Adobe is no stranger when it comes to integrating AI into its software. But now, it looks like Adobe is taking it further with agentic AI. This will allow AI agents, like OpenAI’s Dots, to do things proactively on behalf of users.
Adobe is embracing agentic AI
It should be noted that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Adobe toy with the idea of agentic AI. Earlier this year, Adobe introduced AI assistants into some of its software. This included Photoshop, Premiere, and Illustrator.
So, what’s changing this time around? According to the company, the Adobe Creative Agent will expand its local MCP integrations with more third-party platforms. Speaking to CNET, Shilpa Anand, vice president of global strategic partnerships said, “These new models allow me to actually do things faster, experience the full power of the application and really make it more accessible to a broader set of users who are not experts in our workflow.”
For example, if you’re not too familiar with Adobe’s software, that’s where these agents come in handy. Adobe’s software is incredibly powerful. But at the same time, they’re incredibly complex. It is very daunting for new users who might feel overwhelmed at all the options and tools placed in front of them.
By using agentic AI, users can ask the AI to perform certain tasks for them that they might be unfamiliar with.
Is this the alternative to AI slop?
From what we can tell, Adobe’s use of agentic AI could actually be a happy middle ground when it comes to AI slop. Many artists and graphic designers have expressed their disgust that AI is being used to steal their jobs. Basically with a handful of prompts, companies can create their own images and branding, thus saving them the need of hiring actual artists and designers.
However, Adobe’s agentic AI, like we said, is a middle ground. Users who still want to create their own art and design using Adobe’s software can still do so manually. However, when it comes to certain tasks they’re unfamiliar with, they can dispatch an AI agent who can help them with that.
So in a way, you can think of these agents as little helper bots. Not bots that take over the entire process. At the moment, these new MCP integrations are still in preview.
