Designer designworkplan sums up Adobe MAX with the takeaway "AI is becoming the assistant, not the artist", highlighting three features:

Photoshop Relight: set up to three lights right on the canvas while keeping the original untouched
Illustrator AI Assistant: runs a print preflight and fixes critical issues automatically
Firefly Design: brings vectors, type, 3D and motion onto one canvas, with Brand Check catching off-brand colors

A commenter adds they'd love an InDesign MCP next.
