"A picture is worth a thousand words!"

Today, two exciting use cases for the new vision feature of MATE emerged. Amybeth Menendez and Jean-Claude Tremblay shared posts highlighting its potential.

Rather than explaining, simply draw a scribble and ask MATE to do it.

Use MATE for the Simple Things #4
Apply any number sequence you can think of.

I recently saw one of those short Illustrator tutorial videos in which someone needed to add the numbers for a calendar layout.

The prompt:
"Number the 31 selected text items from 01 to 31 in order of selection."

Sneak peek: Agent Mode for MATE

I got a messy Illustrator file and asked MATE to clean it up.

"Agent Mode" is not about writing scripts. MATE can understand your document, retrieve information on layers, artboards, used font styles, etc., and then act on that.

"Script Mode" is still there.

GPT-5 arrived in MATE!

I know there are a lot of opinions about it. But I find it to be an amazing model for MATE! Imho, it's better than Claude 4.

1/2 MATE demo time

Ask MATE to open an image in Photoshop from InDesign, save it to another format and relink it in InDesign 🚀

A real time-saver when working with images in InDesign.

Wow! MATE just got a 7-page feature in CreativePro #46!
A proud milestone for MATE (and me).

It’s a fantastic deep dive covering features, scripts, and real-world use cases.

Thank you CreativePro Network for the spotlight!

Still some work to do, but it’s shaping up nicely… stay tuned!

MATE Gets Eyes!

Use it for transcription, pasting alerts and error messages, or adding screenshots of your document or layers in your Illustrator file.

Use MATE for the Simple Things #3

Suppose you have a set of items with a background frame, and you want all items to be on an Artboard (and remove the background frame).
June 16, 2025 at 9:00 AM
Use MATE for the Simple Things #2

There's no need to search for alternative methods in Illustrator. I asked MATE to rename 48 layers, and it did it in seconds.
June 14, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Use MATE for the simple things

Resetting nested items to 100% opacity, even when items are on different levels and layers.

I don’t even bother checking if there's another way.
I just ask MATE to do it.
In 5 seconds, it’s all done.

"1. chat actually is a great interface, not a bug"
Josh Miller, The Browser Company

Exactly my words. Something a flexible as AI needs a versatile and flexible UI - which is chat.

Preview 👀 MATE Becomes Agentic!
(Last weekend, I had the chance to push this forward.)

MATE on its own decides to:
1. Find all texts
2. Spell-check content
3. Correct texts

Why is this relevant?
MATE gets context on its own.
This was not possible before!

More to come!

New Adobe Express Add-on ⚡️
Simple but much needed: a properties panel to set x, y, width, height, and rotation. I miss it every time I work with Express.

Bonus: set properties for all selected items in one go.

Ok, Sam Altman just confirmed that OpenAI and all products will support MCP. This is big.

My goal for MATE (for Illustrator) is to help designers to create generative designs/generative art.
Similar to the cover of this fantastic book by Daniel Shiffman.
@shiffman.lol

Now with MATE you can. Ask it to create flow fields and similar things. Then the tweaking starts. Enjoy 🚀

This is cool. What if there is a plugin that writes and runs code for you - without needing a console or code or knowing how to code. The plugin is called MATE, and it uses AI to help you writing helping scripts.

This is such a cool use case for MATE for InDesign.

Here, Laurent created a script with MATE that colors cells based on their content. This is the perfect how AI can provide value because it "understands" your context and helps you to achieve better results (not only faster results). Thanks! ↓More
