Known issues we've tracked

Firefly AI Assistant (Adobe's agentic Creative Cloud copilot, successor to Project Moonlight) was announced 2026-04-15. Orchestrates multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Express, Illustrator, and Firefly from a single chat interface. Public beta opens 'in coming weeks' -- live demos at Adobe Summit 2026-04-19 through 2026-04-22. Worth a re-review when beta opens to the public

2026-04•Adobe blog announcement, TechCrunch

Adobe Summit Day 1 keynote (2026-04-20) shipped five agentic-AI product announcements beyond Firefly AI Assistant: (1) Adobe CX Enterprise -- end-to-end agentic AI for customer-lifecycle management; (2) CX Enterprise Coworker -- agentic AI coworker orchestrating CX workflows; (3) Brand Intelligence + GenStudio expansion -- agentic content supply chain; (4) Brand Visibility Solution -- tooling to help brands stay accurate and cited in AI search / chatbot answers (direct response to GEO/AEO search); (5) expanded partner ecosystem across tech + agencies + SIs. These are CX / enterprise-marketing products, not creative-suite features -- included here as context because Firefly is now part of a much broader agentic stack
