<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>There is a growing need to demonstrate the full production capabilities of the AI Initiatives ecosystem in a concrete, opinionated, and easy-to-consume way. While the AI module and related projects provide powerful building blocks, there is currently no canonical showcase that ties these together into a realistic, production-ready site.</p>
<p>The proposed <em>AI Starterkit</em> will serve as a reference and showcase website built on top of <strong>Drupal CMS 2.0</strong>, featuring the latest stable AI functionality. It should demonstrate real-world use cases such as chatbots, RAG, AI-powered search, editorial input helpers, AI observability, content review, and assisted content generation, alongside other experimental and inspiring ideas.</p>
<p>The site should be easy to get started with locally (via DDEV) but also designed for one-click or near one-click deployments on platforms like DrupalForge and Amazee.io. This issue focuses on research, architectural decisions, and an initial setup to enable future feature work and recipes.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<ul>
<li>Research and set up a dedicated GitHub organization for the AI Starterkit, ensuring the full AI Leadership team are added as admin maintainers.</li>
<li>Create a new repository built on top of Drupal CMS 2.0, and discuss best practices and existing patterns with Phenaproxima before finalizing the approach.</li>
<li>Research and prototype changes to the installer so AI provider setup is part of the initial UI-based getting-started flow.</li>
<li>Ensure the Drush-based installer can fully configure the site automatically when required .env files are present.</li>
<li>Design and create an initial recipe of <code>type: site</code> that represents the AI Starterkit installation.</li>
<li>Decide whether the site recipe should extend the Drupal CMS starter or Byte, and document the reasoning.</li>
<li>Attempt to include <code>ai_recipe_image_classification</code> as a concrete example of a production-ready AI recipe.</li>
<li>Source and add approximately 300 images from Pexels and ensure they are indexed and usable by the image classification recipe. Use the Pexel agent and write a recipe around it.</li>
<li>Take a decision if we should create two site versions - one that works on standard LAMP and one that works with extended features like vector database, unstructured.io, ffmpeg etc.</li>
</ul>
