AI CKEditor

AI CKEditor integration adds a set of CKEditor 5 plugins that let content editors send the text they are working on to an LLM and act on the result, from translating and summarizing to fixing spelling, adjusting tone, and completing text. Editors reach the actions from a toolbar button or from a contextual balloon menu that appears when they select text.

Moved out of AI core

This integration used to ship inside the AI (Artificial Intelligence) module on the 1.4.x branch. It now lives in its own project, and development continues here.

Features

Each action is a separate plugin you enable per text format, so you decide which AI tools appear in a given editor.

Completion

Generate new text from a prompt and insert it at the cursor.

Modify with prompt

Select text and give a free-form instruction to rewrite it.

Tone

Rewrite the selection in a different tone, such as formal or friendly.

Translate

Translate the selected text into another language.

Summarize

Produce a shorter version of the selected content.

Spell fix

Correct spelling and grammar in the selection.

Reformat HTML cleans up the markup of the selected content, and a built-in Help plugin documents the available actions inside the editor.

Contextual balloon menu

Select text in the editor and a menu appears next to the selection with the AI actions you have enabled. The same plugins are available from the toolbar button and the balloon menu, so editors can work without leaving their place in the text.

Installation

• Install with Composer: composer require drupal/ai_ckeditor
• Enable the module.
• Edit a text format at Administration > Configuration > Content authoring > Text formats and editors.
• Drag the AI Tools button into the CKEditor 5 toolbar.
• Choose which AI plugins to enable, and select an AI provider and model for each one.
• Adjust the prompt for any plugin if you want; each ships with a sensible default.

Upgrading from the AI 1.4.x submodule

If you were using this integration as part of the AI module, upgrade the AI module to 1.5.0 and run the database updates (drush updb or /update.php). The update switches you over to this standalone module and keeps your existing configuration.

Set up a provider first

The AI actions call whichever provider you configure, so install and configure at least one AI provider module (for example OpenAI) before enabling the plugins.
