Adobe Plans to Work with Your AI Tools

Adobe plans to let people choose AI tools for its creative apps. It shared this plan at Adobe MAX 2026 in Miami Beach. The apps include Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects. People will be able to connect their chosen AI agent. An agent is an AI tool that can carry out tasks.

Adobe plans to connect these tools through a system called MCP. This system helps an AI tool work with other software. The agent will work on the files inside Adobe's apps. People can still open those files and change individual parts. They can take over when they want to improve the work. The first private tests will start in early 2027.

The company also showed changes to its photo and video tools. In Photoshop, people can change light after taking a photo. They can also turn text in a picture into editable text. This means they can change the words inside the app. Premiere has an AI helper for organising video projects. It can also help bring together recordings from several cameras.

Adobe says people should decide what they want to make. AI tools can then help with work that they do repeatedly. The company is also improving precise editing tools for other users. The new connections are still a plan for early testing. But the aim is clear across the announcements at this event. Adobe wants AI help and human editing to work together.
