- Who it helps
- Designers and developers evaluating AI-assisted graphics with editable source files.
- Availability
- Version 1.18 was listed on October 25. Desktop builds cover Windows, Linux and Apple-silicon Macs on macOS 12 or later; a browser build is also available.
Keep the source editable
The editor supports text, vector shapes, masks and smart objects in PSD documents. Its desktop AI-control setup connects a compatible assistant to document operations. A useful trial would save the source, reopen it and inspect the individual layers after a requested edit.
Check the correct build
The Help menu’s AI-control setup supplies instructions for the desktop connector. The browser build cannot perform this role. The author’s compatibility corpus is evidence about that test set; it does not guarantee an arbitrary production PSD round trip.
What you can do
- Read the desktop setup page and inspect a disposable layered file before using the connector on production artwork. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
No editor installation, connector session or file round trip was executed. Assistant access and charges depend on the client; exact total workflow cost was not established.

- · Added to Current
Patchy is a graphics editor whose desktop connector lets an assistant inspect and change a document while keeping editable layers. The browser version lacks that connector.
