Built directly into content workflows, AI agents execute, optimize and continuously improve digital experiences, helping teams publish faster, scale consistently and reduce manual effort
BURLINGTON, Mass., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS), an AI infrastructure software leader, today announced powerful agentic AI capabilities in Progress® Sitefinity® Generative CMS, empowering organizations to streamline content operations, accelerate digital experience delivery and unlock greater productivity, consistency and control.
Today’s digital experiences require more than engagement. They require trusted, high-quality content that performs across search, AI-driven discovery and personalized journeys. Yet delivering and maintaining that content at scale remains a persistent challenge for many organizations, often constrained by manual workflows, fragmented tools and limited resources.
Unlike AI assistants that sit outside of the publishing process, Sitefinity AI agents operate within it, turning content workflows into intelligent, adaptive systems. Marketers move from managing processes to accelerating outcomes. Instead of relying on disconnected tools or manual steps, agents execute key tasks, such as optimization, review and analysis within the content lifecycle itself. This reduces bottlenecks, shortens production cycles and helps editors deliver every piece of content with greater consistency, quality and performance.
“Abu Dhabi University is laying the foundation for a digital‑ and AI‑first future, positioning itself as a regional benchmark for AI‑driven higher education. With the acquisition of the Sitefinity platform and its generative AI capabilities, the university is setting the stage for intelligent, personalized digital experiences that will redefine content marketing and engagement across its community,” said Tarek El Araby, Group Director of IT and Digital Transformation, Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates.
