Adobe LLM Optimizer, in detail

Edge delivery for AI bots

Edge delivery serves a parallel, AI-only view of your existing pages to AI crawlers at the CDN — humans and Google/Bing still get the normal site. It’s where Publive AXP Edge is built to win: readable content, a token-light payload, faster responses and AI-only content fixes, all standalone from day one. Most tools here do none of this; a couple offer a limited, bundled or gated version.

Content readability for AI
Partly — detects unreadable client-rendered content and can serve approved fixes to bots, but only on approved URLs and not sold standalone.
Token optimisation at the edge
No stated capability — the edge serves approved content changes, not token-optimised payloads.
Response time (TTFB) for AI bots
Runs at the CDN for approved URLs, but bot TTFB isn’t a stated or tracked metric.
AI-only content fixes
In part — can serve approved optimisations to AI bots on approved URLs, but gated to Adobe customers and not sold standalone.

For agencies

Agencies don’t pick a single tier — they build a portfolio of client workspaces. Publive AXP starts at a 3-workspace minimum (3 × Starter = $297/mo, $99 per client brand), then you add workspaces at will.
