with AI directly inside Drupal’s UI through the new Field Widget Actions, and giving organizations total visibility and control with AI Observability.
With tools like the Prompt Library for consistent, best-practice AI prompts, a redesigned Toolbar Chatbot for seamless assistance, and innovations such as Progress Service for Agents, OpenAI PDF support, Image-to-Image editing, and PHP Fibers for faster performance - Drupal AI brings enterprise-grade intelligence right into everyday workflows.
For companies, it means smarter, faster, and more consistent digital experiences; for end users, it means AI that feels natural, helpful, and transparent - all built on Drupal’s trusted open-source foundation.
Key Highlights in Drupal AI and AI Agents 1.2.0
Field Widget Actions – Invoke AI from Anywhere
Editors can now interact with AI directly within any entity form. The new Field Widget Actions module introduces one-click AI assistance for tasks such as generating summaries, titles, categories, or tags—all while keeping editorial control front and centre.
This feature integrates seamlessly with AI Content Suggestions, AI Automators, and AI Agents, enabling both simple preset interactions and complex autonomous logic.
Advanced users can extend it further via ECA integrations, unlocking over 100+ potential use cases.
AI Observability – Full Transparency for AI Operations
The all-new AI Observability module delivers enterprise-grade monitoring for AI processes.
Built atop Drupal’s PSR logging infrastructure, it tracks token usage, errors, and performance metrics—paving the way for integrations with tools like OpenTelemetry.Partnerships with the Extended Logger module will soon offer advanced visualizations for real-time insights.
Prompt Library – Share and Standardize Prompts as Configurations
Prompt management is now easier than ever. The Prompt Library allows modules and organizations to ship preconfigured prompts, ensuring consistency and best practices across projects.
This enables teams to embed domain-specific prompt engineering directly into their Drupal distributions or recipes.
New Toolbar Chatbot – Smarter, Friendlier, and More Integrated
A refreshed Toolbar Chatbot interface provides a larger, more intuitive conversational design for AI assistants helping site admins and editors.
The updated style becomes the new default, remaining fully backwards compatible with existing chatbots.
Progress Service for Agents – Transparent Multi-step Interactions
Complex agent workflows can now display progress in real time.
The new Progress Service gives granular insights into what an agent is doing, which tools it has invoked, and what actions it plans next—ideal for debugging, logging, and enhancing user trust during long-running operations.
OpenAI PDF Support – Chat with Your Documents
The OpenAI provider now supports direct PDF ingestion in Chat Explorer and custom integrations.
Upload PDFs as contextual data sources and use them in AI tasks—perfect for “chat with your documents” features.
Image-to-Image Operations – Edit images using natural language
The Image-to-Image operation type has been added and thanks to innovations from Nano Banana and DreamStudio, Drupal AI can now support background removal, style transfer, and natural-language-based image editing—unlocking new creative possibilities.
Support for PHP Fibers – Faster Parallel AI Calls
Drupal AI now leverages Fibers for asynchronous operations, enabling multiple AI requests to run in parallel.
This dramatically accelerates processes such as multi-field translation or bulk content enrichment.
Normalized Token Usage – Unified AI Metrics
Token usage data is now possible to standardize across all providers, simplifying cost tracking, reporting, and usage limits for third-party integrations.
Views Automators Type – Automate with Drupal Views
The new Views Automator Type brings Drupal’s powerful Views system into AI workflows.
Automators can now query, analyze, and summarize content on demand—for example:
- Generate sentiment summaries for the most commented articles.
- Write contextual “related content” descriptions dynamically.
- Create weekly editorial quote digests automatically.
New Automator Types – Accessibility, SEO, and Content Enhancement
Three new AI Automators extend Drupal’s automation toolkit:
- Image Alt Text Generator – Improves accessibility automatically.
- Image Filename Rewrite – Boosts SEO by renaming uploaded images contextually.
- Summary Generator – Creates concise summaries for “Text with Summary” fields.
Mocking Library – Faster Development and Testing
A new Mocking Library allows developers to replay AI provider responses locally—saving cost, time, and tokens during development and automated testing.
- Vector Databases Abstracted for Recipes
- Vector database connections are now fully abstracted, making it possible to ship recipes that “just work” regardless of whether you use Milvus, Postgres, or Pinecone—simplifying RAG and knowledge-based applications.
More issues worked on by more contributors from more organisations than any other Drupal AI release
This release is based on over 240+ issues worked on, including over 60 feature issues, with 127 different contributors from 64 different organizations contributing in one way or another.
A huge thanks to everyone who has worked with us on making this release possible. Perfectly timed for celebrating at DrupalCon.
