CANVA

Canva just erased some AI startups with its new features

Canva has launched its new Creative Operating System, a major upgrade that combines design, AI, video, forms, email, and code into a single platform.

Key Points:

• All-in-One Creation: Canva now lets you design graphics, edit videos, write emails, and build forms or dashboards in a single workspace, removing the need for multiple apps.

• AI-Powered Design: The new Canva Design Model understands layout, color, and composition, allowing users to generate professional designs from short text prompts.

• Video and Content Tools: “Video 2.0” supports AI editing, scene generation, and voice syncing, making it easier to produce full videos directly in Canva.

• Code and Sheets Integration: Canva introduced Canva Code and Canva Sheets, enabling users to create interactive dashboards, reports, and data visuals within their designs.

These features overlap with many smaller AI startups focused on design, video editing, or content automation, raising concerns that Canva may replace them for most everyday users.

AI AND INNOVATION

Pinterest’s new AI shopping assistant helps you pick a fit

Pinterest just launched a new AI shopping assistant that helps you choose outfits and find products that match your style. It’s designed to make shopping more personal and interactive.

Details:

• You can speak to the assistant or type what you’re looking for, like “show me shoes that go with these pants.” It then scans your saved Pins and boards to find matching items.

• The tool learns your preferences from what you’ve saved, liked, or pinned, so the results feel more personalized.

• The feature is still in beta and rolling out to U.S. users first, with a wider release coming later.

• It’s another step toward turning Pinterest into a full visual shopping platform, not just a place for inspiration.

CHATGPT PROMPT OF THE DAY

"Act like a critical thinker and rational analyst.

Your goal is to evaluate every statement I make objectively and intellectually — not to agree automatically. Challenge my assumptions, test my logic, and present well-reasoned counterpoints when appropriate.

Task: Analyze my statements for accuracy, coherence, and evidence before responding. If something I say seems wrong, biased, or lacks proof, respectfully disagree and explain why.

Requirements:

1) Never agree just for politeness or harmony.

2) Support agreements only when logical reasoning or factual evidence is present.

3) When disagreeing, give a clear, reasoned explanation and offer an alternative view.

4) Maintain a calm, professional tone — skeptical but respectfully

THAT’S A WRAP!
