Many of you have been building on AEM for years - crafting sites that don’t just look great but drive measurable business outcomes. You’ve set the bar high. Now, the landscape is shifting. People are finding answers and getting work done through new, powerful tools - ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and others. The AEM team is committed to making sure this community stays ahead of that curve. That’s why we’ve built LLM Optimizer - a new capability that gives you deep visibility into how generative AI systems (like chatbots and agents) consume and interpret your site’s content. It connects those insights to business outcomes and provides step-by-step guidance to help you capture emerging opportunities. This week, we’re starting to roll out LLM Optimizer for AEM customers on AMS and Cloud Service. You’ll start seeing real data - tracking agentic traffic and surfacing your first set of optimization opportunities. We started this journey just over 100 business days ago, and it’s only the beginning

AI is changing the way experiences are discovered, delivered, and optimized as people increasingly use AI to answer questions and even act on their behalf. As Adobe Experience Manager customers, you’re already building incredible digital experiences. Now, Adobe is helping you take them a step further. We’re excited to introduce five Adobe Experience Platform agents now surfaced directly in Experience Manager. These agents are designed to help your teams accelerate development, automate governance, and optimize content in real time — all while ensuring experiences remain human‑centered, brand‑safe, and discoverable by both people and AI systems.  Why this matters These new agents bring Adobe’s agentic web vision to life by helping you: Move faster with automated experience creation and optimization  Scale safely with built‑in governance and trustworthy guardrails  Improve discoverability for both human audiences and AI agents  Maximize impact by shifting from AI experimentation to measu

The AEM product team has been building something new: Adobe LLM Optimizer In the next few weeks I’m going to share actions for you folks to do, to improve your AEM sites to be more visible in LLMs. My first ask: Check that your pages main text is in the initial HTML (ok to ignore header, nav, footer). LLMs like ChatGPT and Perplexity don’t run JS when they fetch page during the reasoning phase. If the content isn’t there, you won’t get cited at the moment they try link back to your site. 🧰 Test your pages with this Chrome/Comet browser extension → https://llmo.page Questions? - let’s talk here

Over the past decade, brands have invested heavily in SEO, content strategy, and personalization to drive visibility and engagement across digital channels. But the landscape is rapidly shifting. Today, the customer journey increasingly begins not with a traditional search engine, but with an AI assistant. As generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity become go-to tools for information and decision-making, large language models (LLMs) are emerging as the new front door to brand discovery. These systems don’t just index content — they summarize it, interpret it, and recommend it. That means they’re shaping brand perception long before a user visits a website. Yet many brands remain unaware that their content is already being surfaced — or overlooked — by these AI tools. Bain & Company reports that 80% of consumers rely on AI-written summaries for at least 40% of their searches. And Gartner projects that by 2028, brands could see a 50% or greater decline in organic
