Adobe Previews Third-Party AI Agents Operating Creative Cloud Tools

Shenchao TechFlow reports that on November 10, according to The Verge, Adobe previewed Creative Cloud local Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration at its Max conference, enabling third-party AI agents such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to directly modify local project files in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects. The feature is not yet available, with private testing planned for early 2027.

Adobe also previewed agents that can continuously perform repetitive background tasks such as asset organization and quality checks; users can review their plans and approve final results, while the specific launch date has not been announced. The Firefly AI Assistant beta added features including plan mode, a model selector, and Firefly Boards integration.
