Is Canva too manual and slow in the age of generative AI?

jojogh•2mo ago
As a busy founder, my time is my most valuable asset. My days are a constant juggle between architecting our SaaS platform, leading our go-to-market strategy, and my family life. I have to work 60+ hour a week, often until 11 PM, only to wake up at 6:30 AM to get my kids to school before my workday starts at 8:00 AM.

I'm also deeply involved in our marketing, which means writing technical articles and sharing them on LinkedIn and X. For every post, I need an eye-catching cover image with a compelling title and beautiful graphics. For this, Canva.com has been an absolute lifesaver. Its massive library of templates and its simple, visual editor are brilliant. I love that it empowers someone like me, with zero Photoshop experience, to create professional-looking designs.

But with the dawn of the AIGC era, I've started to hit a wall with Canva.

Two things have changed:

The pace has accelerated. In the age of AI, everyone is leveraging tools to become more efficient. As a founder, I'm expected to do more and produce more in the same amount of time. Every tool in my workflow needs an AI upgrade to keep up. But Canva’s AI features feel limited. I still find myself using external AI tools for image edits, then manually typing and arranging text. A single social media graphic can still take me 1-2 hours. That’s just too slow now.

The possibilities have exploded. Powerful generative tools like Midjourney and nano banana have shown us the magic of natural language. We can now generate and edit incredible images in any style, just by typing. It’s a huge shame that this power isn't integrated into a practical, template-based workflow like Canva's.

I searched everywhere for a tool that bridged this gap—one that combined the structure of templates with the speed of natural language AI. I found nothing. So, I decided to build it myself.

With this new tool, a user can create professional designs through simple conversation. Imagine picking a template and, instead of manually editing, just typing in a chat box: "Create a design for a 4-day training course on AIGC prompt engineering" or "Change the background of this image to blue." The AI would instantly generate a beautiful design, automatically placing the text and images into a perfect layout. No design experience needed—just your idea and your words.

This is the "why" behind what I'm building. I'm solving a problem I face every single day.

Does this resonate with you? If you're a busy professional who believes AI can supercharge your creative workflow, I’d love for you to join me.

Please visit https://useneospark.com to join our wishlist. You'll be the first to know when our MVP goes live.

I'll be online and can't wait to hear your feedback. Thank you
