Drive and Gmail will offer routes into Acrobat
Adobe and Google have announced an expanded partnership that places Adobe tools inside more Google services and brings Google models into Adobe applications. Planned Acrobat access through Google Workspace includes Drive and Gmail. Acrobat, Adobe’s PDF document application, will appear as a suggested app, with an editing entry point in file previews. The companies present these additions as forthcoming integrations.[1], [2]
Adobe tools will reach more Google AI services
Adobe plans to expand its existing connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise to include Acrobat and additional creative tools. That would allow users to work with documents, images and designs within their conversations. Creative tools are also planned for AI Mode in Google Search. In Acrobat, Google’s Gemini models will join the models powering conversational document editing and other AI capabilities.[1]
DeepMind and Adobe will explore Photoshop editing
Google image and video models will continue to be available across Firefly, Photoshop, Express and Premiere. Adobe and Google DeepMind, Google’s AI research organization, will also explore new editing capabilities for Photoshop. The companies are exploring customization of a Google image model for prompt-based edits and a choice of variants. The exploration builds on an existing collaboration that includes Adobe connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise.[1]
