Adobe on Tuesday introduced AI Assistant in Reader and Acrobat products. Currently in beta, the AI-powered conversational engine can generate summaries and insights from long documents, answer questions, and format information for sharing in emails, reports, and presentations.

AI Assistant leverages the same artificial intelligence and machine learning models behind Acrobat Liquid Mode that supports responsive reading experiences for PDFs on mobile. These proprietary models provide a deep understanding of PDF structure and content, enhancing quality and reliability in AI Assistant outputs, the company shared in a release.
The AI Assistant can work across multiple documents, document types, and sources, instantly surfacing the most important information.
