Adobe has beenaggressivelyaddingAI featuresto all its products in the last few years. The company is now adding more AI tools to Acrobat, including the ability to generate podcast summaries of files, create presentations, and a way for users to edit files using prompts.
The company launchedAdobe Spaceslast year, which is a collection of files and notes that multiple users can access. Now, Adobe is allowing users to use the information stored in these files and notes to create a presentation using text prompts.
For instance, if a user has financial details, product plans, and competitor analysis available in a Space, they can build a pitch deck for clients that focuses on why their product can solve problems better than rivals.
Acrobat’s AI assistant first generates an editable presentation with points that the deck would cover. You can then use Adobe Express’s theme library, stock photos, or use your own images to build the presentation. Plus, you can easily apply your brand’s theme or edit individual slides using Express.
Tools like Canva and NotebookLM already offer the ability to convert documents into presentations. Besides, newerstartupsarealsoworkingon letting people use AI to create presentations by tapping different sources.
Adobe is also letting users create a podcast to summarize a file or a Space within Acrobat. Notably, tools likeGoogle’s NotebookLM, Speechify, andElevenLabs’ Reader appalso let users create personalized podcasts using various notes and documents.
Acrobat is also getting the ability to let users edit files using prompts. The company said that users can take 12 actions, including removing pages, text, comments, and images; finding and replacing words and phrases; and adding e-signatures and passwords.
Acrobat already had sharing capabilities with Spaces, but now, when you share files with others, the files will house AI-generated summaries, with citations pointing to an exact location in the file. Contributors can also comment on files, or add or remove content.
Plus, users can use the default AI assistant or pick other assistant roles, like “analyst,” “entertainer,” or “instructor.” You can also create a custom assistant using a prompt.
