Make GenAI tools to be able to use selected artwork as context
As a branding designer, I often build my layouts directly in Illustrator before using AI tools.
Illustrator's generative AI tools, especially Text to Vector Graphic, should be able to use selected Illustrator objects as design context.
Currently, the AI generates new content without understanding the editable artwork already on the artboard. It ignores selected text, vector paths, colors, gradients, and layouts, which makes it difficult to maintain a consistent design language in professional branding workflows.
I suggest adding a "Use Selected Artwork as Context" option. This would allow the AI to understand selected Illustrator objects and generate graphics that match the existing typography, colors, vector structure, and layout while keeping the artwork editable.
This feature would significantly improve branding, packaging, editorial design, and brand book workflows by making Illustrator's AI work with the existing design instead of starting from scratch.
