AI Assistant is now live in InDesign 21.4 (Beta)

InDesign AI Assistant just launched in public beta and we are excited for you to try it.

What is AI Assistant in InDesign?

It's your conversational partner built directly within InDesign. It can help you build skills and create production-ready InDesign documents faster. Instead of digging through tutorials, simply ask the AI Assistant "How do I create a table of contents?" and learn as you go. Or save time by having it set up your layout and apply bulk text/image/style edits with a single prompt.

Why it matters

Designers spend a huge amount of time on repetitive tasks and navigating menus, and when you get stuck, context-switching to YouTube or Help pages breaks your flow. AI Assistant changes that:

• Speed up your workflow: Automate multi-step workflows with natural language prompts.

• Guidance on demand: Get instant, in-context answers without leaving the app.

• Stay in your creative flow: Fewer interruptions, more designing.

How to try it

1. Open the Creative Cloud desktop app and go to Apps > Beta.
2. Download or update to InDesign (Beta), version 21.4. For more information on how to update the app, click here. 
3. Once open, find the AI Assistant panel in the top bar (next to the Share button), in the contextual taskbar, or via File > AI Assistant.

Your feedback is gold. Here's how to send it our way:
