Photoshop just got a hefty upgrade with 'Generative Fill', a feature that empowers Photoshop users to tap into the strength of Firefly right on their desktop.

Generative Fill interprets simple, natural language to guide Photoshop into producing visually impressive images. Whether it's adding elements, replacing parts of a picture, or expanding an image's edges, the possibilities are near endless.

Adobe is democratizing expert-level design, making it simpler and more accessible. Don't just take my word for it, see the demos here.

Google is introducing conversational AI to Google Ads. Feed it your landing page, and watch in awe as it conjures up keywords, headlines, descriptions, images, and more for your campaign.

The future of Search Ads will look a lot different with Google supercharging automatic asset creation with AI, enhancing ad relevance in perfect sync with search queries.

Imagine searching "skincare for dry, sensitive skin" and stumbling upon a tailored ad headline like "Soothe Your Dry, Sensitive Skin."

Meanwhile, Google is also leveraging generative AI in Performance Max to facilitate easy campaign scaling. The AI creates unique assets based on your brand, further adding to the marketers' toolkit. AI is quickly redefining every industry.
