Setting Up a Bounded AI Agent for Delivery Spec Checks
For Designers, photographers, editors and creative producers using Adobe tools to develop, refine and deliver visual assets
Everything for Adobe creativesFor creative producers and designers managing high-volume asset sets: learn to delegate routine technical export checks to an AI agent while ensuring visual sign-off and source verification remain in human hands.

How it works
A tutor that meets you where you are
- Adaptive LessonsThe course material is not static. Lessons adapt to your current skill level in real-time, ensuring you spend time on new concepts without repeating what you already know.
- Personal AI TutorYou have a dedicated AI tutor available for every lesson. You can ask for deeper explanations or specific examples using typed text or voice commands for a true one-on-one experience.
- Active Learning ToolsEach lesson is reinforced with interactive quizzes and digital flashcards. These tools are tied directly to the curriculum to help you commit technical specifications and workflows to memory.
- Progress TrackingKeep a clear view of your journey with a visual progress tracker. Once you have mastered all the modules and passed the requirements, you will receive a certificate of completion.
Curriculum
The curriculum
This course is divided into two modules focusing on the technical setup of your agent and the design of the human-AI handoff.
Module 1Defining the Bounded Agent2 lessons
1Defining Technical Delivery Specs
- Write explicit technical specifications for an AI agent to check.
- Define stop conditions for missing inputs or unknown permissions.
2Managing the Asset Register
- Set up a linked-asset register for verification.
- Assign asset IDs and permission statuses to incoming requests.
Module 2Designing the Handoff3 lessons
3Handling Variant Conflicts
- Configure an agent to flag composition conflicts.
- Distinguish between technical correctness and visual composition.
4Separating Technical and Visual Checks
- Design a handoff that treats technical completeness and visual acceptance as separate stages.
- Establish a system to block technically valid files that fail visual review.
5The Human Steward Sign-off
- Create a workflow for a human steward to sign off on final releases.
- Manage a short exception list to streamline final delivery.
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
Creative Producers
You manage high-volume asset sets across multiple platforms and channels. You need a system that ensures every export matches the brief without spending your entire afternoon on manual checks.
Senior Designers
You want to automate the repetitive parts of delivery—like naming, dimensions, and color profiles—without risking a bot approving a file that looks wrong. You need to keep the final visual sign-off firmly in your own hands.
Production Artists
You are responsible for the technical accuracy of final exports and layered files. You need a way to block technically valid files that lack an editable source or fail a visual review before they reach the client.
Studio Managers
You oversee the handoff between production and delivery. You need to establish a clear record of asset IDs and permissions to prevent guessed references and eliminate errors in the final delivery set.
Questions
Good to know
Does this course teach how to generate images with AI?
No. This course focuses specifically on defining delivery specs, permissions, and stop conditions for agents that check exports, rather than generative image creation.
Will the AI agent replace the need for a visual review?
No. You will learn to design a handoff process that treats technical completeness and visual acceptance as separate stages, ensuring a technically valid file never bypasses a visual review.
What happens if an export is the right size but the image looks wrong?
You will learn to configure your agent to flag composition conflicts, such as a crop that ruins the intended image. This prevents the agent from blindly marking a technically correct file as 'passed' when it is visually incorrect.
How does the course handle missing sources or unknown permissions?
You will define exact stop conditions for your agent so it pauses when it encounters missing inputs or unknown permissions. This prevents the agent from guessing references or treating unknown status as approval.
What is a linked-asset register and why is it included?
It is a record that tracks asset IDs, source versions, and permission statuses. This system ensures that every export is tied to a verified editable source, preventing the use of guessed or incorrect references.
What are the prerequisites for taking this course?
You should have intermediate experience with Adobe Photoshop and layered file exports. A basic understanding of delivery specifications, such as dimensions and color profiles, is also required.
How does the final sign-off process work in this workflow?
You will create a workflow where a human steward provides the final visual release. This is streamlined by using a short exception list, allowing the steward to focus only on flagged issues rather than every single asset.
