FRESH AI NEWS

Canva rolls out new AI design tools 🤖

Canva has upgraded to a full creative AI workstation with its own design model and new AI-powered tools, moving beyond just a template design platform 🚀

The platform now offers a conversational AI assistant that lets you generate text, designs and images from simple prompts 🤖
Users can build interactive elements (like calculators, quizzes or mini‑apps) directly inside Canva without writing a line of code 🛠️
With “Canva Sheets” and “Magic Insights/Formulas,” the company is blending design and data workflows so you can turn raw data into visuals with AI 📊
Canva added a feature powered by Veo 3 (Google’s model) that generates short video clips with synchronized sound through simple text or voice prompts 🎬
Canva emphasises safety, embedding metadata and offering control over AI‑generated content to ensure ethical use in creative workflows 🔐

Why You Should Care: These upgrades place Canva in the "creative AI platform" race by integrating design, code, data, and video into a seamless workspace. This lowers the barrier for creators, enabling faster production of high-end content and rapidly evolving the definition of a "design tool."

Weavy joins Figma in AI media push 🎬

Figma has acquired Weavy, a creative platform that allows users to link AI models and editing tools together and use them simultaneously in a single canvas

Weavy uses a node‑based interface that lets designers branch AI instructions, apply edits across multiple tools, or feed one prompt into several models without switching apps
With this acquisition, Figma adds stronger image & video editing features alongside generative content workflows to its design ecosystem
Instead of relying on fragmented plugins, Figma now embeds Weavy’s workflow engine directly, promising a more seamless “design+AI” experience

Why You Should Care: This deal shows Figma's evolution from a collaborative design tool to a comprehensive creative AI platform. By acquiring Weavy, Figma reduces friction for designers using AI, enhances creative speed, and adapts to the convergence of generative media and design.

Grammarly levels up with ‘Superhuman’ AI 🧠

Grammarly has rebranded as Superhuman, evolving into a full AI-productivity platform, and is launching a new AI assistant called Superhuman Go.

The company name changes to Superhuman, uniting Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail under one banner
The new assistant operates across apps, tabs, and workflows, handling tasks like drafting emails, summarizing information, and scheduling meetings.
The Superhuman Suite includes Grammarly’s writing tools, Coda’s workspace, Superhuman Mail, and the Go assistant
Superhuman Go is available at no extra cost for existing Pro users through early 2026; pricing afterward hasn’t been confirmed
The assistant connects with Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Jira, Confluence and others for contextual help

Why You Should Care: This move transforms Grammarly into a comprehensive AI-driven productivity platform, while Superhuman seeks to integrate writing, email, collaboration, and AI agents, challenging major AI productivity players..

INGREDIENTS TO VIDEO EDIT

Edit AI videos easily with Google Flow 🎬

Make movie-like videos in Google Flow with text prompts. You don't need to use timelines or green screens. Just explain your idea, and Flow will do the rest ✅

Here’s how to get started 👇️

Visit Google Flow, sign in, click “+ New Project”, switch from Text to Video to Ingredients to Video, and upload your subject photo and desired background image.
Use Prompt like: “Using the uploaded person photo, create a short video of them walking into the frame, smiling, and waving. The background is a cozy coffee shop with soft jazz music and morning sunlight.”
After the video is created, click "Edit," choose any part of the screen, and type what you want to change. For example, you could write "Add steam to the latte on the table" or "Change the window view to a city skyline at sunset."
To create a smooth transition, click "Add to Scene," then choose "+" and "Extend." For example, you might write: "The camera moves closer as the person picks up the coffee cup and laughs softly."
Fine-tune transitions and lighting for a cinematic flow, then export your finished clip by clicking the download icon on the timeline.

Pro Tip: Try narrative scenes like “a founder explaining their product at a café” or “a designer showcasing a project on their laptop.” Google Flow’s editable scenes allow you to visually tell a complete story, ideal for promo reels, explainer content, or brand intros, without filming a single frame ✨
