According to Adobe, the expanded AI Assistant in Firefly brings together tools from across Creative Cloud through a conversational interface. New capabilities include automated brand kit creation based on style and color preferences, tools that transform product photos into short-form videos, automated video rough cuts assembled from existing footage, and storyboard generation that can be used to create video content.
Adobe also introduced customization features aimed at improving how the assistant interprets user intent and manages creative assets. The company said the system can surface assets through natural-language descriptions, adapt to creator preferences over time and support collaborative review and feedback directly within Firefly.
Alongside the new AI tools, Adobe previewed an upgraded Firefly creative AI studio experience, currently in private beta. The update is designed to provide persistent project context and asset management across creative workflows. New features include Elements, which allows creators to save and reuse characters, objects and locations across projects, and Projects, which organizes assets and creative work across Firefly and Creative Cloud applications.
The company cited findings from its Creators’ Toolkit Report, noting that creative AI has become increasingly embedded in creator workflows while many creators still want final creative decisions to remain under their control.
Adobe is also extending its AI Assistant to several Creative Cloud applications through public beta releases. In Premiere, the assistant can help organize project assets, rename clips, identify interview segments, place markers and assemble initial edits. Photoshop users can describe tasks such as background replacement, asset resizing and layer organization, with the assistant applying changes across a composition.
Within Illustrator, Adobe said the assistant can support production-oriented tasks such as generating multiple file variations, reorganizing document layers and identifying issues before print production. InDesign users can apply brand updates across layouts, while Frame.io users can use the assistant to organize assets, surface feedback and generate B-roll within projects.
Adobe said AI Assistant is also available in private beta for After Effects and that the company is working to expand agent-driven functionality to additional photography, video and motion design workflows.
The latest AI Assistant capabilities in Firefly beta are available through the Firefly web app. Adobe said the upgraded Firefly creative AI studio experience, including Elements and Projects, is available through a private beta waitlist. AI Assistant is currently offered in public beta for Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Frame.io, while the After Effects version remains in private beta.
“Adobe has always been at the center of how the best creative work comes to life, and this is a major expansion of that promise,” said David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s Creativity & Productivity business. “Every creative now has an agent capable of helping them execute across every app and platform where they work so they can set the vision, apply their taste and make the calls that only they can.”
