What is Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant?
Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant is a conversational feature in Acrobat that lets you interact with your documents to get quick answers to questions based on the PDF content in a comprehensive and informative way. It links to the text and data table sources within your document and also suggests follow-up questions based on the primary question. Since June 2024, it supports AI recommendations across multiple documents (up to 10 documents), with more exiting features, increased capabilities and language support to come over the coming months.
What is Generative Summary?
With Generative Summary, users automatically get a document outline with headings and section-specific key points to help them easily find, discern, and navigate essential information they need on demand.
AI Assistant: Your easy time-saver when handling documents
The generative AI features in Acrobat were built on Adobe’s unique expertise of PDF structure and content. The ability to deeply understand PDFs enables AI Assistant to analyze and surface insights from digital documents with greater precision and will allow Adobe to continue to refine the outputs in the future.
- Insights you can trust. AI Assistant looks only at the documents you tell it to. Adobe’s unique proprietary technology generates verifiable insights across one or many documents, with attributions back to the source—so you can be assured you’re accessing credible information.
- Writing made easy. Empower your team to create high-quality professional content for emails, blogs, presentations, research summaries, and more. Use the responses from AI Assistant to get the write-up you need and produce your deliverables in less time.
- Easy to use. Deploy in minutes. Getting started with AI Assistant is fast and easy. Deployment only takes minutes, delivering fast time to value. Users will get instant access to AI Assistant integrated within Acrobat where they are used to consuming and editing PDFs. AI Assistant will only look at the documents you tell it to, providing streamlined AI data governance.
