• 🧠 Built on Adobe’s creative intelligence

• 🏢 Enterprise tools for on-brand content at scale

• 🚀 Expanding developer ecosystem for add-ons and integrations

• What: Launch of the new AI Assistant (beta) in Adobe Express

• When: Announced at Adobe MAX 2025

• Where: Los Angeles, California 🌴

• Why: To make creativity more accessible, fast, and conversational — for everyone, not just designers

Ever been stuck staring at a blank canvas, wishing your design could just read your mind?

Adobe must’ve been listening because it just introduced a tool that feels exactly like that moment when your ideas start designing themselves.

At Adobe MAX 2025, the company unveiled the AI Assistant (beta) — a conversational co-creator built into Adobe Express.

Instead of scrolling through endless templates, you just type what you want:

And poof 🌺 — your mountain scene transforms into lush foliage, vibrant colors, and matching fonts.

This isn’t design magic — it’s design intelligence.

The AI Assistant understands context, semantics, and style.

It doesn’t just automate — it collaborates.

You can:

• 💬 Describe your vision in plain language

• 🎨 Switch to manual controls like sliders and color pickers

• ⚡️ Edit fonts, layers, or backgrounds — without breaking your creative flow

Think of it as having an art director, designer, and intern — all rolled into one friendly chat window.

Govind Balakrishnan, Adobe Express SVP, says it best:

That’s the goal — making creative expression feel as natural as conversation.

Whether you’re a startup founder or a marketing intern, Adobe’s AI Assistant lets you bring your vision to life without ever touching a design tutorial.

For large organizations, this goes way beyond “cool tech.”

The AI Assistant enables template locking, batch creation, and approval workflows, giving teams the power to produce on-brand content faster than ever.

Industry leaders are already calling it a game-changer:

• 🧩 Workday says it lets non-designers make professional visuals “just by describing what they want.”

• 🎯 Dentsu praises its ability to keep everything on-brand while saving time.

• ⚡ Lumen says it’s “unlocking creativity for marketers who think in words, not visuals.”

🧰 Built for Developers Too

Adobe’s new Dev MCP Server for Adobe Express Add-ons lets developers build new conversational features right into the platform.

In short: you can now teach Adobe’s AI new tricks — from unique commands to personalized integrations.

Innovation meets imagination 🔧💭

Adobe’s vision is simple: make creativity universal.

According to a global survey of 16,000 creators:

• 💡 81% used generative AI to make content they couldn’t have before.

• 🚀 70% are excited about how agentic AI will take creativity further.

AI isn’t replacing creatives — it’s amplifying them.

Think of it as adding a jetpack to your imagination.

You don’t have to be a designer to start creating standout content. Here’s how you can ride this creative wave 👇

Actionable Playbook:

✅ Start small: Log into Adobe Express and play with the AI Assistant beta — describe your next social post and see the magic unfold.

✅ Experiment freely: Try prompts like “make this modern,” “add a minimalist touch,” or “turn this into a video.” You’ll be surprised how accurate the results are.

✅ For teams: Use the upcoming enterprise features to set templates and brand controls for consistency across your organization.

✅ For developers: Explore the Dev MCP Server and experiment with creating your own conversational add-ons.

✅ For creators: Think of AI as your co-pilot, not your competitor. Use it to speed up workflows and focus on storytelling, not tool mastery.
