With the launch of a new integration this week, Adobe is making more than 70 Creative Cloud applications available in Slack, promising to bring generative AI (genAI) document creation closer to team conversations.
The Adobe MCP (model context protocol) integration allows Slack users to access, edit, and create new documents from Adobe creative and productivity tools without switching apps. This includes Photoshop, Premiere, InDesign, Lightroom, and others.
The integration should help “improve efficiency and speed of content creation,” said Irwin Lazar, principal analyst at Metrigy. “We have consistently found in our research that companies want to use their team collaboration apps, like Slack, as work hubs.”
To access the integration, users interact with Slackbot — Slack’s AI “teammate” — via natural language prompts.
Adobe outlined several use cases in a blog post Wednesday. It’s possible to turn “project plans and conversations” in Slack into “PDFs, images and videos you can share with your team in Slack,” and turn speadsheet data into a “PDF or visual you can share with your team or client.”
