Adobe Launches Acrobat AI Assistant

Adobe announced today the immediate availability of its Acrobat AI Assistant, an add-on subscription for all customers.

“For more than three decades, PDFs and Adobe Acrobat have been a cornerstone of communication and collaboration in the enterprise and with generative AI, we’re redefining productivity for every single employee,” Adobe senior vice president Abhigyan Modi says. “Acrobat AI Assistant dramatically reduces time spent reading and searching for information, enabling employees to develop insights faster and slash the time they spend creating content.”

Acrobat AI Assistant is available as an add-on subscription to all Reader and Acrobat enterprise and individual customers across desktop, web and mobile, Adobe says. It’s described as a generative AI-powered conversational engine—a chatbot, basically—that generates insights with intelligent citations, emails, reports, presentations and more, all based on information in PDF and other documents. For businesses, these features are governed by data security protocols, and it can be easily deployed in just minutes.

In addition to PDFs, Acrobat AI Assistant supports Word, PowerPoint, and other popular productivity document types. It recommends and answers questions, summarizes documents, provides verifiable citations to ensure accuracy, and recommends top takeaways that users can add to email messages, presentations, blogs, reports and more. You can also “copy” co-workers about compelling content (i.e. “share”) like it’s the 1990s all over again.
