What is Acquia AI?
Acquia is a Drupal-based cloud digital experience platform — providing managed Drupal hosting, AI personalisation, and enterprise digital experience capabilities for organisations standardised on the open-source Drupal CMS. Vista Equity Partners owns Acquia. AI capabilities include Acquia Personalize (formerly Lift) — ML-powered content personalisation that adapts website and digital experience content to individual visitors based on behaviour, segment membership, and declared preferences. AI Content Hub provides a centralised content repository — managing and distributing content across multiple Drupal and non-Drupal digital properties from one source of truth. Drupal Cloud provides managed infrastructure — security patching, performance optimisation, and cloud hosting for enterprise Drupal deployments without managing Drupal infrastructure. Marketing Cloud adds campaign management — email, SMS, and digital advertising integration alongside the CMS for marketing programme management. Acquia Site Factory manages large-scale multi-site deployments — governments and enterprises managing hundreds of Drupal websites from one platform. Open source foundation provides transparency and flexibility — Drupal's community-maintained codebase accessible and customisable without proprietary lock-in. With US government, higher education, and enterprise adoption, Acquia validates for organisations requiring open-source DXP with enterprise support.
How Acquia AI works
Acquia AI runs as ml platform software built around text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
