The sneaks from Adobe were surprising, innovative and inspiring. Yet they also made my “spidey sense” tingle. It’s difficult to separate the benefits of AI as a tool from AI as a weapon, when things are scaling and evolving at a rapid pace. The average response from the Adobe product engineers when asked the question “how long have you been working on this feature?” was “ about 6 months.” To a non-product developer (like myself) 6 months seems ASTONISHING, especially based on the sophistication of what was showcased at #AdobeSneaks. Much like our trusty tool the exacto 🔪, this dual use technology will all depend on how responsibly we choose to wield it. The main difference being that the exacto doesn’t also have an AI agent to work with 😉. Stay tuned and see what makes it to market in the coming months. #adobemax #agenticai #ProjectMotionMap #ProjectCleanTake #Projectsurfaceswap #Projectnewdepths #ProjectLightTouch #ProjectSceneIt #ProjectTraceErase #ProjectFrameforward #ProjectSoundstager #ProjectTurnstyle

That “spidey sense” is well-earned. Six months to ship features of that complexity is wild—and a clear sign of how fast agentic AI is reshaping creative tooling. The dual-use tension is real: what empowers can also overwhelm, depending on how it's deployed and governed. The metaphor of the exacto 🔪 is spot-on—except now the blade thinks with you. What excites me most is the shift from passive tools to active collaborators. But with that comes the responsibility to design guardrails, not just features. Watching closely to see which of these sneaks make it to market—and how they’re framed for creators vs. corporations.
