Dear OpenAI Team,
I would like to suggest the idea of integrating OpenAI’s assistant directly into creative platforms like Canva. This would allow users to collaborate with the AI in real time without needing to switch between different models or tools.
The Problem: Constant Switching Between Tools
Currently, users must:
Switch back and forth between tools (like Canva, Photoshop, and ChatGPT) to generate creative assets.
Wait for AI to process responses, and then manually implement changes into their design.
This creates workflow interruptions and slows down the creative process.
The Solution: Real-Time AI Collaboration in Apps
Integrating OpenAI’s assistant directly into creative apps like Canva or Figma would provide:
Live collaboration: AI could suggest design elements, tweak layouts, adjust fonts, or generate text in real-time as the user works.
Instant feedback and adjustments: Users could ask questions or request changes mid-project, and the AI would immediately implement the changes, speeding up the creative process.
Fewer tool-switching interruptions: Instead of exporting, importing, or waiting for AI to process results, users can focus solely on the design work without leaving the app.
Why This Would Benefit Users
Seamless Workflow – No more bouncing between different platforms. The assistant would be always available.
Faster Iteration – Designers can make instant changes with the assistant’s real-time help.
More Creative Control – Users can direct the AI interactively while still maintaining full control over the creative process.
Enhanced User Experience – A more immersive, fluid experience where AI feels like an integrated design partner rather than a tool that operates in isolation.
Example Use Case
A user is designing a book cover in Canva.
They can ask the AI assistant to generate title font ideas, adjust colors, or even suggest layout improvements—all in real time, without leaving Canva.
As the assistant makes changes or suggestions, the user can instantly approve, tweak, or further adjust the design.
Conclusion
This real-time AI integration would streamline workflows, boost creativity, and reduce friction in apps that rely heavily on design and visual content. I hope OpenAI will consider exploring this seamless collaboration model with creative tools.
