• Brief description:
  • The AI Schema.org JSON-LD module provides a straightforward way to send a prompt — including a webpage's content and data, along with instructions and requirements — to an AI provider and receive a response containing valid Schema.org JSON-LD for saving and embedding in a webpage. It's a "glue module" that combines AI Automators, Field Widget Actions, and JSON Field to create an AI-powered Schema.org JSON-LD field for content entities.
• Module name/project name:
  • AI Schema.org JSON-LD
• Brief history
  • How old: Created in April 2026 by jrockowitz (Jacob Rockowitz) of The Big Blue House
  • Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha1 (requires Drupal ^11.3); 1.0.x-dev branch also available
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained Yes — updated as recently as April 30, 2026
  • Security coverage No — not currently covered by Drupal's security advisory policy; use at your own risk
  • Test coverage The module notes that all contributed code must include test coverage, though it is early alpha
  • Documentation Yes — the project page includes setup instructions, implementation guidance, philosophy, and a 2-minute demo video on YouTube
  • Number of open issues: 0 open issues, 0 of which are bugs against the current branch
• Usage stats:
  • 1 site currently reporting use of this module
• Module features and usage
  • Adds a native JSON "Schema.org JSON-LD" field to content entities (nodes, media, taxonomy terms)
  • Field is populated via an AI automator triggered by a Field Widget Action, keeping a human in the review loop before saving
  • Stores Schema.org JSON-LD as native JSON data, creating a fully queryable knowledge graph for the site
  • Works with complex nested content structures (paragraphs, components) by having AI parse and generate the structured data
  • Includes an optional sub-module for logging prompts and AI responses for human and AI review and iterative improvement
  • Configurable per entity type/bundle via UI, Drush, or Drupal recipe
  • Philosophy: "Use AI to build a tool that helps AI understand your website while always keeping a human in the loop"
  • Built using AI coding agents (Claude and Codex), with community contributions encouraged — especially around crafting and sharing optimal prompts
