Adobe's Firefly SFX (Beta), allows one to create sound effects with only a text prompt, and/or by using one's own voice to facilitate the timing and "energy" of the effect's output! I posted the research about a year ago, and now it's shipping! It's available to CC Pro and Firefly-only subscribers: For subscribers: https://lnkd.in/gcejyE_m If you don't have a subscription, here's an article that goes more in-depth: https://lnkd.in/gRpdteVn _ #Adobe #Firefly #SFX #AdobeFireflySFX #FireflySFX #SoundEffects #TextToAudio #VoiceToSFX #GenerativeAudio #Creative #Storytelling #Storyteller

They talked about the future of roles like product builders, and what might happen as AI becomes an even better creative partner. Yusuf Hilmi was on Build Great Products w/Chris Ashby - if you're working at the intersection of AI and product, this one's worth a listen.

Have you seen Meta’s latest AI breakthrough, MoCha (Movie Character Animator)? 🎬 MoCha generates lifelike, full-body character animations purely from speech audio and text prompts—no reference images or additional data needed. Characters exhibit impressive lip-sync accuracy, natural gestures, and even engaging multi-character interactions. This innovation opens exciting possibilities for digital assistants, virtual avatars, storytelling, education, and beyond.

Most deep tech brands lead with complexity. Quantum breakthroughs. AI models. Patents and roadmaps. But luxury brands learned long ago that the story of craft matters more than the craft itself. Taste isn’t about elitism—it’s about restraint. It’s knowing what not to show, what not to say, and when to let silence do the work. As deep technologies like AI and quantum computing move from the lab to the world, the companies that lead will be the ones who communicate with elegance, not excess. Because when everything is powerful, taste becomes the real differentiator.

Atmospheric Search is here! Our team sat down with designers from some of the top studios in the world. One consistent issue we heard was that during creative concepting, reference images will get used once and then disappear in to the file abyss. Atmospheric Search allows you to search through your reference image library by categories like aesthetic signal, systemic implication, emotional register, and cultural reference so that previous reference content can be easily located and included in new creative concepts.

Whether you'd like to learn how to use AI to control your designs or a developer willing to better understand agentic AI in image/video/3D pipelines, I strongly recommend to attend this DLI at NVIDIA #GTC26. Ashlee Martino-Tarr is one of the main presenter and I'll be a modest tech assistant if you really want to see me too.

AI imagery is everywhere—but not all of it is helping brands. “AI slop” happens when fast creation overtakes thoughtful intent, and the result looks… off. In Whirr’s latest post, we break down what AI slop is, why it happens, and a 7-step workflow for keeping your visuals sharp, believable, and brand-safe. 👉 Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/gqFw6Uxp #AI #CreativeStrategy #BrandSafety #WhirrMedia

AI is moving from experimentation into actual production workflows. 🎵 From sound design to video, we’re seeing tools that don’t just automate. They adapt, speed things up, and extend what’s possible with more focus on control, individuality and intent. Output’s Co-Producer with the new Re-Imagine feature is a good example. It doesn’t just add AI, it integrates it into the workflow in a way that fits real production. That’s the direction this should be heading.

There's a new UI pattern emerging for creative production and it doesn't have a name most people recognize yet. Intelligent canvas workflows. Not another AI tool. A different organizational principle entirely. Persistent pipelines where AI capabilities exist as modular, editable nodes in a visible graph. You build once, iterate anywhere, fork for variants, and rerun without rebuilding from scratch. The shift is simple: the unit of creative work is moving from the asset to the flow. I wrote about what this means for creative teams, the vocabulary forming around it, and why none of it matters without taste. https://lnkd.in/e-3Gev3k

Creative technology is moving fast. Every week new tools, models, and design shifts quietly change how creative work gets done. Some tools automate tasks. Some reshape entire workflows. Some simply remind us that design culture is still evolving. Here are a few things that caught my attention this week. → Luma launches AI agents that can run full creative workflows → Cinema 4D is coming to iPad with an AI 3D model generator → Autodesk introduces AI tools for faster 3D asset creation → Adobe adds an AI assistant directly inside Photoshop → Netflix acquires Ben Affleck’s AI filmmaking startup → Apple’s ads rediscover a playful design voice → Google Maps logo redesign sparks debate among designers Small signals. But together they show where creative technology is heading. Swipe through the carousel. ♻️ Repost if you find it useful. Follow for weekly updates on design and creative technology. Open to conversations on collaborations, workshops, and creative systems. #FutureCreative #CreativeTechnology #DesignIndustry #GenerativeAI #AIDesign #CreativeTools #MotionDesign #DesignNews #CreativeNews
