AI Essentials Toolkit: AI capabilities in every Umbraco project – from day one

Schedule a consultation

With Umbraco.AI Umbraco recently released the official foundation for AI-supported workflows in the back office—open, modular, and connected to all major AI providers. This allows content to be created, structured, and processed more intelligently, directly within the CMS.

At Cyber-Solutions, we didn't wait long: With the AI Essentials Toolkit, we offer a preconfigured set of Umbraco packages based on Umbraco.AI that makes AI functions available right from the start of your project. No manual searching for individual packages, no tedious setup—the essential AI functions are installed, configured, and ready to use.

What's more, all customers who implement an Umbraco project with us receive the AI Essentials Toolkit free of charge as part of the solution.

Why a toolkit instead of individual configuration?

Umbraco.AI has a deliberately modular structure. This means maximum flexibility—but also that companies must first identify, install, and coordinate the right packages. Selecting the AI provider, configuring governance rules, and coordinating prompt functions and agent actions all require experience and time before a team can work productively with AI in the CMS.

The AI Essentials Toolkit removes precisely this initial hurdle. Instead of starting a project with a blank Umbraco installation and adding AI functions later, we provide an environment in which the core AI packages are already integrated. The project team—whether editors, marketing managers, or developers—can work with AI support from day one.

What's included in the AI Essentials Toolkit?

The toolkit consists of pre-installed NuGet packages that activate AI functions within Umbraco. Based on Umbraco.AI, the packages are compiled and configured so that they work immediately in the project context.

Essentially, this means that the infrastructure for AI-supported content creation, text suggestions, analyses, and editorial support is already in place without the project team having to deal with the technical setup. Which specific functions are used depends on the respective project and its requirements—the toolkit forms the basis on which targeted enhancements can be made.

Umbraco as an AI platform – the AI Essentials Toolkit from Cyber-Solutions in conjunction with Umbraco.AI and the Umbraco CMS

Free choice of AI provider

One aspect that is particularly important to us is that the toolkit does not tie companies to a specific AI provider. Umbraco.AI supports multiple providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, and Microsoft AI Foundry. As part of the project, a joint decision is made on which provider and which model to use. It is possible to switch providers at any time without affecting existing workflows.

The costs for using AI are incurred directly by the respective provider. There are no hidden surcharges and no intermediate layers that make it difficult to keep track of everything.

Control and governance from the outset

AI in a corporate context only works with clear rules. Umbraco.AI provides a governance framework that regulates how AI functions are allowed to behave: which actions are permitted, the tone in which texts are generated, and which data is transmitted to external services.

These rules are defined from the outset in the AI Essentials Toolkit. Editors work within a controlled framework, and AI-generated content always undergoes human approval. This means that control over content and brand communication remains with the company—not with an algorithm.

Who is the toolkit intended for?

The AI Essentials Toolkit is aimed at companies that work with Umbraco or are planning a new Umbraco project and want to take a pragmatic approach to getting started with AI-supported content workflows.

For marketing managers and editors, this means AI support for their daily work in the CMS without having to resort to external tools. For technical decision-makers, it means a clean setup on an officially supported basis that can evolve with the project.

What happens next?

Umbraco.AI is actively evolving. The roadmap includes advanced agent capabilities, a Copilot interface for contextual back-office support, and AI testing and evaluation tools that enable teams to systematically compare different models and prompts. The AI Essentials Toolkit will incorporate these developments and make them available in future project iterations.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Cyber-Solutions' AI Essentials Toolkit has been expanded to include three key features: setting focal points for images, AI-powered alt text generation, and an intelligent translation function including a dashboard and glossary. These features are available exclusively to Cyber-Solutions customers as part of a project with us and enhance existing Umbraco installations with powerful AI workflows.

The focal point function allows you to define the visual center of an image. This ensures that central image content is not cropped in responsive layouts, such as on smartphones or tablets. This significantly improves visual quality and user experience, especially for hero images, banners, or teasers.

Yes. The media area has its own dashboard that lists all media for which no focal point has yet been defined. From there, editors can go directly to the relevant files and quickly set the focal point. This saves time and ensures consistent image display across the entire website.

The integrated AI analyzes image content and creates contextually relevant, semantically meaningful alt texts. These can be checked and adopted. This improves the accessibility of the website and at the same time strengthens search engine optimization, as search engines and AI systems can better interpret image content.

Alt texts provide structured information about image content. They are a relevant ranking factor in SEO and also increase readability for AI systems in terms of generative engine optimization. Companies benefit from better search engine visibility and higher relevance in AI-supported response systems.

There is also a central media dashboard for this. It clearly shows which media files do not yet have alt text or need to be optimized. This allows SEO gaps to be systematically identified and closed.

A dedicated translation dashboard is available in the content area. Missing translations are clearly displayed there for each language. Those responsible can immediately see which pages or content have not yet been fully localized.

Yes. Translations can be carried out directly in the content tree, including all subpages. This allows entire content structures to be efficiently transferred into other languages. Alternatively, individual pages or specific text fields can be translated selectively.

A glossary can be stored in the AI Essentials Toolkit. This ensures that defined terms, product names, or brand-specific phrases are translated consistently. This is particularly important for companies operating internationally, as it helps them maintain brand identity and terminology across all language versions.

The three new functions are available exclusively to Cyber-Solutions customers as part of a joint project. They are individually integrated into existing or new Umbraco projects and tailored to the respective system architecture.
