Adobe unveils AI agents to streamline marketing & support
Adobe has introduced its first set of AI agents for global customers with new features aimed at supporting marketing and customer experience workflows.
The new Product Support Agent offers marketers and experience teams an interactive way to address issues within Adobe Experience Platform applications, providing immediate troubleshooting guidance and case management support directly through the user interface.
This agent is the most recent addition to Adobe's portfolio of AI agents, joining the now generally available Data Insights Agent, which is designed to help users derive insights from customer data within Customer Journey Analytics.
Both the Product Support Agent and Data Insights Agent function through the Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator. This infrastructure enables organisations to build, manage, and coordinate AI agents across Adobe and third-party ecosystems.
The Product Support Agent was created to offer proactive, self-service support and actionable advice to marketers and customer experience teams. By using the AI Assistant within Adobe Experience Platform, users can access trustworthy knowledge sources, such as official troubleshooting articles, product tutorials, and legal documentation to seek solutions to operational challenges.
Adobe stated that this approach is intended to minimise workflow interruptions, lessen the frequency of escalated support cases, and allow teams more time to focus on activities such as campaign planning, data analysis, and customer journey management.
Where an issue is unclear or highly technical, the Product Support Agent can automatically collect relevant contextual information—including system logs, metadata, and user session details—and pre-fill the support case form for review before submission. This procedure ensures that crucial information is gathered from the start and facilitates the agent's ability to manage triage-level tasks, such as categorising, prioritising, and compiling case context. This enables support teams to start work on the case promptly.
The Product Support Agent is also able to provide real-time status updates for open support tickets directly from the AI Assistant interface. Users are not required to switch tools or log into separate portals. Adobe stated that proactive notifications, which would inform users immediately of any change in case status, will be available in the near future. This helps reduce follow-up requests from users seeking updates and ensures timely communication as cases progress.
Sean Kegelman, Director of Digital Marketing at Wegmans Food Markets, said, "From onboarding new users to deploying the latest features in Adobe applications, the Product Support Agent is shortening the time it takes for us to see value. By streamlining these time-intensive tasks, we can devote more energy towards using Adobe's tools to enhance the shopping experiences we deliver online."
The Data Insights Agent, which is also now generally available, was introduced as the first agent developed using the Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator. This agent enables users to explore data directly by asking natural language questions such as "What channels drove the most conversions last week?" The agent then generates a visualisation within the Analysis Workspace in Adobe Customer Journey Analytics.
The Data Insights Agent is intended to simplify the process for marketers seeking to generate insights. Users can query data in natural language, create visualisations from scratch, and make further adjustments to existing visualisations as part of an iterative analysis process.
Lokesh Alluri, Digital and Marketing Analytics Manager at Lenovo, said, "Adobe's Data Insights Agent will be a major unlock for our organisation, shortening the time it takes to find and deliver actionable insights. By streamlining time-intensive workflows, from reporting to forecasting, we can ensure that every stakeholder has timely data to drive initiatives that enhance customer satisfaction."
Adobe described the Experience Platform Agents as being tailored for a contemporary work environment where AI is increasingly used to support creative and operational processes in marketing. The company noted that AI agents are intended to support, not replace, human expertise, adding efficiency to enable greater focus on strategic work and creative solutions.

Adobe debuts free Photoshop Android beta with AI tools & layers
Adobe has launched a beta version of its Photoshop app for Android devices, making core image editing features accessible to a wider range of mobile users. The move follows the iOS launch of the Photoshop mobile app earlier this year, expanding the reach of key Photoshop functionalities such as layers, masks, and the Firefly-powered Generative Fill tool. The Android beta is now available for free download on Google Play. During this period, users can access all current features with no charge, and Adobe has indicated that new capabilities will be introduced in future updates. According to Adobe, the app has been designed to be intuitive and approachable for creators working directly on their phones. The initial release includes many of Photoshop's primary image editing tools and capabilities, including layering and masking, as well as the AI-powered Generative Fill. This feature enables users to add or transform elements in their work using Firefly generative AI technology. Adobe said, "Since its debut in February, creators have embraced the Photoshop mobile app, using it for everything from editing photos and unique digital art on the go, to creating intricate collages, amazing thumbnails and more. Now, we're excited to bring Photoshop to Android to empower more mobile creators to bring their ideas to life with creative freedom, anytime and anywhere." The app is targeted at a broad range of users. Adobe stated, "Photoshop mobile is designed to be intuitive and accessible for creators who prefer to work on their phones. The all-new Android app includes Photoshop's iconic image editing and design capabilities, including tools such as layering, masking and the popular, Firefly-powered Generative Fill. Photoshop mobile makes it easy to create wherever inspiration strikes, from designing cover art, to a video thumbnail, a vision board, or capturing an idea on the go." For professional and experienced users, the app can serve as a complement to the desktop version, making it easier to access work, make quick edits, or capture ideas when away from their primary computer. "The mobile app makes it fast and easy for the next generation of creators to get started with Photoshop. The app provides flexibility for experienced professionals, empowering desktop creators to access work, make quick edits or capture creative ideas anywhere," Adobe said. Core features currently available with the Android beta include the ability to combine and blend images using key tools like selections, layers, and masks; a Tap Select tool to quickly remove or replace image elements; a Spot Healing Brush for removing distractions; Firefly-powered Generative Fill; access to a growing library of Adobe Stock assets; Object Select and Magic Wand selection tools; as well as Remove and Clone Stamp tools for advanced edits. Users can also control layers and effects with blend modes and adjustment layers. Adobe shared examples of how the mobile app has been used by mobile-first creators, including digital art production and transforming everyday photos into art. "Since introducing Photoshop mobile, we've been inspired by creators using the app in unique ways, including crafting beautiful visual stories, creating digital art on the go and transforming everyday moments into art with powerful tools at their fingertips. Below are a few examples," the company said. To help users get started, the app includes mobile tutorials covering working with layers, selections, and generative AI features. Users can join Adobe Community Forums to share work and receive feedback, with Adobe highlighting the role community input will play in developing the Android app further. "Whether you're trying Photoshop for the first time or exploring new ideas, we want to help you dive in with confidence: Explore the Photoshop mobile tutorials directly in the app to learn how to work with layers, selections, and generative AI tools like Generative Fill. Connect with the Photoshop community through the Adobe Community Forums to share work and connect with others for feedback, support and inspiration. As we continue to develop the Android experience, community feedback will help shape what comes next. Visit the Adobe Inspiration Hub to explore new creative ideas, read real creator stories and try thought-starters to help guide projects," Adobe said. The beta version is available for devices running Android 11 or later, with a requirement of at least 6GB of RAM, though Adobe recommends 8GB or more for optimal performance. The Photoshop app for iPhone remains available globally through the Apple App Store.

Adobe launches Real-Time CDP Collaboration in Australia, NZ
Adobe has announced the general availability of its Real-Time CDP Collaboration platform in Australia and New Zealand, with several local publishers joining as initial partners. The platform is designed to allow brands and publishers to work together using first-party data to build, target, and measure high-value audiences while maintaining customer privacy. Built on the Adobe Experience Platform, Real-Time CDP Collaboration gives brands the ability to connect data across multiple partners, activate audiences across television, video, and display channels, and measure campaign effectiveness. The solution supports the use of consent-based data and is intended to foster trusted relationships between brands and their customers. News Corp Australia, carsales, Nine, SBS, and TVNZ have been announced as the platform's first local publisher partners. Through these collaborations, advertisers are expected to discover new audiences aligned with consumer preferences and run campaigns across various publisher networks. Dean La Rosa, General Manager, Commercial Data at News Corp Australia, commented on the partnership, stating, "This expanded partnership with Adobe represents another significant step forward for News Australia in driving the industry to unlock the full potential of first party data against premium, scalable networks. Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration enables us to connect with brands in a secure, privacy compliant way to deliver rich audience insights, offer more relevant and personalised campaigns, and ultimately drive better outcomes from the media investments across the News Australia network." Nicholas Bailly, Commercial Director, carsales mediahouse, elaborated on the data-driven approach, saying, "At carsales, everything starts with trusted, high-quality first-party data — it's the engine behind our media and marketing solutions. With billions of behavioural signals each quarter at our fingertips, we're uniquely positioned to help brands reach the right audience, in the right place, at the right time in their buying journey. Our work with Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration takes our data capabilities even further, enhancing how advertisers securely connect with in-market car buyers in a privacy-first way. Supported by this integration, our people-based marketing platform, carsales Match, enables marketers to activate rich audience segments and deliver campaigns with greater precision, scale and confidence." Stephanie Drabble, Director of Data and Product Commercialisation and Strategy at Nine, underscored the importance of partnership, stating, "Collaborating with brands on their first-party data is crucial for Nine to deliver more relevant ad experiences and drive greater value for advertisers. In a privacy-first landscape, Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration provides a secure and intuitive environment for us to partner with brands, allowing them to discover high-value audiences and activate campaigns across our diverse properties with increased velocity, enhancing campaign effectiveness." Claire Lawler, Senior Data and Commercial Product Manager at SBS, addressed the privacy concerns, adding, "Many of our clients are eager to leverage data to enhance campaign efficiency, but privacy and security concerns often pose challenges. Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration provides a secure, consent-driven environment that allows us to work closely with advertisers, unlocking data-driven opportunities while respecting consumer privacy. This platform strengthens our commitment to providing solutions that seamlessly integrate with our clients' data platforms." Valerie Walshe, Chief Revenue Officer at TVNZ, highlighted the growing interest in data collaboration, saying, "TVNZ, so far, has partnered with more than 50 brands on data collaboration. This is the largest of any publisher in New Zealand and it's an area which continues to grow for us. The Adobe platform helps us streamline the full process, from sharing insights, to activation, to measurement, giving marketers greater access to TVNZ's rich first-party data. We're excited to unlock new opportunities and business results for marketers in this space." Real-Time CDP Collaboration is designed to connect and collaborate on first-party data from a centralised application. Advertisers and publishers can use dashboards to identify audience overlap and explore customer acquisition, retargeting, or suppression opportunities. Brands can use existing audiences from Adobe Real-Time CDP or other preferred platforms, and customise data visibility and access for ongoing campaigns. Advertisers can activate audience segments across display, video, and streaming television channels, reaching high-value customers and optimising advertising spend. Publishers can use these tools to refine audience targeting and scale revenue opportunities. Additional features, such as AI-driven audience expansion and lookalike modelling, are expected to be introduced soon. Brands will also have access to insights for measuring campaign ROI, with dashboards offering data on impressions, reach, and frequency. Planned enhancements will allow for secure integration of conversion data and the use of additional analytics tools for cross-channel measurement and media planning. Gabbi Stubbs, Asia Pacific Product Marketing Lead for Data Management and AI at Adobe, explained, "Brands are focusing on leveraging consent-driven data to personalise experiences and drive performance based on direct customer relationships. Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration empowers brands to jointly discover high-value audiences without moving or exposing directly identifiable customer data, and with our publishing partners, advertisers can easily and cost-effectively activate and measure campaigns that connect directly with their audiences."
