Adobe on November 10, 2026 announced, at Adobe MAX in Miami Beach, that it is extending its Creative Agent across Creative Cloud. The agent takes on multi-step tasks while the user keeps creative control. Adobe says it is now in beta in Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and Frame.io, and Photoshop's AI Assistant is available in the Photoshop beta app.
In Premiere, the agent can now apply effects across every clip in a sequence, track masked subjects through a frame, and adjust color and exposure across a whole sequence at once.
Adobe also previewed local MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations for Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects. They let users' "preferred third-party agents" edit native project files on the user's own computer. Layers, vectors, bins and sequences stay editable, and the user can step in at any point. Adobe gives Google Drive and Slack as examples of other MCP-capable tools an agent could use in the same workflow. The integrations will be available in private beta in early 2027.
Adobe says a set of new Creative Cloud features is generally available now. They include Relight and Generative Restyle in Photoshop, Color Mode, Enhance Audio and Separate Crosstalk in Premiere, Glow and Blemish Removal in Lightroom, and Flex Layout in InDesign. InDesign Co-editing, Premiere Generative Remove, Firefly Design and Firefly Graph are in beta, and Firefly Builder is in private beta. Adobe did not announce new prices and says Firefly Design is included with Creative Cloud.
For developers building agents, the MCP preview matters most. Adobe's professional apps would become tools that outside agents can operate directly on local files, rather than only through Adobe's own assistant.
