This strategic move bolsters Adobe's capability to provide businesses with enhanced tools to improve discoverability and conversion, especially as AI interfaces and agents increasingly become the primary methods for customers to find, assess, and interact with brands. The landscape of customer experience orchestration (CXO) is undergoing swift transformation in the age of agentic artificial intelligence, as these agents evolve into essential collaborators capable of expediting intricate workflows and enhancing business outcomes.

Adobe is reshaping CXO through the launch of Adobe CX Enterprise, a comprehensive agentic AI framework equipped with an intelligence and governance layer that encompasses the content supply chain, customer interactions, and brand visibility. Adobe CX Enterprise streamlines the consolidation of data and content from disparate systems, enabling the delivery of large-scale, personalized experiences by employing AI agents adept at orchestrating workflows in alignment with specified objectives.
