1. AI-Powered Innovations in AEM 

Adobe continues to evolve Experience Manager Sites with AI-powered capabilities that enable smarter content creation, optimization, and delivery. 

• AEM Sites Optimizer: This generative AI-based application is built to increase traffic by identifying underperforming areas, recommending optimizations, and implementing improvements with just a click. Using performance monitoring technology and generative AI agents, it tracks site performance and helps marketers improve engagement and traffic through data-backed decisions.
  

  It works through a three-phase “Identify, Suggest, Fix” framework that continuously analyzes traffic patterns, pinpoints issues like low engagement or SEO gaps, and recommends corrective actions.

  Built for marketers and product owners, this tool for AEM sites empowers non-technical users to optimize content performance, SEO health, page speed, and accessibility. It also integrates with Google Merchant Center and Google Search Console, providing a unified dashboard to monitor content insights and product listings.

• Experience Generation: This suite of features and tools streamlines the journey from content creation to delivering winning digital experiences. Powered by generative AI, it uses data on SEO performance, click-through rates, and campaign intent to automate content discovery and selection. AI-powered agents scan multiple repositories to recommend the most relevant content assets. Additionally, marketers can easily find, repurpose, and adapt top-performing content for different channels, regions, and audiences. This accelerates the time-to-market while improving engagement and maintaining brand integrity across touchpoints.
• Experience Catalyst: This innovation converts your existing content into machine-readable embeddings and stores them in a vector database. It helps brands create fast design variations and enhance AI responses with retrieval-augmented generation. It also supports semantic search, remote indexing, and smarter content reuse, without breaking structure or slowing teams down. You can use it for a single page or the complete website.
