Overview
- Adobe used its Adobe Max keynote in Miami on Nov. 10–11 to formally expand its AI‑agent strategy by showing named agents — Creative Agent, Productivity Agent and CX Enterprise Coworker — that accept natural‑language, multi‑step instructions across Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects.
- The company previewed an Adobe Creative Cloud MCP interface that Adobe says will allow third‑party language models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to access and modify editable project files locally, with a closed MCP beta planned for early 2027.
- Adobe demonstrated the Creative Agent doing real tasks in apps, for example applying effects and color changes across an entire Premiere Pro sequence and tracking masked subjects across frames, while noting a Firefly beta of agent features has been available since April 2026.
- New native generative editing tools were shown in several apps, including Photoshop Relight and Generative Restyle, Lightroom Glow and Open Eyes (beta), and Premiere Pro Color Mode, Generative Media Tool and Generative Remove (beta).
- Adobe also unveiled Firefly expansions and six experimental 'Sneaks' projects that point to longer‑term automation, and the company acknowledged the MCP plan raises workflow, interoperability and security questions that will affect adoption and timing.
