From asking to doing: How the world is putting ChatGPT to work

Adobe has streamlined its creative ecosystem by integrating 70 of its tools into a single ChatGPT plugin. This unified plugin covers Adobe products such as Photoshop, Premiere, Firefly, and Lightroom. Users can now describe their desired outcome and let the ChatGPT plugin determine the appropriate Adobe tools to fulfill the request.

For instance, users can create a consistent visual style across product photos or transform a single image into a packaging mockup without switching between different applications. The plugin also benefits document and design work by providing thousands of templates and enabling users to animate results for social media or export them as print-ready PDFs.

However, Adobe clarifies that the ChatGPT plugin is not meant to replace the full capabilities of their apps, as it may not produce pixel-perfect results for complex creative designs or advanced video editing tasks. OpenAI aims to keep users within the ChatGPT environment, even when they require non-text or research-based assistance.

Separately, AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI 500 "Medusa Point" APUs are nearing reality, and Valve has released Proton 11.0-2, fixing numerous compatibility issues for Windows games on SteamOS and Linux. Microsoft has also introduced Microsoft Recommended Search Settings, a standalone app that installs Bing extensions and modifies search settings in various browsers.
