Adobe announced on September 2 (local time) the launch of "Adobe for Slack," which enables the use of the company's creative tools within the chat platform Slack. The service is available for Slack's "Business+" and "Enterprise+" plans and can be accessed via desktop, web, and mobile environments.

More than 70 tools are available, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Firefly, and Acrobat. Operations are performed through "Slackbot," the AI assistant integrated into Slack. When a user describes what they want to create in natural language, Slackbot selects the appropriate Adobe tool to proceed with the task.
A key feature is the ability to incorporate the context of Slack conversations, files, and the "canvas" document function. For example, users can summarize conversation content into a PDF or video, or convert spreadsheet data into visuals. For tasks requiring more precise control, users are expected to work within the standalone Adobe Express or Photoshop applications.
The service can be used without an Adobe account, but signing in with a free account allows access to files on Creative Cloud and the ability to transfer work. Adobe stated that it is also expanding support for AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot, and plans to support Google's Gemini in the near future.
