Canva just released some MASSIVE upgrades and is rolling out Canva AI 2.0! As someone not really impressed with Canva's AI so far, checkin it out right now and I can tell you I am now paying very close attention! ✨SECRET CODE: Type "Activate superpowers" in the design search bar - and you will get a week of extra AI credits to test it out! ✨ What is Canva 2.0 AI? Canva is repositioning from a design tool to an "agentic system for work." Basically instead of you picking a template and dragging stuff around, you talk to it and it builds the thing - including pulling data from your other tools. This is their biggest release ever! The main new capabilities: 1. Conversational Design - you type a prompt in natural language and it generates a full editable design. No templates, no manual layout. 2. Agentic Orchestration - an orchestration layer reads your intent, picks the right Canva tools, and runs multi-step workflows (like "build me a multi-channel campaign for X launch") end to end. 3. Connectors - Canva now plugs into Slack, Notion, Zoom, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and HubSpot. So it can pull from your meeting transcripts, emails, and docs to generate newsletters, sales pitches, briefing docs, meeting summaries. This is great, but I wanted to take it further and create a Notion template via Canva - it could not do that. 4. Persistent Memory - it learns how you work, remembers your brand, and auto-updates designs when brand assets change. This is HUGE! 5. Object-Based Intelligence - if you say "swap this image" or "change the headline," only that element changes. The rest stays locked. 6. Brand Intelligence - automatic brand application across everything. 7. Scheduling - you can set tasks to run on a cadence in the background (so your weekly social template can just… rebuild itself). 8. Web Research - it can pull live structured info from the web directly into designs. 9. Sheets AI - structured spreadsheet generation inside Canva. Doubt that it's better than in Claude, but I haven't tested it yet. 10. Canva Code 2.0 — now supports HTML import. Excited to try generating code in Claude and importing it into canva for the design! 11. Under the hood Three proprietary models: Canva Proteus (style transfer), Canva Lucid Origin (image gen), Canva I2V (image-to-video). Canva claims they're 7x faster and 30x cheaper than frontier alternatives. 12. Rollout Research preview right now. First 1 million users get access via the Canva homepage, with broader rollout in the coming weeks.

I'm recording one on Claude Cowork and I keep going back and forth on what to actually show. What do you want to know? For example: - Is there a task in your business you've been wondering if Claude Cowork could handle compared to other tools? - Have you tried Cowork and gotten stuck somewhere? - Is there a specific use case you'd want to see me walk through step by step? - Are you not sure what Cowork even is or why you'd use it over regular Claude? Please drop in the comments, thanks for the help! 💛 ALSO, if you are tired of me yapping about Cowork all the time and you miss me talking about other tools or specific topics - I want to know 😃 Please and thank you!

So I'm in the middle of recording my Claude Power User course right now, and one of the modules is about artifacts. And I wasn't even planning to be that impressed since I haven't used them that much... But If you're an educator and you have long-form content or educational materials that you create (YouTube videos, courses, workshops, whatever) - you can use Claude artifacts to create mini interactive experiences and lead magents for your audience, like quizzes, calculators, other visual tools! Here's what I did: - Went to Artifacts in Claude (available on free accounts) - I took a transcript from one of my YouTube videos (the one about Claude skills and plugins), uploaded it straight into Claude, and asked it to create an interactive experience as a supporting tool for people watching the video. A PRO TIP: The first version came out very purple and dark, because that's what vibe-coded things seem to default to. So I added a link to a website which I love the colors and aesthetics of (Gumroad) and asked Claude to match that instead. The result was actually SO good🤩 : https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/383c5273-b1ef-4ced-ab1f-f8d7e1d34fec So I've been massively underusing this feature and I think especially for educational creators, it's basically a light vibe-coding playground where you can build interactive resources that actually support your content. I also saw some cool examples for others using it to create gamified learning experiences, interactive excels, mind maps, dashboard... - as always imagination is the limit! You probably can't hook them up to databases or anything complex like that or create user accounts. But as a standalone educational tool that adds extra value to what you're already teaching is pretty cool! If you have created some artifacts already, please share so we can all get more ideas!

Ok so the thing I love about this whole era we're in right now is that we can literally build whatever we want. And it looks so different for everyone. So what I think of being an AI Solopreneur is radically different from what it is for you, and I think this is incredibly liberating and beautiful, because we all can lean into what we are good at and what our gifts are. I personally don't believe in blueprints. They're great for learning and seeing what could work, but whatever you build has to be aligned to the life you actually want and the values you care about, otherwise it is not sustainable long-term. For me - I optimize for freedom. I'm building multiple income streams, I'm using AI across all of them, and my vision is a one-person ecosystem where everything feeds off each other and keeps compounding. For me its - my personal brand, content, membership, consulting & educational services, digital products, public speaking and affiliates and I am a few loose conversations with Claude away from adding a physical product 😂 I'm multi-passionate and I love it this way. I literally cannot do it when someone tells me how and what to do, especially, the one thing "thing", it's a curse 😆 I'd love to know what it looks like for you! What path are you on right now? What are you building? Please vote below or leave a comment if its something different 💛
