Adobe’s new Firefly AI assistant can use Creative Cloud apps to complete tasks

Last October, Adobe previewed a new assistant “Project Moonlight” moniker which will work for you by tapping various Adobe programs such as Acrobat, Photoshop and Express. The product is now being launched as Firefly AI Assistant.

The Firefly AI assistant will be available in beta in the coming weeks. The company did not specify whether the AI ​​assistant will be purchased separately from Firefly’s credit-based subscription units.

Like other creative tools, Firefly AI Assistant lets you tell it what you want it to do, and it will handle the rest. Adobe says that the assistant can use all the programs like Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Express, Illustrator and its other programs to do the work for you.

Users can control the output from the AI ​​assistant using text annotations as well as buttons and sliders. An agent can display actions, control between actions and programs, and perform actions, but leaves the possibility for users to interrupt at any time.

The assistant will also display controls based on the project you are working on. For example, if you’re editing a photo of a forest scene, the assistant can give you a simple slider to increase or decrease the number of trees and leaves. Adobe says the assistant will learn more about your favorite creations over time and display actions accordingly.

Adobe is also releasing skills, which consist of several steps, for the assistant. The “social media assets” feature, for example, can help you convert images to different platforms by cropping or enlarging, increasing file sizes, and saving output.

Adobe has been working steadily to implement AI-powered assistants PhotoshopExpress, and Acrobat. The company said on Wednesday that it is looking to make these agents work better with other types of major languages.

Some competitors like it Canvas and Picture they are also working on workflows, although Adobe says its strength is to integrate existing and popular tools.

“We have the opportunity with the help of Firefly AI and the experience of the agent to remove the conflicts by learning the great list of tools that we have and bring all the valuable things to our customers in their hands. And it is an opportunity that we have,” Alexandru Costin, vice president of AI and the business of technology, creativity and productivity at Adobe, told TechCrunch.

Adobe is adding new features to the Firefly tool, too. The AI ​​video editor is getting voice reduction, voice and music editing, a color conversion tool, and now it’s integrated with the Adobe library. The company is also adding the Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Omni models to Firefly’s library of third-party AI models.
