SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 5, 2026--

The future of work is being rewritten by AI, with professionals accomplishing in minutes what used to take hours. But there's been one persistent breaking point in AI assistants: generic visual outputs and off-brand colors that undermine AI speed with tedious manual cleanup.

Today, that friction ends as Canva brings brand intelligence directly into the AI tools where modern day work happens most. Starting now, ChatGPT users can create designs completely tied to their Canva Brand Kit, making a company’s brand come to life visually and function as a living participant in AI workflows.


This expansion marks the coming together of Canva and ChatGPT, two category-defining platforms, in a new way to make on-brand design more accessible and fluid. From client-ready pitch decks to social posts and professional-looking posters, the partnership continues to fuel Canva’s mission to empower everyone to design with ease.

Empowering Everyone to Create At Speed, With Brand Integrity

Canva is rapidly becoming the foundation for AI-powered design. Today’s update to the Canva app in ChatGPT, following last week’s debut in Anthropic’s Claude, reinforces Canva’s growing ubiquity and impact as the visual layer of the AI ecosystem. 


Already consistently ranked in the top ten sites receiving the most referrals from AI assistants according to Similarweb, Canva brings essential visual capabilities powered by its own design model into leading LLMs. Canva acts as each platform’s design brain, keenly understanding a brand’s unique fonts, colors and logos in new and inventive ways, serving as a critical piece of the AI productivity revolution.

In just the last year, Canva has pioneered the Canva Design Model for editable design outputs, Canva AI, an all-in-one design copilot, and the Canva MCP Server, which has already created over 12 million designs in ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.

“The soul of a brand is visual identity, yet it has been the missing puzzle piece in how AI creates,” said Anwar Haneef, GM and Head of Ecosystem at Canva. “Today, we’re bridging that gap by bringing our design expertise to the daily tools used by millions. Whether you are in ChatGPT or Claude, Canva acts as the connective tissue that quickly turns a text conversation into beautiful brand-aligned visuals. This marks a significant leap in how LLMs and design models can bring creativity and productivity closer than ever.”

The Big Picture: AI Workflows That Actually Complete the Job

2026 marks a turning point in which teams move beyond isolated AI conversations to highly intuitive workflows with clear understanding of context, enabling consistency and finished work at speed. This represents a fundamental shift from static brand guidelines buried in forgotten PDFs to an interactive resource that lives across the tools people use every day.

“We believe an agent’s personal brand is their X-Factor; it’s the superpower that builds trust before they even enter the room," says eXp Realty Chief Marketing Officer, Wendy Forsythe. "This integration is a game-changer because it allows agents to scale that superpower without diluting it. By accessing Canva Brand Kits within ChatGPT, our agents can move from a text prompt to a fully branded visual in seconds. Ultimately, this frees our agents to spend less time formatting and more time connecting, ensuring their X-Factor shines through in every digital interaction."

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to Poland announced on Thursday that the United States will have “no further dealings, contacts, or communications” with Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the speaker of the lower house of the Polish parliament, over what Rose called “outrageous and unprovoked insults directed against President Trump."

Amb. Tom Rose did not specify what those alleged insults were, but Czarzasty had issued a public statement on Monday in which he said he would not support an initiative of his Israeli and American counterparts to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Czarzasty is one of the leaders of a left-wing party in the liberal government led by Donald Tusk.

Ever since Trump came to power, Poland has had to walk a fine line between defending its European allies while not upsetting its most powerful ally, the United States, on which peace in neighboring Ukraine depends. Warsaw has so far managed to do this by having Tusk handle European Union matters and letting President Karol Nawrocki, who came to power supported by the national-conservative opposition party Law and Justice, connect with Trump.

Nawrocki enjoys good relationships with Trump, who endorsed him during the electoral campaign for presidency last year, and invited him to the White House soon after the Pole took office. As the two presidents sat side by side in September in the White House, Trump declared he does not intend to pull U.S. troops out of Poland, a sign of support for the new president and his aims. “We’ll put more there if they want,” Trump even said.

Yet this week's dispute highlights the difficulty of Poland's position in the current international context.

Czarzasty did not mince his words on Monday when he said Trump “does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.” He said Trump "represents power politics and, by the use of force, pursues transactional politics.” This often means “breaking international law,” the Polish politician added.

He criticized Trump for not recognizing enough the role Polish soldiers played in U.S. military missions and for “the instrumental treatment of other territories," such as Greenland.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was quick to respond to Rose's announcement.

“Mr. Ambassador Rose, allies should respect, not lecture, each other,” Tusk wrote on X Thursday afternoon.

Rose, however, was undeterred. He replied to Tusk that, despite the Polish prime minister himself being “a model ally and great friend of the United States,” Czarzasty's comments “were so potentially damaging to your government.”

Insulting Trump, “the greatest friend Poland has ever had in the White House," was “the last thing” a Polish leader should do, Rose warned.

Earlier this week, Nawrocki called a meeting of a national security body to discuss, among others, whether Poland should join Trump’s Board of Peace as well as to clarify alleged “eastern business and social contacts” of Czarzasty. The parliament speaker denies any nefarious relationships in Russia or Belarus.

Law and Justice, the main opposition party in Poland who supported Nawrocki's presidential bid, is hoping to regain power in parliamentary elections next year. Weakening Tusk's coalition partners is part of its strategy.

Czarzasty himself said on Thursday night that, despite respecting the U.S. as a key ally for Poland, he would not change his position.

The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
