Every AEM content team is being asked the same question in 2026: can we generate images with AI? Adobe Firefly answers it with commercially safe output trained exclusively on licensed Adobe Stock, with Adobe indemnification on every generated image. This guide shows how to wire Firefly directly into your AEM workflow via App Builder: a Sidekick panel for authors to submit briefs, parallel variant generation across web, email, social and paid channels, an AEM Assets review and approval workflow with automated compliance checking, bulk campaign mode that produces 16 images in 8 seconds, and Edge Delivery publishing that keeps your Lighthouse score at 100. Brief to approved image in under two hours.
