Adobe Launches Plugin Bringing 70+ Creative Tools into ChatGPT

Adobe is expanding its partnership with OpenAI's ChatGPT through a new integration called the Adobe for ChatGPT plugin. The tool provides access to Adobe-quality creative tools directly within ChatGPT's Work and Codex interfaces, available today on the web and app. According to Adobe, the plugin supports workflows such as photo editing, campaign video creation, marketing asset design, and generating PDFs. It builds on existing ChatGPT apps from Adobe, including Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat, which were made free in December. Some tools will be accessible to all users, while others depend on one's Adobe account; free accounts have usage limits. Adobe also offers its own AI assistants in Photoshop, Express, and Firefly, and has integrations with Anthropic's Claude and Microsoft Copilot. As AI labs release more design tools, Adobe positions itself as a commercially safer option due to licensed training data. An Adobe employee noted that licensed data still matters to enterprise clients, but tools like Claude Design are not yet major competitors. Despite market valuations dipping over fears of SaaS extinction, Adobe continues to report strong earnings, and the plugin demonstrates that AI labs like OpenAI still rely on Adobe's expertise.
