  • AI Auto-reference works with any reference fields, so it could find suitable taxonomy terms, nodes, etc
  • It does that by rendering a specified view mode, so it should with any kind of complex layout approach you may have implemented on your site
  • It will also automatically shorten your content to fit within your AI model’s token window, which you can also configure
  • The module extends Drupal’s main AI module, which means you can select which model to use, and probably means you can also use guardrails, and all the other powerful features that come with that ecosystem
  • Ai Auto-reference comes with default prompts, but you can also edit those if you really want to make sure you’re squeezing out every drop of relevance
  • You can also choose for which fields in each content type you want to generate suggestions, as well as whether you want the suggestions should be automatically applied, or whether you want them manually reviewed
  • As mentioned on the project page, you can already have AI suggest things like tags using the AI module without this project, but this may be a better choice if you want to make sure the recommendations stick to an existing set
