Adobe for creativity in Claude supports 50+ tools for in-chat branded asset workflows

Multiple creator demos showed Adobe for creativity in Claude handling template swaps, recolors, animation, and asset actions inside a single chat, with a second walkthrough covering skills-based setup.

GPT Image 2 adds character sheets and 10-shot storyboards before Seedance animation
