Adobe is putting its entire creative ecosystem inside ChatGPT with one unified plugin

Popular tools like Photoshop, Premiere, and Firefly are just a prompt away.

People, Person, Ball — Adobe

A lot of my friends spent too many hours bouncing back and forth between ChatGPT and Photoshop, trying to turn an idea into a vision. Adobe just closed that gap.

The company has launched a single plugin that can pull over 70 of its creative and productivity tools directly into your chat with ChatGPT.

So what can you actually do with this plugin?

Instead of separate Adobe connectors like before, ChatGPT users now get one unified plugin that covers a variety of Adobe tools, including Photoshop, Premiere, Firefly, and Lightroom, among others.

You can simply describe what you want, and the ChatGPT plugin figures out which Adobe tools are required to fulfill the request. Then, it invokes those tools behind the scenes to get you there, without any manual back-and-forth whatsoever.

Practical examples Adobe’s highlighting include applying one consistent visual style across a batch of product photos, saving the results straight to Creative Cloud, or turning a single strong shot into a packaging mockup without opening anything else.

What about video and document work?

You can hand ChatGPT a long video recording, ask it to create a highlight reel, then have it reformatted for YouTube Shorts. Instagram Reels, or a TikTok video. Document and design work benefits too, letting you pull from thousands of templates and swap in your own copy and colors,

You can also animate the result for social media or export it as a print-ready PDF. Despite ChatGPT being able to invoke the most popular Adobe tools and getting some of the most tedious work done via a natural language command, Adobe’s clear that this isn’t meant to replace its full apps entirely, and I can see why.

While you can expect ChatGPT to get a quick first draft by handing off the required task to Photoshop, Premiere, or Express, the chatbot doesn’t guarantee pixel-perfect results for creative designs or deeper video editing.

To me, it sounds like Adobe simply wants to consolidate all its ChatGPT connectors into one solid plugin to save the users’ time and effort. On OpenAI’s end, this ensures that ChatGPT users aren’t exiting the chatbot the moment they need something that’s not text or research.

A bigger screen, smarter Alexa, and a wallet-sized dilemma.

Smart displays have promised to run my entire house for years. However, I mostly end up using them as fancy kitchen timers or home security monitors. Amazon’s newest one wants to change my mind, and it comes with a serious price tag.

The company just unveiled the Echo Show 16. It is a 16-inch smart display that isn’t just a kitchen timer but a small TV, thanks to built-in Fire TV. The baseline version costs $499.99, and the anti-glare version costs $569.99. Pre-orders get $100 off; the device ships late this year.

M6 iMac vs. M4 iMac: Skipping the M5 made a bigger difference than I expected

Same pretty aluminum shell. Much stronger M6 heart.

After five years with Apple silicon, from the original M1 MacBook Air to the M5 MacBook Air released earlier this year, I've watched these chips mature not just on the spec sheet, but in real-world workflows and overall efficiency.

The new M6 chip might sound like a routine generational upgrade, but it's the company's first chip built on a 2nm manufacturing process, which brings meaningful improvements over previous Apple chips.

Gemini Notebook can now record lectures and meetings without the upload shuffle

The mobile app lets you capture up to an hour of live audio and immediately use it as a notebook source

Gemini Notebook update for students

Gemini Notebook’s mobile app now has a built-in recorder for capturing lectures and meetings as sources. You can record directly where you’ll use the material, skipping the separate recording app and the file upload afterward.

Google announced the feature on X, highlighting classroom lectures and team meetings as potential uses. It also works for capturing your own thoughts, so you can talk through an idea and bring that explanation into your notebook while it’s still fresh.
