Thursday's AI news was defined by two converging forces: the agentic era arriving inside tools that millions of creators already use, and another wave of capital flooding the infrastructure beneath it. Adobe brought autonomous AI agents into Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Vercel released an open-source framework purpose-built for shipping agents to production. And the funding story stayed loud — General Intuition, Dream, and Convey all closed or announced major rounds on the same day.
