The claim, plainly

Coveo powers Salesforce's AppExchange and is embedded within Adobe Photoshop.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

Both legs of the claim are substantiated by official case studies, industry awards, and analyst documentation. Regarding the first leg, Salesforce deployed Coveo's AI-powered search and recommendation technology to power discoverability across its AppExchange marketplace, as corroborated in customer case studies and recognized by Forrester analysts. Regarding the second leg, Coveo's search technology was embedded directly into Adobe Photoshop's in-product search interface to query tools, UI elements, Adobe Stock assets, and CC Learn documentation, earning Adobe Coveo's Innovation Award in December 2017 prior to the 2018 claim.
