The CMS is unbundling. The DXP is rebundling.

AI makes execution cheap. It makes context, coordination, governance and sovereignty more valuable.

The CMS is being unbundled into a control plane and an execution plane. Follow that logic across the full customer experience and something else becomes visible: the DXP is being rebundled as the shared control plane for an organisation’s digital promise.

From Athens to Rotterdam: Why Drupal AI Needs an "Athena" Release

Some places do not merely offer a view. They give you direction. Athens did that to me. During Drupal Dev Days, I found myself looking at the Acropolis from a distance. The Parthenon was there, standing above the city, glowing with a presence that is difficult to describe if you have not seen it in person.

Drupal Is No Longer Just a CMS Decision. It’s an AI Infrastructure Decision.

Agents need somewhere to live. And once content becomes data, the CMS that holds it becomes strategic.

Becoming the Intelligent Open Digital Experience Company

In the Dropsolid diaries series, I talk in-depth about the journey of Dropsolid company that has Drupal at its core. It contains Drupal insights, company insights, personal experiences, DXP and CMS market insights, and many other learnings I learned as the founder of Dropsolid & Dropsolid AI.

(Note: I usually don't post the Dropsolid Diaries post to the Drupal planet but this time I believe it contains valuable business insights that matter for Drupal.)

Owning the Stack in the AI Decade

A confession: I used to think “lock‑in” was the price of speed. You picked a big suite, signed the contract, and got on with the real work. Then I watched too many teams hit the same wall: costs up, agility down, compliance headaches, mysterious AI we couldn’t inspect, and “exit clauses” that weren’t exits.

In the last few years, especially as AI took center stage, I changed my mind. The stack you own is the only stack that scales with you. That’s why I advocate Mautic inside an open DXP with Drupal and a CDP. It’s not about software tribalism. It’s about strategy.

DEEP: The Post-Platform OS for Intelligent Experience Ecosystems

The digital experience industry is at a crossroads. We’ve spent the past decade evolving from simple CMS websites to full-fledged Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs) that promised to manage every touchpoint. Yet, as we stand in 2025, it’s clear that the next leap forward won’t come from yet another all-in-one platform. It will come from a new philosophy altogether. I call this new paradigm DEEP, or Digital Experience Enablement Platform. At its core, DEEP is about moving from delivering static, vendor-defined platforms to enabling dynamic, intelligent ecosystems.

Speculating about new AI driven devices

I watched the Openai Jony Ive video https://openai.com/sam-and-jony/ and I couldnt help to speculate

Imagine a Guardian Angel Around Your Neck

Picture a beautifully designed, subtle pendant-like device that you effortlessly wear around your neck. This futuristic innovation would become a seamless part of your daily life, quietly observing, learning, and supporting you.

How big is the investment in AI?

1. Estimated Investment from the Long Tail of Tech Companies:

The "long tail" of tech companies, including smaller tech firms, startups, and medium-sized businesses, will likely make significant investments in AI. This includes companies that don’t have the scale of the "Magnificent Seven" but still contribute significantly. There are various ways to estimate this, but considering the breadth of the tech industry, the immense growth in AI investments (even from smaller companies), and the increasing number of AI-first startups, we can assume that the long tail’s investment will be between $200 billion and $300 billion in 2025.
