Adobe has a fascinating new product in LLM Optimizer, which promises to address a whole new category of use-case in optimizing for LLM searches or "GEO - Generative Engine Optimization" as marketing likes to call it. The real questions though: does it work? Do you need it? We put LLM Optimizer to the test on our own site with some interesting experiments, to see if it might help with problems faced by usual AEM & Edge Delivery Services implementations. Arbory Digital's Hank Thobe is joined by EDS Developer and Designer Extraordinaire Frank Townsend, as well as 2X AEM Champion Tad Reeves to discuss whether or not you should be giving Adobe LLMO a serious look.
Marathon but WORTH YOUR TIME.

How much do you know about AEM Forms? The entire purpose of SO MANY websites boils down to a successful form experience, and yet all too often it’s only the visual impact of the site that gets all the attention, not the core experience and plumbing that constitutes the business case for the site’s whole existence. This episode dives DEEP into AEM Forms, and what you should know about architecture of a great Forms experience.
This is an episode MANY of you have been waiting for. We’re joined today by Sean Archibeque, software architect and veteran on projects for Adobe working on Edge Delivery Services since its very beginnings, as well as legacy AEM projects.

Is this technology a harbinger of the next-generation of AEM projects? Should your next big implementation use Document Authoring or Edge Delivery, or should it use a traditional AEM backend? Principal Architects Tad Reeves & Bryce Acer have a combined 30+ years in the AEM field & discuss the DA toolchain and how it may affect what your next AEM environment might look like.

Speakers: Tad Reeves & Brandon Langill What is Adobe’s new Edge Delivery Services, how does it relate to AEM, and how does it change the architecture and the economics of launching a best-of-class site for your enterprise? There has been a wide gap, in the past, between the entry-level tech for small business sites and the “enterprise-class” tech like AEM, Acquia, Optimizely or Sitecore. How does Adobe’s new tech change the math on this?
