Adobe AI Assistants: A New Way to Talk to Design Tools
AI Assistants are changing how you interact with your Adobe tools. Instead of digging through menus and panels or memorizing complex workflows, you can now describe what you want in your own words. AI Assistants can execute multistep workflows, and together you can refine the results through a natural language conversation.
Join Howard Pinsky for a practical look at workflows in Adobe Firefly, Express, and Photoshop that leverage AI Assistants. This session will help you make sense of what that means for real-world creative work.
Learn how conversational creative tools can help you brainstorm ideas, refine designs, automate repetitive tasks, and move faster without giving up creative control. Howard will demonstrate approachable workflows that support the way designers already think and work. Discover how AI Assistants can help you stay focused on creative direction instead of technical steps.
You will learn how to:
- Use conversational prompts to guide creative workflows across Adobe tools
- Move between prompting and hands-on editing for greater creative control
- Speed up repetitive production tasks while staying focused on design decisions
- Build practical workflows that feel approachable and useful, not overwhelming
