Canva deployed Canva AI, a conversational AI assistant embedded across its platform that generates designs, images, documents, code, and video from natural-language prompts, available to all users.

Launched at Canva Create 2025 in April 2025, Canva AI combines in-house models, Leonardo.Ai's Phoenix image generation model, and partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic into a single chat-style interface. Users type or speak a request and Canva AI produces fully editable design drafts, written copy, images, or interactive code widgets. A research preview of Canva AI 2.0 was announced in April 2026, introducing persistent memory, agentic orchestration, and connectors to third-party tools like Slack, Gmail, and HubSpot. The assistant is available on all Canva plans, with usage limits varying by tier.
