Project Overview
Co-Pilot is an AI-powered design assistant currently in development within Adobe Express. It’s designed to help users learn, create, and gain confidence through a context-aware, in-product toolbar. Built on Adobe’s machine learning platform, Co-Pilot offers real-time support and creative suggestions, blending seamlessly into the Express interface. The project began as an experimental initiative and has since evolved into the foundation for a scalable AI assistance framework that aligns with the growing demand for in-app guidance and intelligent tooling.

My Role – UX Lead Designer, Strategic Partner to PM & Engineering
I joined at the earliest concept stage to help shape the product vision and UX approach. Working in close collaboration with a senior designer, I led design exploration and prototyping to define the assistant’s core functionality and interaction model. I partnered cross-functionally with PMs, researchers, and engineers to align on technical feasibility and future-proof the experience for emerging AI capabilities and evolving user needs.

Impact

Identified Key interactions and framework that helped guide the vision for the product roadmap. The project was greenlit.

Outcome

Validate design and vision for an AI assistant in context of Adobe Express, where and what behaviors. Users still expect to interact in a chat for help. Prioritize features: Color suggestions and writing assistance were most needed.
