 Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) has introduced powerful new Agentic AI capabilities designed to continuously improve and adapt digital experiences at the speed of AI. By integrating advanced AI orchestrators through Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Model Control Protocol (MCP) tools, AEM enables brands to automate complex workflows and enforce compliance seamlessly across enterprise ecosystems. Through a suite of specialized agents, teams can transition from manual, weeks-long processes into fast, AI-assisted workflows powered by simple natural language prompts.

Here is a breakdown of the key agents driving AEM’s new Agentic capabilities, their value propositions, their guardrails, and their current availability status.

1. Brand Experience Agent

Overview
The Brand Experience Agent accelerates digital modernization through specialized sub-agents—the Experience Modernization Agent, Experience Production Agent, and Experience Development Agent. Together, they automate content updates, migrate websites to cloud-ready formats, and provide AI-assisted technical troubleshooting.
Value Proposition
This agent absorbs the heavy operational workload behind digital modernization. It turns high-effort, high-volume tasks into frictionless workflows, reducing time-to-market for content updates, page creation, and form building without heavy dependency on IT or development teams.
Guardrails & Limitations
  • AI-generated responses and suggested fixes may be inaccurate or misleading and must be double-checked by users.
  • Experience Modernization Agent is only available for AEM Edge Delivery Service, EDS implementation.
  • Experience Production Agent is available for AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM EDS.
Availability Status
While generally available, specific advanced features—namely the Content Create job and the Figma to Visual Content Fragments job—are currently in Limited Availability. If you would like to participate in these limited features, you must send a request from your official email address to [email protected].

2. Content Discovery Agent

Overview
Operating as part of AEM’s Content Advisor Agent, the Content Discovery Agent delivers AEM content on demand via conversational, click-free natural-language prompts. It intelligently searches across AEM Assets, Content Fragments, Sites pages, and Adaptive Forms.
Value Proposition
This agent provides unified, context-aware content discovery that drastically speeds up campaign planning and enhances productivity. By eliminating the need to manually browse folders or build complex metadata queries, it ensures the consistent utilization of approved, high-performing assets across channels.
Guardrails & Limitations
  • Dimension-based search prompts (e.g., “Find images wider than 1080px”) are restricted to image and SVG formats.
  • The “Find Similar” capability is currently limited to images that feature Smart Tags enhancements.
  • AI-generated search responses require human verification for accuracy.
Availability Status
The Content Discovery Agent is accessible in AEM via the AI Assistant. 

3. Content Optimization Agent

Overview
Also functioning under the Content Advisor Agent, the Content Optimization Agent transforms how users refine assets. Using natural language instructions, it builds on the outputs of the Content Discovery Agent to perform complex edits like resizing, cropping, format conversion, and applying graphic overlays.
Value Proposition
It enables effortless, multi-variant asset transformation and high-volume creative enhancement at scale. Marketers can quickly produce renditions optimized for specific platforms (like Instagram Stories) without needing specialized design tools.
Guardrails & Limitations
  • Setting background colours natively is not supported as an optimization action.
  • When generating branded overlays or composites, the overlay placement positions might not be fully accurate.
  • AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate and require user review.
Availability Status
The agent is accessible via the AI Assistant in AEM, provided users meet specific prerequisites: you must have a valid Dynamic Media license, Dynamic Media with OpenAPI must be enabled on your Cloud Service environment, and source assets must be in an “approved” state.

4. Governance Agent

Overview
The Governance Agent is designed to safeguard brand integrity and compliance across AEM. Fully integrated into the AI assistant, it enforces security, regulatory, and brand policies during content creation, editing, and activation.
Value Proposition
By automatically validating content against pre-ingested brand rules (such as typography, tone, and claims), it drastically reduces manual review cycles. It also strictly enforces Digital Rights Management (DRM) and attribute-based permissions, allowing teams to collaborate and distribute content securely without risking regulatory breaches.
Guardrails & Limitations
  • Like all generative AI features, the agent’s compliance responses and suggested fixes may occasionally be inaccurate or misleading, requiring careful double-checking by the user.
Availability Status
The Governance Agent is fully integrated into the AI Assistant and operates in real-time within the chat, editors, and batch mode in Experience Hub.
The introduction of these Agentic AI tools marks a pivotal shift for Adobe Experience Manager, moving the platform from a centralized repository into an active, autonomous partner. As AEM’s agentic ecosystem matures, we can expect a future where operational friction is nearly eliminated. Discovery, creation, optimization, and governance will no longer be siloed workflows, but rather a continuous, conversational loop. Ultimately, these AI agents will empower marketing and development teams to scale personalized, perfectly governed digital experiences faster than ever before.
How to Enable AEM Agents
If you are a client looking to unlock these capabilities, activation is straightforward:
  1. Playground Testing: You can begin exploring AEM Agents directly through the AEM Playground to test their capabilities.
  2. Official Activation: To fully enable these features for your organization, connect with your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Technical Account Manager (TAM) to discuss access via the Agentic SKU.

Steer for a talent transformation strategy (and avoiding AI fatigue)

 There was a debate on whether to feature the term “AI” in the title of this article. Honestly, a key motivation for pursuing the research that led to this post was sparked by the widespread excitement about AI appearing constantly in our LinkedIn feed, to the point of feeling the fatigue, and even a bit disappointed in the algorithm of this, and the others, social media and content curated apps.  We soon discovered that there is an entire concept called "AI fatigue", not exactly how we were feeling it, but more about the mixed emotions people in the workforce have regarding the use of AI tools. Photo by Mart Production via Pexels (background updated with AI and Adobe  tech) From micro blog posts to video podcasts, lately, most of the tech content we encounter revolves around AI. They often sound or read very similar, usually mentioning the same few top providers. The articles (and social posts... at least the popular ones with paid-campaigns behind it) tend to focus less...

Digital Sovereignty in a Polarised World - Data, Cloud Power, and the Search for Trusted Alternatives

 Relationships have deteriorated, with trust diminished to an extent that may preclude restoration. The world, once structured to favour certain regions, has undergone significant shifts; for numerous countries, such advantages never existed. In this polarised reality, stakeholders are re-evaluating alliances, as former partners now often embody the role of "frenemy," thereby threatening freedom. This phenomenon is longstanding, rooted in historical power dynamics. When politics and influence supersede principles of fairness, respect, and integrity, ethical boundaries become blurred. Previously, issues that did not directly affect you would get overlooked out of principle, but current risks necessitate action to safeguard sovereignty. Information has consistently served as a key strategic asset, a trend only intensified by technological advancements that have elevated data as the principal factor. In other words, technology has amplified that, and data is the name of the game...

Building MCP with TypeScript

MCP servers are popular these days. We’ve been researching and exploring a few code repos, some where missing modularity, others just not having pieces that we were looking for… therefore we decided to build our own, simple and foundational that could be a starting point for those trying to solve for the similar things we were… and we decided to share it with the community, via our public github. MCP host, server,data sources     Before we start.  Using Typescript and NodeJS was one of our requirements. This proved somewhat challenging because I don't code as frequently these days due to my leadership responsibilities, and I typically prefer working with C# or Python. Colleagues in my tech community have been working with their teams on some of their MCPs going the Python route. Therefore, I said, “I guess we are trying the other route” 😊. One of our reasons to go with TypeScript was due to the need of the integration with APIs, and based on the research, it seems t...

AI Agents is the new thing to talk about

Tech is evolving faster than ever in this AI era, that it feels every week there is something new to talk about, and what you learn weeks back is no longer relevant, or “that AI tools” already has gone through changes that you need to catch up with in order to stay relevant.  Fear not, embrace the challenges and learnings, and find applications for it that are good and ethical for this present, and the hereafter.  The new “craze” is AI agents, and for good reason!  Image generated with NightCafe In contrast with AI chatbots, an AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf. If you are thinking “ that this could be agents that we leave running independently for many days for a group of deliveries ”… Well then you are correct! Are there risks? Should we talk about trust and accountability? The answer for both is yes. I already hinted at it a couple of paragraphs above, when I wrote “ good and ethical ”. AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents are software that work autonomously,...
