Slackbot can route design requests to 70 Adobe tools

Creative power is moving directly into the communication tools teams use every day. The line between creative software and daily communication is vanishing. Adobe is embedding seventy tools directly into Slack, letting Slackbot transform chats into polished assets. Which is great news for anyone who felt their work channels did not contain enough automated video files. Meanwhile, Google Pics is bringing precise object segmentation and text translation to your documents, and Figma is turning simple prompts into interactive shaders that react to motion. At the same time, hardware is shifting to support these fluid workflows.

Future smart glasses from the company will likely focus on voice control and open ear audio rather than complex augmented reality displays, keeping the physical world in clear view. To keep these digital ecosystems trustworthy, platforms are drawing hard lines.
