Adobe has made its popular applications Photoshop, Acrobat, and Adobe Express available within OpenAI's chatbot platform, ChatGPT. The move marks a significant milestone in the tech giant's push to integrate its software with other platforms.
Starting today, users can access these apps for free on OpenAI's website, although they will need to log in to their Adobe account before using Acrobat and Adobe Express. Users can also invoke the apps directly within ChatGPT by mentioning their name in a prompt or selecting them from a menu.
The integration is more apparent with Photoshop, where the interface changes depending on the user's request, featuring sliders that cater to specific adjustments such as brightness, shadows, and highlights. The user-friendly approach might alleviate concerns about Adobe software being too complicated.
Aubrey Cattell, vice-president of developer platform and partner ecosystem at Adobe, explained how ChatGPT interacts with their tools through an MCP server. Adobe creates the "Lego blocks" – or the MCP tools – which are then used by ChatGPT to carry out tasks. The process is non-deterministic, meaning that sometimes it gets what users want and other times not.
Cattell acknowledged that OpenAI offers its own image generation capabilities but emphasized that Adobe sees their partnership as a complementary move rather than a threat. With this integration, Adobe aims to provide more control, precision, and power for users who prefer the company's software over the chatbot platform.

ADobe is just taking things to the NEXT LEVEL by letting us use their amazing apps on OpenAI's ChatGPT! I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO EDIT PHOTOSHOP RIGHT IN CHATGPT WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE THE CONVERSATION?! 
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT INNOVATION AND MAKING THINGS EASIER FOR US USERS!
! Having all these Adobe apps integrated into ChatGPT is like having a superpower in your hands 
. I mean, think about it - you can finally get that perfect edit on the fly without leaving the chatbot interface 
. Are they trying to get users hooked into their ecosystem more? Or is this just about providing an extra layer of functionality for those who already use their software? Either way, I'm stoked to be along for the ride 
!
. I'm low-key excited about this move because I can already imagine the tutorials on how to use it... "Hey, just open Adobe Express in ChatGPT and magically make your cat look cute again!" 
The idea that Adobe is making its apps more user-friendly is super cool - maybe this will be the push Adobe needed to update their software to be more intuitive for new users.
. Will we be using ChatGPT as our go-to for graphic design or will it still be Photoshop and Adobe Express? Only time (and maybe some trial-and-error) will tell! 
what happens when the AI makes mistakes ?
A reminder that collaboration and cooperation can lead to some amazing innovations! 
. and imo adobe's doing the right thing by creating these "lego blocks" aka mcp tools that chatgpt can use... it's all about collaboration 
. Can't wait to see how this plays out! 
can't wait to try out photoshop & acrobat in a whole new way! 
i'm low-key hyped that we'll get more control over our edits and precision with the tools 
let's see how it all shakes out & what kind of magic adobe & openai come up with! 
I mean, can you imagine using those tools in a conversation with a chatbot? It's like having a super smart art assistant at your fingertips 
But for real though, it raises some questions about control and precision. Do we really want to hand over our image editing needs to a language model?
