Adobe brings Photoshop, Firefly, and 70+ creative tools to Slack with MCP app

Adobe has integrated its array of creative and productivity tools into Slack, enabling teams to craft and manipulate images, videos, designs, and PDFs directly within their conversations. This new Adobe for Slack MCP app, launching today, integrates over 70 professional-grade tools, including Firefly, Adobe Express, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, Stock, and Lightroom.

It operates via Slackbot, Slack's built-in AI assistant, which can gather context from messages, files, channels, and Canvases before activating the relevant Adobe tools. This context-driven approach allows users to, for instance, summarize a project brief and then convert it into a PDF, image, or video. The app can also search Creative Cloud assets based on subject, style, or mood and integrate these results into a Slack workflow for further editing.

Users can resize approved campaign creative for different social platforms, transform spreadsheet data into shareable visuals, and refine batches of photos all within Slack. Adobe asserts that users can eliminate backgrounds and distractions, adjust lighting and tone, crop images, and generate multiple variations from within the platform.

Adobe for Slack is now accessible globally to Slack Business+ and Enterprise+ customers across desktop, web, and mobile platforms. Users can launch the app without an Adobe account, with the option to sign in to unlock more tools, generative AI features, Creative Cloud files, and continuity across sessions. This expansion underscores Adobe's ongoing strategy to incorporate its tools into AI chatbots, already supported by ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, with Gemini integration set to follow.
