Canva’s CEO on its big pivot to AI enterprise software

Canva unveiled new AI features that can create presentations, documents, and other work assets from sources like Slack and email.

The outputs are delivered as editable Canva files, letting users refine AI-generated content directly in the product.

CEO Melanie Perkins said Canva’s goal is to shift from a design tool with AI features to an AI platform with design tools.

The move signals a stronger push for enterprise customers and a bid to compete for corporate software spending.
