Agentic AI is the hottest AI topic because it takes AI assistance as we know it a step further, actually carrying out tasks for users. Adobe has millions of users who rely on its applications and services to carry out complex everyday business or creative processes. As a result, it is nearly a perfect candidate for agentic AI, and Adobe plans to go all in on it.

On Wednesday, Adobe published a blog post previewing how it will integrate AI agents into its applications, including some of its most powerful offerings -- Acrobat, Express, Photoshop, and Creative Cloud. The company says it is taking a similar approach to its integration of generative AI, incorporating features designed to help people spend more time doing what they love.

To find out what tasks these AI agents will be able to take off your plate soon, keep reading the round-up below.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop already has some agentic adjacent features, such as the Distraction Removal feature, which allows users to remove background distractions like poles and wires with one click. At Adobe Max the company will build on this groundwork, unveiling a new Action Panel, the first creative agent in Photoshop.

Adobe says that with the Action Panel Photoshop will be able to analyze your image and then recommend context-aware edits. After suggesting the edit, it will be able to carry out the reaction for you with one click. Users will also be able to use natural language or normal, everyday language to access more than 1,000 one-click actions that can carry out the intended task for you.

According to Adobe this will not only help speed up the process but also ensure that users learn and familiarize themselves with the applications and learn how to use the tools better by providing feedback and suggestions.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Just last week Adobe added an AI feature, Media Intelligence, in Premiere Pro that can help you filter through all the prompts using natural language that describes the scene or angle, or includes a spoken word or an element from the metadata, such as the shoot date or the camera type.

Taking it a step further, Adobe is working on AI agents that can use that advanced understanding of your media to take actions for you, such as developing a rough cut. Adobe says that oftentimes the most difficult part of starting a project is finding all of the right shots and piecing them together. This agent will be able to help sort all of that content for you and place it on your timeline with your direction so you can jump straight into the editing.

Once you get started, the agent can provide suggestions and even help you learn how to perform complex tasks efficiently, expanding your skillset. Agents that can help assist with color grading and mix audio are also part of Adobe's greater vision for agentic AI in Premiere Pro in the future.

Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat is one of the company's most widely known tools, with people from all different professions using it to view and interact with digital documents. The app already has an Acrobat AI Assistant, a feature that answers information about the documents and generates quick summaries that Adobe says is a first step into agentic AI.

The company is working to build on that, bringing more agentic AI capabilities that enhance how users interact with their documents even further. For example, in the coming months there will be a feature that allows users to create custom agents with different roles, such as a research or sales assistant, or even a tutor. These agents will be able to analyze the documents, use reasoning to complete the task assigned to them, and make suggestions about further areas to explore, according to the release.

Adobe Express

Adobe Express is a content creation tool that caters to everyone, from beginners to experienced creative professionals, where people can create videos, PDFs, graphics, and more. Agentic AI in Adobe Express is meant to make the aforementioned content creation process more "intuitive and efficient," according to the blog post.

Specifically, Adobe is building an agent that can function as a creative partner, giving users support in carrying out their intended project, even if they are not familiar with what tools to use or how to get there. Adobe shares the example of an Express user asking Express to create and improve a design.
