On November 30, 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT was launched, the first major generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. It literally blew our minds from the very first moment despite its hallucinations and AI generated images of people with 6 fingers. A lot has happened since then, AI has improved greatly and it has also begun to be perfectly integrated into most CMS.
From CMS MAG we continue to follow this major phenomenon very closely, one that promises to change not only web content management systems (CMS), but society as a whole and the labor market overall.
In general, it can be said that AI is both a problem and a solution in many respects. On the one hand, big tech companies are using AI to stop sending traffic to digital newspapers and brands and keep the whole Internet pie for themselves. On the other, it is a solution because in the case at hand, for example, CMS, a great deal of efficiency can be gained if it is integrated correctly.
Before reviewing the best CMS with AI included in the private sector, the major open source CMS deserve a special mention. Although Joomla is also making progress in this regard, Drupal and WordPress are clearly the ones that have advanced the most with integration into their AI core, plugins and extensions.
The most common uses of AI in CMS are the following: Image generation, text generation, SEO metadata filling and SEO traffic lights, automatic translation, generation of headline proposals, rewrites or content merging, news personalization, content classification (taxonomy), automatic abstracts and summaries, support for content distribution on social media, text correction with style, image framing with AI, proprietary bots or GPTs, automatic print layout with AI, content moderation with AI, paywalls with AI, audio and video generation from text, support for interviews, etc.
Today, top tier CMS such as Glide, Arc XP, WordPress VIP and many others have the vast majority of all these services, but these features are also reflected in the price.
Practically every CMS says it has advanced AI features, but not all of them have it perfectly implemented and even a few greatly oversell it, so caution is needed. This is why it is good to attend events such as Ainnovación 2026, where the best CMS present their offerings, or to contact CMS MAG directly to obtain independent advice.
