Description

In this session, we will explore the powerful integration of AI with the Even-Condition-Action (ECA) module to automate and enhance your Drupal workflows. Using AI-powered actions within Drupal, we’ll show how operations like chat, text-to-speech, and other LLM-driven tasks can become integral components of dynamic ECA models. These small AI actions work as part of a larger, context-aware automation system that reacts intelligently to site events.

We'll also introduce a powerful AI agent that can answer questions about existing components and models, as well as facilitate the creation and editing of new ones. This agent serves as a bridge, ensuring that your ECA models are easily accessible and adaptable as your project evolves.

Finally, we’ll dive into the role of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which exposes Drupal’s functionality via LLM tools. With MCP, these tools will eventually be able to trigger ECA models, creating a seamless flow of context-driven automation across your site. This path opens up exciting possibilities for AI-powered workflows that connect data, actions, and tools in a way that’s both flexible and powerful.

Attendees will learn how to combine these components to build intelligent, automated systems within Drupal, empowering them to create adaptive, responsive user experiences that save time and improve site management.
