At Max, Adobe previewed local MCP for Creative Cloud agents and shipped or beta-launched new generative editing tools.

At Adobe Max in Miami, Adobe previewed local Model Context Protocol integrations so agents from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic can edit native files in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects while layers stay editable. A private beta is planned for early 2027; Adobe said it is still deciding which capabilities to expose and will follow user feedback. Always-on agents were previewed for Firefly AI Assistant first, with no launch date. Separately, Adobe announced generative erase and related editing features across Creative Cloud and Firefly, including Premiere Generative Remove in beta and generally available Firefly Quick Actions.
