Adobe introduces AI assistant to help enterprises exploit data held in PDFs

Adobe has unveiled a new artificial intelligence assistant that integrates with its widely used Acrobat PDF software, promising to help enterprise workers save hours each week by making it easier to extract insights and information from digital documents.

Acrobat AI Assistant for enterprise is an add-on to Adobe’s Acrobat product that will enable employees to quickly generate summaries of lengthy, complex documents, get answers to specific questions, create initial drafts of written content, and navigate to relevant sections of a report through clickable citations.

Adobe employees in sales and in research and development are already using it internally, according to Toni Vanwinkle, Adobe’s Vice President of Digital Employee Experience. “AI assistant really helps our employees work smarter,” she said. “Unlocking information in the enterprise is really one of those key things to foster productivity for knowledge workers.”
