The AI Future of Photoshop Is Coming Closer

Adobe’s vision for AI in Photoshop just got closer to reality. Earlier this month, the company teased a future where an AI chatbot could help you edit your photos, and now one of Adobe’s own has shown what that might actually look like. Mike Chambers, a senior director at Adobe, shared a few proof-of-concept demos on X (formerly Twitter), and while he’s clear that this isn’t an official product (yet), the results are impressive.

In one clip, the AI assistant automatically renames all the layers in a Photoshop file—something that would normally take a human a decent chunk of time. In another, the AI jumps between Photoshop and Premiere Pro to build a photography slideshow complete with music.

All of this is lining up with Adobe’s bigger plan for agentic AI—a kind of creative assistant that can understand what you’re working on, suggest edits, and even execute them for you. At Adobe MAX London this week, they’re expected to show off the first version of this new “creative agent” as part of an overhauled Actions panel in Photoshop. Think: context-aware edits, natural language controls, and smart automation that doesn’t get in your way.
