Adobe, Canva, and CapCut are integrating their creative tools into Google's Gemini app, allowing users to access image and video editing capabilities directly within the AI chatbot.

The three companies plan to connect their platforms to Gemini in the coming months, embedding editing features at the point where users are making creative decisions with AI assistance. Adobe will bring its creative suite capabilities, Canva will offer its design tools, and CapCut will provide video editing functionality. The integrations position these services within Gemini's ecosystem, reducing friction for users who want to move between generating ideas and executing edits. The move reflects a broader trend of tech companies embedding third-party tools directly into AI interfaces. Rather than users jumping between separate apps, the integrations keep workflow within a single platform. Google has been expanding Gemini's capabilities through partnerships, and these additions underscore the chatbot's evolution from a text-based tool into a more comprehensive creative assistant. The integrations are expected to roll out gradually over the coming months.
