Stephen is bullish on keeping things simple – not simplistic. His goal is to maximize the return on investment and minimize the overhead in maintaining the stack for the long term. Stephen has been working with the web for over 30 years. He was initially drawn to the magic of using code to create web art, added in his love for relational databases, and has spent his career building websites with an unwavering commitment to structured content. When Stephen isn't at his desk, he's often running to and swimming in Barton Springs Pool, getting a bit too wound-up at Austin FC games, and playing Legos with his little one. Karen Horrocks Karen (she/her, karen11 on drupal.org and Drupal Slack) is a Web and Database Developer for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research. Karen began her career as a government contractor at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center developing websites to distribute satellite data to the public. She moved to the nonprofit world when the Physicians Committee, an organization that she supports and follows, posted a job opening for a web developer. She has worked at the Physicians Committee for over 10 years creating websites that provide our members with the information and tools to move to a plant-based diet. Karen is a co-moderator of NTEN's Nonprofit Drupal Community. She spoke on a panel at the 2019 Nonprofit Summit at DrupalCon Seattle and is helping to organize the 2026 Nonprofit Summit at DrupalCon Chicago.

    Talking Drupal #540 - Acquia Source
    Feb 16 2026
    Today we are talking about Acquia's Fully managed Drupal SaaS Acquia Source, What you can do with it, and how it could change your organization with guest Matthew Grasmick. We'll also cover AI Single Page Importer as our module of the week.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: AI Single Page Importer Brief history How old: created in Jan 2026 by Mark Conroy (markconroy) who listeners may know from his work on the LocalGov distribution and install profileVersions available: 1.0.0-alpha3, which works with Drupal core 10 or 11 Maintainership Actively maintainedDocumentation - pretty extensive README, which is also currently in use as the project pageNo issues yet Usage stats: 2 sites Module features and usage With this module enabled, you'll have a new "AI Content Import" section at the top of the node creation form. In there you can provide the URL of the existing page to use, and then click "Import Content with AI". That will trigger a process where OpenAI will ingest and analyze the existing page. It will extract values to populate your node fields, and then you can review or change those values before saving the node.In the configuration you can specify the AI model to use, a maximum content length, an HTTP request timeout value, which content types should have the importer available, and then also prevent abuse by specifying blocked domains, a flood limit, and a flood window. You will also need to grant a new permission to use the importer for any user roles that should have access.The module also includes a number of safeguards. For example, it will only accept URLs using HTTP or HTTPS protocols, private IP ranges are blocked, and by default it will only allow 5 requests per user per hour. It will perform HTML purification for long text fields, and strip tags for short text fields. In addition, it removes dangerous attributes like onclick or inline javascript, and generates CKEditor-compatible output.It currently supports a list of field types that include text_long, text_with_summary, string, text, datetime, daterange, timestamps and link fields. It also supports entity reference fields, but only for taxonomy terms.Listeners may also be aware of the Unstructured module which does some similar things, but requires you to use an Unstructured service or run a server using their software. So I would say that AI Single Page Importer is perhaps a little more narrow in scope but works with an OpenAI account instead of requiring the less commonly used Unstructured.
