Adobe's Concept AI has been rebranded as Firefly Boards, offering the opportunity for beta participation
**Introducing Firefly Boards: Adobe's AI-Powered Creative Canvas**
Adobe has unveiled Firefly Boards, a revolutionary browser-based platform that merges generative AI technology with creative ideation and collaboration. Originally known as Project Concept, Firefly Boards is now integrated into Adobe's Creative Cloud ecosystem, primarily available to Creative Cloud Pro subscribers.
This innovative tool is designed to streamline the creative process by providing an infinite canvas for moodboarding, storyboarding, and AI-generated images. Firefly Boards seamlessly integrates with Adobe's suite of creative applications such as Photoshop and Adobe Express, enabling users to create, collaborate, and produce content more efficiently.
### Key Features of Firefly Boards
Firefly Boards offers a unique blend of features that make it an invaluable asset for creatives. Here are some of its standout elements:
* **Generative AI Integration:** Firefly Boards allows users to generate images, videos, and other media directly within their boards using Adobe's own Firefly AI models as well as third-party generative AI models from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, and others.
* **Third-party AI Model Support:** One of Firefly Boards' most notable features is its ability to support multiple third-party AI models within the same platform. This flexibility enables users to choose the AI that best fits their creative needs while maintaining rigorous intellectual property safety and transparency standards.
* **Creative Collaboration and Organization:** Firefly Boards supports real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to ideate, organize, and refine projects together within a shared digital space. Users can add images, sketches, and references, which can then be manipulated and enhanced using AI tools. The platform also helps in organizing creative assets into presentation-ready layouts with a single click and synchronizes updates across linked Adobe documents, such as those in Photoshop.
* **Advanced AI Features:** Beyond simple image generation, Firefly Boards provides advanced capabilities such as style and composition referencing, background removal, generative fill and expand, and now video generation directly from the board. These features enable creators to explore complex visual ideas early in the design process without requiring manual editing for every iteration.
* **Content Credentials and Transparency:** To respect artists' rights and ensure transparency, Firefly Boards uses Content Credentials, recognizing the source and creation methods of images and enforcing generative AI usage and training preferences.
