Developing for AEM sites with AI Tools

This article - Developing with AI Tools talks about developing for Edge delivery services using AI coding tools using llms.txt and AGENTS.md files which provide a lot of contexts to the AI about the project they are operating one. Can we have a similar thing that gives similar  starter files for AEM Sites as well?

HI @balaram_rudra ,

In AEM you can try to use Experience manager site optimizer.

Experience Manager Sites Optimizer provides marketers and product owners with a single application that allows them to automate the identification and diagnosis of issues around site traffic acquisition and content engagement while also recommending solutions and providing the ability to directly fix these issues within the application.

It leverages the following framework:

  • Auto-identify: Continuously analyse performance data to anticipate and detect opportunities to optimise the web experience.
  • Auto-suggest: Leverage models trained on Adobe Experience Manager data and content to propose solutions that will substantially improve areas of low performance or conversion.
  • Auto-implement: Implement proposed solutions on behalf of customers with no technical expertise required.

 

You can look into below link for more details:

Hi @tarunkumar ,
Thank you for your response. Optimizer looks like a great tool to enhance the delivery and experience offered by an AEM website. However, I am looking for the starter files for llms.txt and Agents.md. These files help the coding agents with the context like, what AEM is, what the project is all about, what are the besting coding practices for AEM etc., so that they can generate more appropriate code when requested for. The article: Developing with AI Tools does this already but only for Edge delivery services. I am looking for a similar article for AEM sites.

At the moment, there are no official “Developing with AI Tools” starter files (like llms.txt or AGENTS.md) provided specifically for AEM Sites, unlike what exists for Edge Delivery Services. Those files are designed to give AI tools structured project context, but AEM Sites still follows a more traditional architecture, so the same approach doesn’t directly apply yet.

For AEM Sites today, AI usage mainly falls into these areas:

  • Built-in Generative AI features in AEM (such as Generate Variations, content assistance, and personalization)

  • Custom AI integrations using external APIs (OpenAI, Adobe Firefly, etc.) for content generation, tagging, summaries, and automation

  • Using AI tools on the developer side to speed up component, dialog, and Sling Model development, where context is managed manually

So in short, while AEM Sites doesn’t currently have standardized AI context files, developers can still effectively use AI through custom workflows and Adobe’s native GenAI capabilities.

For anyone looking to understand these integrations with practical, real-world examples (especially combining AEM fundamentals with Generative AI concepts), I’ve found structured learning resources helpful—such as those shared here:
