Canva targets business users with generative AI-powered tools

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. Canva, the popular Australian-based graphic design platform, is boosting its efforts to target enterprise business users with today's release of Canva Docs, part of its Visual Worksuite that was launched in September. Generative AI plays a big role in the release: Canva Docs incorporates the company's recently-released text-to-image beta built on Stable Diffusion, as well as the newly-announced Magic Write, an AI-powered copywriting assistant built on OpenAI's GPT-3. Cameron Adams, cofounder and chief product officer of Canva, says that in 2015 the company started allowing users to create presentations in Canva, which "was a real pivotal moment," he explained. During COVID-19, he added, remote-working employees needed to communicate with colleagues differently and were looking for tools.
