Canva Unveils Transformative AI-Powered Design Model And Marketing Suite

Revolutionizing Design With AI-Driven Foundations

Canva, the Australian creative powerhouse, has once again redefined the design landscape with the launch of its proprietary foundational model. Trained on an expansive library of design elements, this innovative model generates layered, editable designs rather than flat images. It supports a wide range of formats—from social media posts and presentations to whiteboards and websites—empowering users to move seamlessly from a simple prompt to fully realized, customizable designs.

Infusing Advanced AI Features Across The Platform

Enhancing its suite of creative tools, Canva has introduced an AI assistant with a chat-like interface that now spans multiple screens, including the design and elements tabs. This robust AI tool delivers media suggestions on demand, generates complex 3D objects, and even mirrors existing artistic styles, elevating the creative process. The new features enable collaborative work, allowing team members to interact directly with the bot via comment threads to iterate on designs in real time.

Seamless Integration Of Design, Data, And Analytics

In addition to its breakthrough design model, Canva is redefining functional integration. Earlier innovations—such as the spreadsheet tool and the capacity to create mini-apps—are now interconnected, enabling users to harness data stored in spreadsheets to build dynamic widgets and gain repeatable insights. Further strengthening its market position, Canva has combined its design expertise with the ad analytics capabilities acquired from MagicBrief to launch Canva Grow, a full-stack marketing platform that leverages AI for both asset creation and performance measurement.

Expanding Capabilities With New Products And Reimagined Tools

The latest update brings a host of new features designed to streamline workflows. Users can now design interactive forms to collect feedback, moving beyond traditional tools like Google Forms, and create email templates that align with brand aesthetics for marketing and transactional communications. The recent acquisition of the pro design tool Affinity is also being reimagined, offering a unified interface that seamlessly integrates vector, pixel, and layout editing. This approach allows designers to effortlessly migrate their work between Affinity and Canva while capitalizing on AI enhancements across both platforms.

By merging cutting-edge AI technology with integrated data and analytics tools, Canva not only pushes the boundaries of creative design but also sets a new benchmark for full-service marketing innovation. This strategic evolution marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey, as it continues to empower users with tools that blend artistic vision with actionable insights.

Eurobank Plans €1 Billion Investment In AI And Digital Banking By 2028

Eurobank plans to invest about €1 billion in technology from 2025 through 2028, its largest technology investment program to date. The Banking Forward strategy focuses on digital banking, artificial intelligence, customer experience and a “phygital” model combining digital services with face-to-face support.

Digital Banking Dominates Customer Activity

Digital channels already account for 96% of Eurobank transactions, with 61% completed through the Eurobank Mobile App. Among customers aged 35 and under, digital adoption reaches 94%.

Customers make about 574 million annual logins across e/m-banking and more than 1 million digital transactions each day. During the first half of 2026, one in three banking products was acquired digitally.

AI Moves Into Everyday Banking

Eurobank is expanding the use of AI through tools including EVA, its digital customer assistant, and myEVA, an AI-powered voice assistant for employees. The technology is also being applied to mortgage assessments, customer feedback analysis and contractual documents.

The bank’s technology architecture is built around five areas: digital channels, customer experience orchestration, data and AI, core banking, and infrastructure and cloud. About 50% of its applications and digital channels are already cloud-based.

Investment Extends Beyond Technology

The program is intended to reshape how Eurobank operates, combining automation and AI with employee development and human support. The bank says the approach is designed to improve services while maintaining access to face-to-face banking when customers need it.
