Adobe lets outside AI agents edit Photoshop and Premiere files

At its Max conference Adobe previewed a local connection for Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT, agents that run social posts in the background, and a chat-led planner for campaign teams.

At its Max conference in Miami on Tuesday 10 November 2026, Adobe previewed a local connection, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP, a standard way for AI agents to use other software), through which agents from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI can edit your Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator projects on your own computer, The Verge reports. A private beta opens in early 2027.

The Firefly AI Assistant gains a Model Selector, which picks a model for you or lets you choose, and a Plan Mode, where you approve the agent’s steps before it runs. Adobe also showed agents that keep running on their own; in one example, each new image that arrives becomes promotional graphics for different social channels. Adobe already offers outside models from ByteDance, Kling, Runway and Google, among others, TechCrunch notes. Adobe vice president Deepa Subramaniam told TechCrunch that Adobe is still working out which features the connection will open up.

For campaign teams, GenStudio gets Coworker, a chat assistant that coordinates the agents while marketers steer a campaign from planning to launch, B&T reports. The Brand Intelligence agent can now resize assets for each format.

On our price sheet, checked on 10 November, Firefly Standard costs $9.99 for up to 20 five-second videos, about $0.50 a clip if all 20 are made, and fewer if you pick costlier settings. A Veo 3.1 Fast clip of 4 to 8 seconds works out at $0.40 on Google AI Pro, counting its monthly credits only. Firefly Premium, at $199.99, makes Veo 3.1 Fast and Kling 3.0 unlimited.

Of these previews, only the outside-agent connection has a date, a private beta in early 2027; Adobe gave none for the always-on agents, so a team cannot yet plan its social resizing around them.
