AI-Powered Drupal Digests: How Dries Stays on Top of 600+ Core Changes

​Keeping up with Drupal development is hard. There are hundreds of issue queue changes, deprecations, and new APIs landing every week — and most of us have no idea they happened until something breaks.

​In this session, Drupal project lead Dries Buytaert walks us through drupal-digests https://github.com/dbuytaert/drupal-digests, his personal AI-powered tool for staying current with Drupal development. It uses AI to generate plain-English summaries of notable commits across Drupal Core, Drupal AI, Drupal Canvas, and Drupal CMS — plus automatically extracts Rector rules so deprecated API calls can be fixed automatically rather than by hand.

​We'll dig into how it works, how Dries built it, and what it means for the broader Drupal ecosystem when AI can help surface and explain changes at scale.

​Whether you're a site builder trying to keep your codebase up to date, a contrib developer tracking core changes that might affect your module, or just curious how Drupal's founder is using AI in his own workflow — this one's for you.
