At Drupal Dev Days Leuven, Dries Buytaert experienced a surprising moment that captured the event’s innovative spirit. Marcus Johansson demonstrated a Twilio-powered AI agent that triggered a live phone call directly from the Drupal interface. The unexpected interaction underscored how AI is already being embedded into Drupal in practical and creative ways.

Dries noted the strong presence of AI-related work throughout the event, including modules based on the Model Context Protocol and new approaches to AI-powered search. He highlighted that AI is moving beyond theory into real applications within the Drupal ecosystem.

While leading a community Q&A, Dries also focused on advancing Drupal’s AI strategy, hinting at more detailed updates in the coming weeks. He closed by thanking the event organizers and reflecting on the energy and collaboration that define the Drupal community.
