Introducing Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly can create endless variations in multiple applications and will be soon available in beta. Integrating Adobe Firefly with Experience Manager will allow for unified customer data offline and online. This has been achieved through studying 600 billion predictive insights created and 30 trillion audience activations every single day. Generative AI technologies, such as those found in Adobe Sensei, will redefine creativity and customer experience.

Adobe Mix Modeler and Adobe Sensei allow for adjusting marketing plans and working iteratively and agilely, leading to experience-led growth.

Adobe’s introduction of Content Supply Chain should accelerate the timeframe by which content is created for the end user. The time lost as part of a disconnect that is seen between the creative team and marketing would be drastically reduced with the introduction of Adobe’s Content Supply Chain.
