Meanwhile, OpenAI’s ChatGPT now remembers your previous conversations.
Australian software and graphic design company Canva has unveiled its latest innovations, with a collection of updated generative AI (GenAI) features for coding, photo editing and spreadsheet management. The Visual Suite 2.0 streamlines Canva’s tools for a straight-forward interface.
GenAI is becoming increasingly popular, with many technology companies incorporating AI into their work processes and devices, for example Apple and Meta. Canva’s new AI features enable users to access an AI-powered assistant, generate designs, write content and map out ideas, via written or voice commands.
Other new features include the ability to create widgets and interactive design elements without the need for advanced coding knowledge, AI-powered charts for reports and infographics, a photo editor with in-built AI-powered background and editing options, and space to collect your work all in one place for a unified working environment.
“From the teachers and teams, to the start-ups and side hustlers, marketers and memory-makers, we’re incredibly excited to bring your wishes to life. These new launches have already completely changed the way we work and we can’t wait to see what you all create,” wrote Canva CEO and co-founder Melanie Perkins in a blogpost.
Canva increased its prices last year after launching a suite of AI features.
Meanwhile, the AI updates keep coming. OpenAI announced yesterday (10 April) that it plans to launch a memory feature for its ChatGPT technology, that would allow it to respond to users based on ideas formed from previous conversations.
This could, however, be a controversial move, as the organisation has already faced criticism from regions such as Canada, Italy and the wider EU, for potential invasion of privacy, misuse of data and lack of clarity regarding how data is collected and stored.
