Hightail Releases Chatbot Within the Adobe Creative Cloud to Intelligently Manage Creative Projects


Hightail today unveiled at the Adobe (News - Alert) Max Conference a new Adobe extension that allows designers to share creative files for review and approval externally, capture notes as guidance for reviewers and view feedback and tasks all without leaving the Creative Cloud. With the Hightail extension, designers can continue to produce work without interrupting their creative flow, cutting out the process of switching between multiple file sharing, project management and communication tools.

Designers, project managers and marketers know that the creative process can be painstaking; once a concept is approved, designers go through a number of revisions. Between the tools they use to share work, post statusupdates and collect feedback, the time spent on organizing work diminishes the actual time it takes for creative development. Translating that time is costing agencies and businesses a significant chunk of change.



"We've come from a history of servicing creative professionals, from our first days as a file sharing pioneer (YouSendIt), to today with features that speed up the creative review and approval process. Hightail's Adobe extension has been built from the ground up for designers. We worked side-by-side with designers and creative agencies to ensure we were building an extension to suit modern workflows," said Ranjith Kumaran, Founder and CEO of Hightail. "Based on our years of serving creative customers we had clear goals to solve designers' needs: to deliver an extension that not only kept designers in the Adobe environment, but also offered an intelligent, conversational way to publish new work, signal it's ready for review and provide guidance for reviewers."

What sets the extension apart from traditional Adobe Exchange integrations is a sleek UI coupled with modern command-line controls to synchronize files, comments, follow-ups and approvals from Adobe's creative apps into Hightail's creative collaboration solution. From the designer's perspective, they have the ability to send information within the native production environment, while recipients view files, versions and comments within the Hightail application without needing to download files.


The Hightail extension for the Adobe Creative Cloud is now available in the Adobe Exchange, and will be coming soon to additional creative platforms.
