Adobe’s whole business is the apps creative professionals open every day. This week it put more than 70 of those tools inside a rival’s chatbot. The company has launched a single Adobe plugin for ChatGPT that pulls in Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Express, and its Firefly generative models.
It replaces the handful of separate connectors Adobe shipped late last year through OpenAI’s Apps SDK. Now there is one extension, added from ChatGPT’s settings and summoned by typing @Adobe. It is available worldwide from today.
What it actually does
You describe a task in plain language, and the plugin works out which Adobe tools it needs. Then it runs them behind the scenes. You can apply one style across a batch of product photos, resize a design for different platforms, or turn a spreadsheet into an Acrobat PDF. Hand it a long video, and it can cut a highlight reel and reformat it for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok.
You can use the plugin as a guest. Signing in to a Creative Cloud account unlocks more, including saving work across sessions and generating images with Firefly. Adobe says it runs best inside OpenAI’s Codex app and its recently launched Work suite, Engadget reported. How much you can generate depends on your ChatGPT plan.
