Canva’s AI assistant can now call various tools to make designs for you

Canva has launched an AI assistant with tool-calling capabilities that automates design creation through natural language prompts while maintaining user control over final edits—directly competing with similar offerings from Adobe and Figma in the generative AI design space. For IT organizations, this signals the enterprise shift toward AI-powered creative automation and workflow integration across platforms, with Canva's enterprise business growing 100% year-over-year and positioning itself as the final editing and deployment layer for creative content. The strategic implication is that design and marketing workflows are consolidating around AI agents that coordinate multiple tools, requiring CIOs to evaluate how these platforms integrate with existing enterprise software stacks and governance frameworks.
