Run a supervised Factory of AI agent teams that releases only what you approve
For Designers, photographers, editors and creative producers using Adobe tools to develop, refine and deliver visual assets
Everything for Adobe creativesBuild three AI agent teams on one shared production record, carry a late label change through every size, and give the creative owner a release they can approve, return or hold item by item.

How it works
A tutor that meets you where you are
- Lessons that adapt to your levelSeven self-paced lessons across three modules. The AI tutor works one-on-one and adjusts explanations and exercises to what you already know about layered editing, Firefly and single production agents.
- An AI tutor you can ask anythingType or speak your questions while you work, for example how to word a stop condition, what belongs in a handoff table, or why a reflection counts as a derived layer. The tutor helps you do the exercises a live trainer would otherwise run.
- Quizzes and flashcards for each lessonShort quizzes and flashcards tied to each lesson check that you can apply the rules, such as which decisions stay with people and what makes an export stale.
- Progress tracking and a certificateTrack your progress through the modules, and receive a certificate of completion when you finish.
Curriculum
The curriculum
The course follows one product job from start to finish: an olive-oil bottle on a stone table, delivered in nine sizes, where the bottle in the picture has to match the bottle on the shelf. In three modules you connect the teams, carry a creative change through the set, and then refine the process and record the release.
Module 1Connect the proactive AI agent teams around one asset brief.2 lessons
1Assign the proactive production AI agent teams
- Explain why a set of single-job agents can let a stale layer reach every size without anyone noticing
- Assign the Brief and References, Image Production, and Quality and Delivery teams to the olive-oil brief, each with a named human steward
- Write each team's rules: what it accepts, what it returns, when it stops and whom it escalates to
- Separate the decisions that stay with people (image approval, permissions, client contact, label sign-off) from the work the teams may do
2Set the handoff requirements
- Build a shared production record with asset IDs, accepted references, source versions, permission status, review notes, export requirements and a client-permission field that only the producer fills in
- Build a handoff table that says what each team must pass on and what the receiving team checks before accepting it
- Choose Dots or Claude Duet and configure it to follow the approved record, returning traceable versions, precise edit requests and an outstanding-defect list
- Test that a receiving team rejects an attractive packet built on a superseded brief
Module 2Carry a creative change through the asset set.2 lessons
3Run the production handoffs
- Run a scoped batch through Brief and References, Image Production, and Quality and Delivery using prepared files
- Trace every returned version back to its asset ID, source version and brief version in the shared record
- Handle blocked work so that a stalled item is recorded with an owner and does not move downstream
- Restart the run from the shared record alone and note what the record failed to tell you
4Reconcile a changed reference
- Bring a revised label and a new photograph into the record as a new accepted source without deleting the old one
- Identify every affected size and mark its derived layers, such as shadows and reflections, as stale
- Rebuild the affected sizes and block outdated exports from delivery
- Confirm the fix by inspecting the images at viewing scale, not only by reading the record
Module 3Approve the process for the next brief.3 lessons
5Refine the proactive AI agent team instructions
- Analyse the Day 9 defect list, rejections and restart gaps to find which rules failed or were missing
- Revise reference rules, revision limits, retries and escalation for each team
- Record each rule change in the shared record with its version, date and the approving steward
- Test the revised instructions by repeating the restart from the shared record
6Process a second sample brief
- Set up a second sample brief in the shared record using files you are allowed to use
- Run the batch through the refined teams and check every output against the delivery matrix
- Compare the second run with the first and name which defects recurred and which rule changes worked
7Record creative release
- Prepare a release record in which the creative owner approves, returns or holds each item, with a reason for every return or hold
- Name the person who may authorize delivery and record that authorization separately from the agents' work
- Write the record so it answers likely client review questions before they are asked
- Test that another operator can find the current brief, accepted source, final variants and any blocking decision
Who it’s for
Made for you if…
Made for: Designers, photographers, editors and creative producers using Adobe tools to develop, refine and deliver visual assets
A retoucher or designer working alone who already runs single production agents
You have intake, variant and delivery agents working, but nobody is keeping track of the whole set. This course adds the shared record and team rules that catch a stale layer before it reaches every size.
A creative producer at a small studio
You own permissions, client contact and the final signature. You will learn to keep those decisions with people and build a release record that answers client review questions before they are asked.
A photographer delivering product images in many formats
Late label changes and new photographs close to delivery are part of your job. You will practise carrying one change through every affected variant and checking the result at viewing scale.
Questions
Good to know
What do I need to know before starting?
You should already edit non-destructively in Photoshop with the original locked, direct Firefly one change at a time while recording prompts and references, and inspect contact shadows, reflections, glass edges, perspective and label text at viewing scale. You should also have set up a bounded proactive agent in OpenAI Dots or Claude Duet and worked with edit packets, a format-spec matrix and a delivery review. Earlier days of the track cover these, or you can bring equivalent experience.
What software and files do I need?
Access to Photoshop, Firefly, and either OpenAI Dots or Claude Duet, plus sample files you are allowed to use.
Do I have to use Dots, or can I use Claude Duet?
Either works. You pick one and configure it to follow the approved record across team handoffs. The course does not compare or benchmark AI vendors or models.
Will the agents approve images or contact my client?
No. Image approval, permission decisions, client contact and label sign-off stay with people. The agents return traceable versions, edit requests and outstanding defects, and the creative owner approves, returns or holds each item.
Does the course teach me how to build single agents from scratch?
No. Building intake, concept, edit-packet, variant and delivery-check agents is earlier work in the track. This Capstone connects agents like these into supervised teams.
Does it cover image rights or advertising law?
It shows you where to flag those questions for a person, for example through the producer-owned client-permission field. It does not give legal advice on image rights, consent or advertising law.
Does it cover video or motion work?
No. Motion, timeline and audio editing in Premiere Pro or After Effects are outside this course.
How long does it take, and will I end up with a finished campaign?
Plan on about 18 hours. You build and test a controlled production process on small sample batches, not a full client campaign or an enterprise system.
