  1. Adobe expands Creative Cloud AI agents and MCP plans

    At Adobe MAX, Adobe announced that Firefly AI Assistant can plan and carry out multi-step work, let users review or edit plans, choose an AI model manually or automatically, and handle recurring tasks. Adobe also demonstrated background operation and said users can take over the resulting edits. The company presented expanded local Model Context Protocol integrations as a way for external agents to work with native projects in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects. Availability remains unclear: CNET described the integrations as being in preview, while other reports said they were not yet open and Adobe planned a private test in early 2027. Adobe did not announce when the background-running assistant would be tested.

  2. Developer builds 7 free open-source Adobe alternatives with Claude Opus 5.5

    Software engineer Brandon Thomas has launched ArtCraft, an open-source project that uses Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and the Rust language to recreate seven Adobe Creative Cloud apps: PhotoCraft (Photoshop), LightCraft (Lightroom), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere Pro), EffectCraft (After Effects), DesignCraft (InDesign) and PdfCraft (Acrobat), with interfaces and workflows deliberately kept close to Adobe's. TMTPost reports the project has drawn more than 30,000 developer followers and over 100,000 likes on GitHub, and the team lead claims community feedback could bring it to roughly 99% feature parity with Adobe's software within months — a claim that remains unverified. The local editing tools are free and open source, while ArtCraft's cloud AI generation services run on credits and paid plans; reviewers at TechRadar and Creative Bloq found gaps in PhotoCraft's file-format support and saving, LightCraft's color management and masking, and FilmCraft's audio and editing. Thomas describes the code as clean-room implementations, though the similar interfaces and interaction patterns could raise intellectual-property questions.
