Canva introduced Canva AI 2.0, transforming Canva into a conversational, agentic platform where teams can go from the spark of an idea to complete, published work in one place.

Powered by the Canva Design Model – a foundation model built to understand the structure, hierarchy, and complexity of real-world design – Canva AI 2.0 generates layered, editable output from a single prompt, and gets smarter the more you use it.

Available as a research preview, Canva AI 2.0 introduces a new architecture layer spanning conversational design, iterative agentic editing, layered object intelligence, and living memory, alongside six new intelligent workflows: connectors, scheduling, web research, brand intelligence, Sheets AI, and Canva Code 2.0.

Conversational design Describe an idea, goal, or rough structure, and Canva AI generates an editable design with layout, hierarchy, and brand, then stays with you throughout the process.

Agentic orchestration gives Canva AI access to Canva’s complete design engine, calling the right tools at the right time.

Layered object intelligence everything Canva AI generates is built from scratch using individual, editable objects.

Memory Library turns interactions into building blocks. With persistent memory, Canva AI 2.0 understands how you work, keeps every project on brand, and applies your style automatically.

Adobe unveiled Firefly AI Assistant, powered by Adobe’s creative agent, bringing Adobe’s creative tools into a single conversational interface. Available soon in Adobe Firefly, an all-in-one creative AI studio, Firefly AI Assistant enables creators to describe the outcome they want using their own words as the assistant orchestrates and executes complex, multi-step workflows across Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps, including Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Express, Illustrator and more.

For creators of all levels, this shift to agentic creation simplifies the process of getting started and making progress quickly without navigating multiple apps or manual steps. For creative professionals, it unlocks the ability to direct more complex, multi-step workflows, combining speed with the control and precision required for high-quality creative work.

Adobe also expanded Firefly’s video and image editing capabilities, introducing new features in Firefly Video Editor including studio-quality sound, advanced color adjustments and Adobe Stock integration, as well as new precision image editing capabilities such as Precision Flow and AI Markup.

Adobe will also bring this new way of creating with Adobe apps to third-party AI models including Anthropic’s Claude, enabling creators to access the best of Adobe directly across the surfaces where they work every day.
