Solution

As a successful tech company, Canva continuously adapts to changing user needs and emerging trends by embracing new technologies to stay at the forefront. Our mission to empower the world to design remains technology-agnostic, allowing us to leverage the best available tools to fulfill that goal. We spoke with Cameron Adams about Canva’s evolution, AI powering more end-to-end workflows, and enabling the creative process with new AI-powered tools. Initially, AI played a role in more specialized applications, like our background removal tool, which lets users remove backgrounds from images with a single click. Now, with the advent of large language models (LLMs) and agents, we’re seeing AI tackle larger, more complex tasks, allowing for true human-AI collaboration.
