‘Users have now generated over half a billion assets on the Firefly website and in Photoshop, making these two of our most successful beta releases in company history’ – Adobe CFO Dan Durn
Focus op de impact van generatieve AI en het afhandelen van de overname van Figma. Management verwacht de deal tegen eind 2023 af te ronden.
Vraag over FireFly tijdens earnings call: ‘Can you just add some context around early demand signals and how you’re expecting this to show up both on the user side of the market and just the overall velocity of content generation?’

(…) And we have seen incredible social buzz. The Photoshop community is doing what it always does and is using the product, both Firefly and Photoshop, in ways that we didn’t even think of when we were initially building the feature set. So it’s great to see all this organic development and buzz coming up.
And as we talked about, we’re also excited about what this means from a business opportunity perspective. On the retention side, we think the value that we add in the flagship applications are going to be great for existing users. In terms of top of funnel, we think that this helps us reach billions of new users because it makes the act of creating more accessible with regard to conversion. We are very excited about what this can mean for new user onboarding, both Photoshop and Illustrator and also in Express that makes the onboarding of new customers especially early success far more achievable for them.
It introduces new offers with adobe.com/firefly as a destination that we can monetize and everything that we talked about at Summit last week around what this can be as an enterprise-grade offering. And of course, with all of this, we have an opportunity to sell subscription credit packs for upsell opportunities. So if you net all that out, we see an ARPU opportunity. We see a net number of users opportunity, and also because of retention, an LTV opportunity.
Now we expect all of this to play out over many years. We’re very focused right now on user acquisition. None of this, we expect to impact our Q3 numbers. And we’ll start to see some of it in Q4 but we don’t expect it to be material. But as I mentioned, we expect to see it ramp over the next few years. And we’ll share more specifics of this in the months ahead.’
