Ten Cool Things I’ve Sent My Adobe Friends
“My love language is sending unwanted bespoke newsletters.” So said someone once, and damn if it’s not the same with me. I’m forever DM’ing interesting Twitter finds to friends working across the industry.
Just in case they’d be of interest to you, here are ten recent things I’ve forwarded to a couple of pals who are exploring AI & creativity at Adobe. I figure, the more we can compare notes, the better we can work together on behalf of creative people.
So, here goes—in simple reverse chronological order:

Dribbble meets Pinterest, but your coding agent can read it.
Discover designs you love, save them to Taste, and Claude Code or Codex builds with your taste. No more AI slop.

Motion to Code is now on fal.
Describe an animation, or drop in an image or a video, and get back editable code: a GSAP page or a looping GLSL shader.
A few KB instead of MBs of video. Sharp at any resolution. https://t.co/IQe11ivKqu

A few thoughts on agentic video editing after 3M longform YouTube views, edited using agents:
1. Agentically edited content has a “look”: it’s heavy on motion graphics (since they are easy to make with code), lots of text, heavily animated. To stand out, we’ve been spending lots of time making our system do things that make it not look like that (custom shaders, imperfection added on purpose, ..)
1. In 1 year 90% of videos will be edited fully agentically, the remaining will use agentic bits with some human editing to polish
2. Making one video is easy, building a system and process that scales to multiple ones is much harder. We built a harness for claude that analyzes script, creates storyboards in Paper to iterate on and animates dozens of animations per video at scale, with human feedback on Flask.
3. One person with their agent is easy. As soon as you have a team, it gets 10x harder because you need to share code. GitHub is too complex and not built for this. We use Flask .do (frame io for agents) to store video, code and context into each version so everyone can just pull from there
4. MCPs for traditional tools like DaVinci, After Effects are slow and token intensive and in most cases are not worth it. Headless is the future, the hard part remains the tweaking and that’s still unsolved

We were spending $2,000 per DAY on generations for WEEKS on this film until we figured out this one trick.
I can’t believe we didn’t do this sooner!
