Adobe is putting its entire creative ecosystem inside ChatGPT with one unified plugin

Popular tools like Photoshop, Premiere, and Firefly are just a prompt away.

People, Person, Ball — Adobe

A lot of my friends spent too many hours bouncing back and forth between ChatGPT and Photoshop, trying to turn an idea into a vision. Adobe just closed that gap.

The company has launched a single plugin that can pull over 70 of its creative and productivity tools directly into your chat with ChatGPT.

So what can you actually do with this plugin?

Instead of separate Adobe connectors like before, ChatGPT users now get one unified plugin that covers a variety of Adobe tools, including Photoshop, Premiere, Firefly, and Lightroom, among others.

You can simply describe what you want, and the ChatGPT plugin figures out which Adobe tools are required to fulfill the request. Then, it invokes those tools behind the scenes to get you there, without any manual back-and-forth whatsoever.

Practical examples Adobe’s highlighting include applying one consistent visual style across a batch of product photos, saving the results straight to Creative Cloud, or turning a single strong shot into a packaging mockup without opening anything else.

What about video and document work?

You can hand ChatGPT a long video recording, ask it to create a highlight reel, then have it reformatted for YouTube Shorts. Instagram Reels, or a TikTok video. Document and design work benefits too, letting you pull from thousands of templates and swap in your own copy and colors,

You can also animate the result for social media or export it as a print-ready PDF. Despite ChatGPT being able to invoke the most popular Adobe tools and getting some of the most tedious work done via a natural language command, Adobe’s clear that this isn’t meant to replace its full apps entirely, and I can see why.

While you can expect ChatGPT to get a quick first draft by handing off the required task to Photoshop, Premiere, or Express, the chatbot doesn’t guarantee pixel-perfect results for creative designs or deeper video editing.

To me, it sounds like Adobe simply wants to consolidate all its ChatGPT connectors into one solid plugin to save the users’ time and effort. On OpenAI’s end, this ensures that ChatGPT users aren’t exiting the chatbot the moment they need something that’s not text or research.

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.

Aircraft, Flight, Transportation

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 Muse agent is getting closer, and it might take over your to-do list

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.
