Canva and Open AI have combined their powers to create a powerful tool called Canva Magic Write, which helps users to write short-form articles for their documents and presentations.
Google and Microsoft are on a collision course with Canva, which might cause the productivity suite oligarchies of the two tech titans to crumble. The Australian design tool juggernaut has unveiled a new, top-secret weapon that might upend its dominance and alter how people conduct business. In fact, it appears to be the start of a revolution that will change how we produce art. Canva Magic Write is the name of it.
Magic Write is the standout feature of Canva Docs, the company’s recently released tool for producing media-rich documents. The Social Media designer, which gave Canva its start in 2013; decks, the slides app that has generated one billion presentations since it was released at the start of the pandemic, and Whiteboard, a more recent collaborative tool, all share the same distinctively visual nature. According to Canva’s cofounder and chief product officer Cameron Adams, Whiteboard has amassed 10 million users in just two months since its launch.
Canva Magic Write takes a brand-new approach to content creation
Canva Docs employs a similar block-oriented visual approach to other products, using pre-made, Lego-like components that can be readily customized. This makes it possible for anyone to rapidly put together a document that differs from what MS Word or Google Docs can produce. Canva Docs primarily utilizes graphical headers to offer a text a very apparent structure as opposed to the dry nature of traditional word processing applications.
However, Canva Docs is actually defined by Magic Write. The Magic Write prompt is the first choice in the menu when you click the ”+” symbol that asks you to “add something” to the empty page. This is how it works: you type your command into a form, press enter, and the AI generates a text that complies with your request.
Based on GPT3, Magic Write is the result of a collaboration between Canva and OpenAI. The company’s co-founder says:
“One of the reasons that we were keen to partner with them is their fantastic technology and the models that drive machine learning,”

By placing a 1500-word limit on the Canva Magic Write feature, Canva avoids long articles and supports short but powerful content, which is an important element in presentation design.
The feature aims to help users by using AI’s creativity
According to Adams, Magic Write is made to help people get past “writer’s block” like Canva’s other design tools help people get past “designer’s block.” He added that they are aware that even the most experienced writers experience anxiety when faced with a blank page. The AI of Magic Write can help with that. It’s intended to instill confidence in users so they may begin incorporating their thoughts and giving context to what they’re making.
“I think that’s probably the most exciting area for us because then it really becomes a partnership between you suggesting things, creating things, taking input from the AI that just bubbles up ideas to you, making it almost like you’re talking to someone else on the other side,”
-Cameron Adams

Canva Magic Write is one of many examples of AI’s usage in our daily lives
Canva Magic Write is arguably the least contentious AI tool to have gone viral online in the previous week. Due to a function that enables users to post selfies, which is then used to generate digital artwork in a variety of styles, the photo and video app Lensa has become very popular.
This has led to ethical concerns about the payment for commissioned art, with some artists even claiming that their work has been utilized without their knowledge or consent to feed Lensa AI and comparable programs.
In addition, OpenAI made its ChatGPT tool available, and it has seen tremendous user growth. Although the platform is promoted as a conversational AI system, it has already been used to generate codes, marketing copy, and academic papers.
