Learn how to start a conversation with the AI Assistant in Firefly Design from the chat panel or from your selected artwork on the canvas.
Use new beta features
Firefly Design is now available for testing and feedback. Try it now in Adobe Firefly.
The AI Assistant in Firefly Design helps you create and edit designs, explore fonts, set up artboards, manage brand kits, add motion, get feedback on your artwork, and more. You can describe what you want to create or change, review the results on the canvas, and refine them using follow-up prompts. Everything it creates stays editable like the rest of your design.
Use the AI Assistant panel
Select the AI Assistant icon from the upper-left corner. The AI Assistant panel opens.
Start a conversation using one of the following options:
- Enter a prompt: Type your request in the message field, and then select Send . You can select an artboard or object on the canvas or attach a reference file to provide additional context.
- Select a chat card: Select a suggested prompt, such as Create a brand kit or Set up artboards, in the AI Assistant panel to start a guided conversation.
- Use a slash command: Type / in the message field to view available commands. Select a command, enter any additional details, and then select Send or press Enter (Windows) or Return (macOS).
To add context, select an artboard or element on the canvas, or select Attach to upload a file. Tell the AI Assistant how to use the file, what outcome you want, and what to keep unchanged.
Prompt example: Create three blank artboards for a square post, a story, and a wide banner. Leave existing artboards as they are.
Answer any follow-up questions, review the response and any changes on the canvas, and then type follow-up messages in the same chat to refine the result.
Note
