Adobe has announced a major upgrade to its enterprise tools with the release of new AI agents inside the Adobe Experience Platform.
These new AI agents are designed to take the heavy lifting out of content operations, audience targeting, and customer journeys. For marketers in regulated industries like insurance, pensions, and wealth management, the timing is significant. These industries want the benefits of AI, but every decision must pass through layers of compliance, audit, and security requirements. Adobe’s approach offers a way to innovate while keeping control and maintaining confidence in your AI innovation journey.
What Adobe’s AI Agents Do
Adobe introduced six core AI agents, each with a specific role. These agents are coordinated by a system called the Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) Agent Orchestrator, which ensures they work together and stay aligned with your business goals.
- Audience Agent – Builds and optimizes customer segments for campaigns.
- Journey Agent – Creates and adjusts customer journeys across channels.
- Experimentation Agent – Analyzes experimentation data to impact and predict conversion or lift.
- Data Insights Agent – Uncovers patterns and forecasts from customer data.
- Site Optimization Agent – Monitors websites and flags performance issues.
- Product Support Agent – Provides troubleshooting, case creation, and tracking directly in user workflows.
Why this matters for regulated industries
For highly regulated industries, innovation often comes with caution. Every new tool or process must meet strict requirements for data protection, audit trails, and compliance. That is why Adobe’s AI release is different from many consumer AI tools.
Adobe built its agents with enterprise standards in mind. They operate inside Adobe’s secured ecosystem, so customer data and business processes remain protected. Every action is trackable, which supports compliance reviews and audit requirements. And because Adobe’s Firefly generative AI is trained on licensed content, companies don’t face the copyright or brand safety issues that come with many public AI tools.
In my opinion, for insurers, pension funds, and wealth management companies, this means AI can be explored and adopted more confidently. These agents can help scale content, improve personalization, and surface insights, all while staying within the boundaries regulators expect.
How marketers should approach this
If you are working in a regulated industry, there are a few practical ways to think about this release.
Start by looking at how your content is currently managed. Are your systems organized, with clear approval and governance processes? If not, it may be difficult to get the most from AI. Adobe’s agents work best when there is already a strong content and data foundation in place.
Think about testing, experiment in small, low-risk areas. Use AI to tag content or personalize non-critical campaigns before rolling it out more broadly. It builds trust with compliance teams and gives your organization time to learn.
Most importantly, success depends on having the right partner. Implementing Adobe’s AI features isn’t just about technology, it requires expertise to ensure your foundation, workflows, and data are optimized before introducing automation. AI agents perform best when your Content Management System (CMS) is structured, your content is tagged consistently, and your governance processes are clear. A partner who understands both the Adobe ecosystem and the compliance realities of regulated industries can help you deploy AI safely, establish strong governance, and scale with confidence.
Adobe’s new AI agents represent a turning point for enterprise marketers. They make it possible to deliver faster, smarter, and more personalized experiences without stepping outside compliance boundaries. For regulated industries, this is a rare chance to innovate at speed while maintaining the guardrails that protect both companies and their customers.
