Adobe has expanded its Firefly AI Assistant with agentic capabilities that run multi-step creative tasks across its apps, and opened a waitlist for a reimagined Firefly studio. The June 18 announcement pushes Firefly from generating individual assets toward orchestrating whole production workflows.
What This Enables: Describe an Outcome, Let the Assistant Run the Steps
Instead of prompting one image or clip at a time, you can now ask the Firefly AI Assistant to handle a multi-step job and have it coordinate the work. New skills in the public beta include brand kit creation, short product-video generation, storyboard creation, and a Quick Cut feature that auto-assembles footage into a rough cut. The assistant runs in public beta inside Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Frame.io, with a private beta in After Effects.
Why It Matters
Most AI creative tools still leave the assembly to you: generate a clip, generate another, then stitch them by hand. Adobe's pitch with this expansion is that the agent handles the connective steps, so a creator describes the deliverable and refines the result rather than driving every action. For working editors and designers, that targets the slow middle of a project, the part between idea and polished draft. It is the same shift toward agents living inside the canvas that we covered with Framer 3.
Key Details
Agentic skills: Brand kit creation, product-video generation, storyboards, and Quick Cut auto-assembly in public beta.

What to Do Next
If you have a Creative Cloud plan, open the Firefly AI Assistant in Firefly and try one multi-step task such as a product-video rough cut, then join the studio waitlist. For the rest of Adobe's June updates, see our Creative Cloud June 2026 roundup.
