Adobe brings image, video, and PDF creation directly into Slack
Adobe for Slack lets users create images, videos, and PDFs by prompting Slackbot, which routes requests to over 70 Adobe creative tools.
Adobe has integrated image, video, and PDF creation capabilities directly into Slack, allowing users to create polished marketing graphics, video content, and documents without leaving the Slack workspace. The integration relies on Slackbot, Slack's built-in AI assistant, which can automatically determine which Adobe tool is needed for a given task, such as Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, Illustrator, or InDesign.
Slackbot can read context from relevant conversations, Canvases, and shared files, eliminating the need for users to type out background information. Users can also search their Creative Cloud library for assets by subject, style, or mood and pull them into their current chat. This integration benefits teams by enabling them to review assets, share feedback, and iterate on designs directly within Slack channels while staying connected to Adobe's creative ecosystem.
Adobe Experience Platform agents can be used to automate marketing and customer experience workflows within Slack. Businesses will require a qualifying Slack plan (Business+ or Enterprise+) and a separate Adobe subscription to access these features. Adobe is expected to release similar capabilities for Google's Gemini platform in the future.
Meanwhile, Acer has launched a lightweight Windows laptop called the Swift Blade 14, competing with Apple's $699 MacBook Neo in the under $700 price point. Acer's Swift Blade 14 features a 3K OLED display, Intel Core Series 3 processors, 12GB of memory, and up to 1TB of storage, along with a 14-inch display that weighs 799 grams (1.76 pounds) and is 12.9mm thick.
Asus has also introduced ProArt laptops powered by Nvidia's RTX Spark platform at IFA 2026, positioning them as portable workstations for creators and developers who want to run AI workloads directly on their PCs. Apple's MacBook Neo has set a new benchmark for inexpensive Windows laptops, and Dell is responding with the Dell 14S, an affordable alternative to the MacBook Neo with up to 21 hours of battery life. Dell has not announced the pricing for the 14S yet.
