At its MAX 2026 conference, Adobe announced a major update to Creative Cloud, turning its tools into agentic workflows. The centerpiece is an expanded Adobe Creative Agent, an AI assistant integrated into flagship apps, including Illustrator, Premiere Pro, InDesign and After Effects.

Adobe says users can delegate time-consuming processes and focus on their creative vision while retaining full control over the output. [3, 4]
The company also previewed a system that will let third-party AI agents work directly within native Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere project files, signaling a more open approach to AI integration. [2, 4]
