Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly empowers designers to transform ideas into high-quality visuals instantly through intelligent, text-based generation.

Firefly can generate mood boards, material palettes, facade studies, and atmospheric visualizations/ collages that help communicate ideas early in the design process. Unlike traditional rendering engines, it provides fast iteration and stylistic variety. New workflows can integrate Firefly outputs directly into Photoshop or Illustrator for post-processing, allowing hybrid workflows where AI-generated content is merged with CAD drawings, BIM exports, or hand sketches.

Overall can be very useful for concept development and idea generation.
