Adobe expands Firefly task automation and previews recurring agents
A planning mode lets users review proposed workflows, while a separate agent for Premiere’s mobile app is entering private preview.
Adobe announced expanded automation tools at its Max conference in Miami, including an updated Firefly AI Assistant capable of handling tasks with multiple steps. The company also previewed agents designed to work continuously on recurring assignments.
The assistant’s new planning mode lets users inspect and revise a proposed workflow before authorizing it. Users can choose which model coordinates the work or let Adobe’s software decide. Additional customization settings allow them to specify colors and brand guidelines for the assistant to follow across projects.
In a demonstration shared with Engadget, Adobe showed the assistant being asked to process footage during upload. It proposed organizing files, applying LUTs, cleaning up audio and creating backups, with the user approving the plan. The user subsequently asked it to prepare a social media campaign promoting the project.
Adobe is also introducing an agent for the Premiere mobile app that lets users request edits in natural language. Access will begin with a private preview before expanding more broadly. Separately, the company is testing MCP connections that give chatbots local access to Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects for tasks such as editing layers.
