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.
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.
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.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
