Adobe Built a Commercially Safe Audio Suite Directly Into Firefly

Intelligence: Adobe Firefly's audio generation tools, covering music, voiceovers and sound effects, have moved out of limited release and are now available to all users. The update lands alongside a free tier for Firefly AI Assistant and a new model option built for creators who start with video, audio or image prompts instead of text.

  • Generate Music produces original tracks tuned to a video's length and mood, built to be used commercially without takedown risk.

  • Generate Speech turns a written script into a voiceover with adjustable pacing and emotion, using either Adobe's own model or ElevenLabs.

  • Generate Sound Effects builds custom audio matched to the timing and energy of a scene.

  • A Berklee College of Music survey found that every video creator, musician and marketer polled reported using music in their videos.

  • Firefly AI Assistant now offers a free version with daily generations, alongside skills like Create Storyboard and Create Brand Kit.

  • Google's Gemini Omni Flash joins Firefly's model lineup, and it accepts video, audio and image prompts in addition to text.

🎁REFERRAL REWARDS

If TIW has been useful, invite one friend or coworker who’d actually use AI/automation at work.

ChatGPT Can Now Read Missed Texts and Send Replies From the Desktop

Intelligence: OpenAI has released a ChatGPT plugin that connects to Apple's Messages app on Mac, letting the chatbot search past conversations and draft replies. The rollout requires a chain of permissions most people would not grant by accident, and it arrives at an awkward moment between the two companies.

  • The plugin is currently limited to ChatGPT Work and Codex users on Mac.

  • Setup requires granting ChatGPT access to on-device Messages history, Full Disk Access in System Settings, and contact names.

  • OpenAI said that the plugin does not build an index of a user's texts and only reads a thread when explicitly prompted.

  • Any reply ChatGPT drafts needs explicit approval before it gets sent.
