AI Assistant (Beta) in InDesign 22.0 lets you explore, create and edit content, layouts and objects using plain-language prompts. Make quick changes while keeping the parts of your design you want intact, ask questions about InDesign, and run multi-step workflows.

To Open AI Assistant, use any of these:

Select AI Assistant from the Contextual Task Bar.
Choose Window > AI Assistant or File > AI Assistant.
Select the AI Assistant icon in the top-right corner.

Get started

Enter a prompt in the AI Assistant panel. You can modify layouts, ask questions about InDesign, or run multi-step workflows. See the AI Assistant capabilities page for what’s possible.
Attach files if you need them: select the attachment icon, or drag files into the panel.
Send your prompt: select Send Prompt, or press Enter (Windows) or Return (macOS).
Review the changes directly in your document.
Tell us how it went with the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon and the feedback option.

Example prompts to try:

“Tighten the margins on all pages and keep my master page items.”
“Summarize the attached brief into a 50-word intro.”

Suggestions to help you start

Welcome suggestions: up to five suggested prompts appear when you open the panel. Select a chip to fill the prompt field.
Follow-up suggestions: after each response, two or three chips suggest a next step. They disappear when you send a new message.
Manage your chat: Select the refresh icon to refresh the chat or workflow at any time.
Select the new chat icon to clear the current chat and start fresh.
