| Description | Canva AI is the suite of AI-powered design features embedded in the Canva platform, including Magic Design (generate full designs from a prompt), Magic Write (AI copywriting), Dream Lab (text-to-image), and Magic Media (text-to-video). It makes AI-assisted design accessible to non-designers by combining templates, brand kits, and generation in a single drag-and-drop interface. | Seedream 5.0 Pro (ByteDance, 2026-07-08) moves past 4.5's speed pitch toward reasoning and design understanding.
