Adobe previews AI agents that can edit Creative Cloud projects
At Adobe Max in Miami, Adobe previewed tools that would let third-party AI agents make changes directly to Creative Cloud projects, while keeping the work editable by people. The company also showed an AI assistant upgrade and agents designed to run recurring tasks in the background.
The planned local Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations would let users choose between Adobe’s assistants and outside agents from providers including OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. Those agents could work in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects, editing native project files on the user’s computer.
Users could take over at any point to refine the output: layers, vectors, bins and sequences would remain editable. MCP-capable tools could also be linked in a wider workflow—for example, an agent could retrieve reference documents from Google Docs, build a project in Adobe software and share the result through Slack.
The Creative Cloud integrations are not available yet. Adobe said a private beta is planned for early 2027. The company also previewed “always-on” agents that can carry out recurring tasks continuously in the background, leaving users free to work on other things or step away from their computers.
