AI Assistant
An AI Assistant is a type of intelligent software that leverages artificial intelligence to perform tasks and provide assistance across various domains. This can range from automating repetitive tasks, enhancing user productivity, providing personalized recommendations, or generating content. In the context of image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop, an AI Assistant integrates with these applications to offer advanced capabilities such as automated layer management and generative design.
