Adobe announced the changes on Tuesday at its Adobe MAX conference in Miami. The company is turning its Creative Cloud apps into workspaces for AI agents, both its own and those of other companies.

An outside agent would edit files on the user’s computer

MCP is an open standard that lets an AI agent use other programs and services. Through Adobe’s local MCP integration, agents from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, for example, could change project files directly on the user’s computer, The Verge reported. Layers, vectors, media folders and sequences would remain editable, so users could carry on working by hand at any time.

In Adobe’s example, an agent fetches a brief from Google Docs, creates the project in an Adobe app and shares the result in Slack.

The sources describe availability differently. TechCrunch reported that Adobe is releasing a local MCP. The Verge and heise online, however, said the integration is not yet available and that a private beta is planned for early 2027. No release date has been set for the product, heise online reported.

Deepa Subramaniam, a vice president at Adobe, told TechCrunch that the company will initially open a set of functions and expand them based on user feedback. ‘We are still figuring out where and when and how to draw the line,’ Subramaniam said.

Adobe’s own agent shows its plan first

Adobe’s own Creative Agent runs in Firefly AI Assistant. Firefly is Adobe’s AI app for creating images, video and design work. A beta version of the agent has been available in Firefly since April 2026, heise online reported.

In the new Plan Mode, users can review and change the agent’s work plan before it starts. Users can also choose the AI model or leave the choice to the agent. Colours and brand guidelines, for example, can be saved for use across all projects.

In Premiere, the agent can apply an effect to every clip in a sequence and adjust the colour and exposure of the entire sequence, Adobe said. Adobe also showed agents that run continuously in the background; it has not said when they will be released.

Removal tools for images and video

Premiere is getting Generative Remove, a beta tool that removes objects from video: the user selects a boom mic, for example, and Premiere fills the area with generated imagery. Photoshop’s removal tool now does a better job of detecting and fixing the shadows, reflections and footprints linked to the removed object. Open Eyes, in beta in Lightroom, replaces closed eyes with open ones using a reference photo of the same person.

The Quick Actions preset workflows and the editing tools Edit Text, Retouch and Relight are now generally available in Firefly. Firefly Design and Firefly Graph, built for repeatable workflows, are in beta. Firefly Builder, a prototyping tool for websites and apps, is in private beta, with access via a waitlist.
