Adobe Launches AI Assistants for Express and Photoshop

Why It Matters

The rollout deepens AI‑driven workflow automation across Adobe’s flagship creative suite, boosting productivity for designers and reinforcing Adobe’s leadership in generative‑AI tools while fostering broader ecosystem partnerships.

Summary

Adobe unveiled AI assistants for its Creative Cloud apps Express and Photoshop, with Express offering a toggleable mode that generates images and designs from text prompts, and Photoshop’s closed‑beta sidebar assistant capable of understanding layers, auto‑selecting objects, creating masks and automating repetitive edits. The company also introduced “Project Moonlight,” a private‑beta assistant that can coordinate across Adobe tools and sync with creators’ social channels, and is testing integration of Adobe Express with ChatGPT via OpenAI’s API. Additionally, Adobe added support for third‑party generative‑fill models like Google Gemini 2.5 Flash and Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.1 Kontext in Photoshop, and an AI‑powered object‑mask feature in Premiere Pro.
