Join the AI Initiative: Help Shape the Future of django CMS

Artificial Intelligence, more specifically Generative AI, is transforming how content is created, managed, and delivered. At django CMS, we believe the time is right to explore how Generative AI can empower editors, streamline workflows, and unlock new capabilities within our ecosystem.

We're launching a new community-driven initiative to explore and define how Generative AI can be meaningfully integrated into django CMS. We’re calling on developers, implementers, integrators, and especially stakeholders—organisations actively using django CMS - to join usin shaping this journey.

Phase 1: Discovery and Co-Creation

In this initial phase, our focus is on listening. We're gathering ideas, use cases, and pain points from those who work with django CMS every day. Your insights will directly influence the direction we take and the features we explore.

Why Get Involved?

  • Help define real-world use cases and ensure GenAI features deliver real value.
  • Be among the first to benefit from new capabilities.
  • Collaborate with other experts across the django CMS ecosystem.
  • Influence the roadmap and scope of future GenAI-powered tools.

Who Should Join?

This is a call for:

  • Agencies that are building client sites with django CMS
  • Organisations using django CMS in production
  • CMS power users - webmasters and editors who use the system every day
  • Developers and integrators with ideas or interest in GenAI
  • Open-source contributors looking for a new challenge
  • Anyone passionate about the intersection of CMS and Generative AI

Let’s explore what’s possible, together.

Interested?

  • Join the Discord GenAI workgroup channel.
  • Sign up to be part of the workstream

We’ll set up kickoff sessions and working groups soon.

Let’s build the future of django CMS - smarter, together.
