Adobe’s conversational AI agent is a mediocre design intern

The Verge reviewed Adobe’s Firefly AI Assistant beta and found it can act like a chat-based image editor.

It handled tasks such as color changes, background edits, and adding objects, while explaining its workflow and limits.

Some results were rough or incomplete, and a few requested transformations failed.

The tool reflects Adobe’s push to make complex creative software more accessible without removing human control.
