Expedite Drupal WxT migrations with the power of AI

Описание: Traditional Drupal migrations are time-consuming, require highly technical expertise, and are complex and rigid—especially when handling dynamic web content and evolving site structures. This session introduces a revolutionary AI-driven data migration tool—a custom Drupal 11 module that leverages Azure OpenAI to intelligently extract, transform, and map web content into structured Drupal entities.

In this presentation, we will explore:
• The AI Harvester Module: A flexible, user-friendly migration tool that enables non-developers to configure large-scale data harvesting batches.
• AI-Powered Transformations: How AI dynamically adjusts to different website structures, overcoming the limitations of XPath/CSS/Regex selectors for data extraction and manipulation.
• Pluggable Architecture: A modular design that allows developers to extend functionality with custom data manipulation plugins.
• Ease of migration: A powerful tool that shortens timelines, reduces resource demands, and adapts flexibly to different data sources.

Through real-world examples and technical insights, attendees will learn how this tool enhances Drupal migrations—reducing manual effort, improving data accuracy, and making large migrations into Drupal more scalable and resilient.
