## AEM Guides

[AEM Guides](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-guides) is Adobe's enterprise-grade component content management system (CCMS) built on AEM. It enables structured authoring using the DITA standard, supports multi-channel publishing, and provides robust version control and translation workflows for technical documentation teams.

Gradial's AI agents integrate with AEM Guides to automate content creation, updates, translation tasks, and quality assurance across your DITA-based content libraries. Authentication follows the same model as your underlying AEM environment — OAuth 2.0 for AEM 6.5 deployments, or Adobe IMS for AEM Cloud deployments.

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="AEM Guides" icon="book-open">

## AEM Edge Delivery Services

[AEM Edge Delivery Services](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/edge-delivery/overview) is Adobe's composable approach to building fast, high-impact web experiences. Edge Delivery decouples authoring from delivery, allowing content teams to author in familiar tools (Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or AEM) while serving pages from the edge for maximum performance.

Gradial's AI agents integrate with Edge Delivery Services environments to automate content creation, updates, and quality assurance across your Edge Delivery projects. Authentication uses Adobe IMS, the same as AEM as a Cloud Service — you will need a technical account scoped to your Edge Delivery project.

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="AEM Edge Delivery Services" icon="bolt">
    Connect Gradial to AEM Edge Delivery Services for AI-powered content automation on high-performance edge-delivered experiences. Requires an active AEM as a Cloud Service subscription with Edge Delivery Services enabled and a GitHub-backed Edge Delivery project.
