    Great update! I am mostly interested in the AEM Content Advisor in Adobe Express functionality. I’d also like to see how the AEM Agentic AI performs as far as identifying issues with deployments. Looking forward to these and more updates. Thanks for posting!

    Great update, thanks for sharing.

    The Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service enhancements around quiet hours and update-free periods look particularly useful from an operational standpoint, especially for teams managing frequent deployments.  I’m also curious to see how the Agentic AI improvements in pipeline troubleshooting evolve, as better visibility into the code quality step could really help teams identify issues earlier in the CI/CD pipeline.

    Looking forward to exploring the Content Advisor integration with Adobe Express as well.
