Codify reference patterns: creative workflow blueprints for prompt/evaluation pipelines, variant generation at scale, approvals, and cost/performance guardrails – including end-to-end propagation of content and distribution
Unblock the hardest problems: lead spikes for brand/style constraints, visual fidelity, latency/throughput for campaign bursts, multilingual quality, and watermarking/attribution
Integrate the stack: design integrations across Creative Cloud apps (e.g., Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Substance 3D, Frame.io), Firefly APIs/Services, Workfront, and enterprise DAM/MAM; ensure a single source of truth from presales to delivery
