By bringing Canva's creative power directly into AI assistants, Canva is redefining how its 240 million users, including 95% of Fortune 500 companies, design, collaborate, and communicate, streamlining the entire content journey from concept to completion.
'AI agents and assistants have become indispensable creative partners, yet current workflows require users to manually add context or references, creating complexity,' said Anwar Haneef, GM and Head of Ecosystem at Canva. 'We're embedding Canva directly into the AI tools people use every day so they can brainstorm, create, and publish content faster. This is a major step in our vision to make the complex simple and build an all-in-one AI workflow that's secure and accessible to all.'
Your Canva designs, accessible in ChatGPT
Canva's deep research connector with ChatGPT will now connect users' designs directly to OpenAI's most advanced model, enabling specific, thoughtful, and context-rich responses grounded in your past work. Without needing to switch between tabs or dig for information, users can simply prompt ChatGPT to analyze or refine content across Canva Docs, Presentations, and more. With instant access to your design history, this integration removes friction and makes cross-platform creation and collaboration effortless.
Privacy and security are built in from the ground up. Every interaction is protected by Canva Shield, the company's comprehensive AI trust and safety framework.
The Canva deep research connector unlocks productivity and inspiration for:
Marketers: summarizing campaign reports, pulling key messaging from brand guides, and referencing launch plans
Business owners: analyzing business reports, summarizing past meeting notes, and exploring growth plans
Sales: analyzing customer feedback, searching for key value propositions or pricing slides, and preparing proposals
Educators: pulling key points for lesson plans and curriculum, and referencing past learning objectives
'Launching the Canva deep research connector means businesses and their employees get faster, better insights because ChatGPT has more context. We're thrilled to work together to bring powerful AI to many of today's most important workflows,' said Nate Gonzalez, Head of Business Products at OpenAI.

Apple's next AI move could change everything for Siri
Siri, we need to talk! Apple's (AAPL) once-glorified assistant has fallen way behind flashier AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter These days, it seems it's stuck in 2015, while other AI models rewrite the game. Apple's assistant continues tinkering with features but rarely delivers the lightning-quick, context-aware replies we're seeing on ChatGPT-powered platforms. However, after years of stunted updates and stiff competition from Google, OpenAI, and Amazon, Siri is potentially on the brink of a reinvention, redefining Apple Intelligence in the process. So here we are: Siri, would you reinvent yourself with an AI ringer behind the curtain? Whispers suggest this gamble could pay off and finally turn Apple stock's fortunes around. Siri was arguably Apple's secret sauce. It felt ahead of its time, a futuristic sidekick that wowed users back in 2011. Talking to your phone at the time felt like something straight out of a sci-fi flick. It made stuff like reminders, texts, and smart home tricks hands-free long before anyone else really nailed it. Fast forward to now, and Siri's crown has slipped. At the same time, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok have all evolved into sharp, context-savvy bots. Apple tried to turn things around with its massive "Apple Intelligence" rebrand in mid-2024, backed by savvy on-device models and proactive help. Related: Tesla stock sinks fast as Musk-Trump clash turns ugly However, by Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference 2025, Siri was basically missing in action, with Apple hyping new real-time translation and visual lookup. Even Marketing SVP Greg Joswiak admitted Siri flopped quality checks this cycle, a major letdown for Apple users and stockholders alike. Meanwhile, rivals like Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT have surged ahead in generative smarts. However, it looks like Apple's finally ready to flip the script. Recent reports suggest that Siri's brain power could potentially be outsourced, marking a major U-turn for a company that has looked to build everything in-house. Also, the shake-up follows big leadership moves, too. More Tech Stock News: Veteran Tesla analyst makes boldest robotaxi call yetTesla robotaxi launch hits major speed bumpAmazon aims to crush Elon Musk's Robotaxi AI boss John Giannandrea's out; Mike Rockwell is now steering "Apple Intelligence." Wall Street's into it, with Apple stock in the green. Nevertheless, balancing this pivot with privacy promises could make or break Apple's AI comeback. Apple is exploring a major Siri upgrade, but it might not come from Apple's own AI lab. According to fresh reports, the Cupertino giant is looking to ink deals to power Siri's next chapter with OpenAI or Anthropic. That's a seismic shift for a business that prides itself on developing everything in-house. Apple shares popped 2% on the news, signaling Wall Street likes the idea of Siri finally getting smarter. The company has reportedly asked both OpenAI and Anthropic to train AI models that can run on Apple's cloud servers. That essentially means a much faster rollout and fewer AI hiccups. Related: Gemini, ChatGPT may lose the AI war to deep-pocketed rival It also hints that Apple's own generative AI tech might not be up to snuff. Still, these are early days. Apple's already shelling out billions to run its own models in the cloud starting next year. Hence, the backup plan might just be insurance. It's important to note that this isn't the first time Big Tech has borrowed AI brains. Samsung used Google's Gemini for its smartphones, and Amazon's Alexa tapped Anthropic's Claude. If Apple follows suit, OpenAI or Anthropic could lock in another blue-chip customer, pushing both further ahead in the AI arms race. More importantly, Siri's long-awaited glow-up might actually deliver this time. In addition, Apple stock hasn't had the best of years on the stock market. It's down more than 17% year to date, and close to 18% in the past six months alone.
