Adobe brings image, video, and PDF creation directly into Slack

You'll need separate Slack and Adobe subscriptions to use it.

Creating a marketing graphic or editing a PDF is now as easy as sending a Slack message. Starting today, Adobe for Slack lets you turn everyday conversations, shared files, and project briefs into polished images, videos, and documents, without leaving your Slack workspace.

Slack can now create Adobe content with simple prompts

Everything runs through Slackbot, Slack’s built-in AI assistant. Tell it what you’re after, like turning a marketing thread into a poster, and it figures out which Adobe tool needs to handle the job. That could be Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, or any of the other 70-plus tools now plugged in.

What makes this feature useful is that Slackbot reads context on its own. It’ll pull from relevant conversations, Canvases, and shared files, so you’re not stuck typing out background info it could’ve just found itself. You can also ask it to dig through your Creative Cloud library, searching by subject, style, or even mood, then pull those older assets straight into your current chat to keep working on them.

Repetitive stuff gets easier too, such as batch editing product shots, resizing approved campaign creative for different platforms, or turning a raw spreadsheet into something you can share with a client.

Creative teams can collaborate without leaving Slack

Adobe says the integration is built for more than individual creators. Teams can review assets, share feedback, and iterate on designs directly inside Slack channels while keeping projects connected to Adobe’s creative ecosystem. Businesses can also use Adobe Experience Platform agents to automate marketing and customer experience workflows from within Slack.

This feature isn’t free, though. You’ll need a qualifying Slack plan, either Business+ or Enterprise+, and your own separate Adobe subscription on top of that. This launch follows Adobe’s integration for ChatGPT last month, and an existing Claude integration. Adobe plans to release the same capabilities for Gemini in the sometime in future.

Google and Cathay Pacific are using AI to tackle aviation’s overlooked climate problem
A third of aviation's climate impact comes from contrails most people never think about.

Those wispy white lines trailing behind airplanes (called contrails) sure look harmless from the ground, but they're doing more damage to the climate than we realize.

As part of Operating Blue Skies, Google has partnered with Cathay Pacific, one of the major international airlines operating both passenger and cargo flights, to test and deploy AI-driven contrail mitigation technology across a region where air travel is growing faster than anywhere else: Asia Pacific.

As AI takes over schools, teachers are going back to basics to curb AI cheating
AI detectors kept getting it wrong, so schools are trying something that actually works.
ChatGPT on iPhone

Last year, teachers spent most of their energy trying to catch students using ChatGPT to write essays. This year, many have decided that's a losing battle, especially since the detectors meant to catch cheaters have been burning innocent students instead. 

A Bloomberg investigation found popular tools like GPTZero and Copyleaks wrongly flagged pre-ChatGPT college essays as AI-written, and one UC Davis senior was accused of cheating and handed a zero on his midterm, purely based on a detector's score, even though he wrote every word himself.

Meta’s upcoming AI life manager does more than just answer questions.

While most people's idea of AI is just a chatbot, agentic uses help build them as something more. Finding an email attachment, remembering a deadline, or following up on something that many people can take advantage of. Meta’s upcoming Muse agent is coming in as that solution.

Early screenshots shared by TestingCatalog show a personal assistant that can proactively handle everyday tasks and keep track of longer-term goals. The agent has reportedly moved from internal testing into a limited closed alpha, with invite-code functionality now appearing alongside its waitlist.
