Overview
- Adobe unveiled the conversational Firefly AI Assistant on Wednesday, saying it will run multi-step tasks across Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Illustrator, Express and more from one chat interface.
- The assistant enters a public beta in the coming weeks with live demos planned at Adobe Summit from April 19 to 22.
- Pre-built and customizable Creative Skills let users trigger complex workflows, the system learns style and tool preferences over time, and results carry into native, editable files with Frame.io handling review and auto-applied changes.
- New Firefly features available now include Enhance Speech and color controls in the Video Editor, Adobe Stock access inside workflows, and image tools like Precision Flow and AI Markup, plus access to 30+ partner models such as Kling 3.0 and Google’s latest offerings.
- Adobe notes a current limit where Precision Flow’s semantic edits arrive in Photoshop as a rasterized image, with deeper Photoshop integration to follow, as the company positions the agent to lower the learning curve for newcomers and speed routine work for pros.
