Google and Adobe team up to put creative tools into Gmail and Docs

According to Google AI: Google and Adobe are expanding their partnership to reduce app switching by integrating Adobe's PDF and creative tools directly into everyday Google apps like Gmail, Google Drive, and Gemini. At the same time, Google's advanced AI models will power Adobe's software, helping people work faster and stay focused without constantly jumping between different programs.

Deeper Integration

Google and Adobe are teaming up to solve a common annoyance: constantly jumping between different apps just to edit a file or tweak an image. Soon, tools like Adobe Acrobat will show up directly inside Gmail and Google Drive as quick options, letting you view and edit PDFs on the spot.

AI Collaboration

This partnership goes both ways. Adobe is bringing its connectors into Google's Gemini and Search, and integrating its CX Enterprise Coworker agent to help teams design graphics and launch marketing campaigns right inside enterprise workspaces. Meanwhile, Adobe is teaming up with Google DeepMind to explore new features, starting with an image model for Photoshop aimed at making near-real-time edits possible.
