I was gifted canva pro for 3 months and I decide to check what I could do with it. So I explored it over 3 hours and it still felt like I didn't know what I could do with it then I decided to check to check Claude.
For the records I can edit thumbnails via canva through Claude, all I need to do is to actually connect canva on Claude by using the connector settings and then set my prompts by using 
With canva pro, it is seamless and I made some great thumbnails with my YouTube channel related chats. Although this is not all, I also discovered that Claude can actually code too, I asked CHATGPT the perfect prompt for a maths channels especially with topics relating to differentiation and calculus and it was mind-blowing.
It's not a complex code machine but you can make animated infographs, mathematics tools that you can easily integrate into video for teaching and it just takes away extra 30 to 40 minutes of minor code time if you're a coder.
But this is honestly not the first app to do this, CHATGPT does it very easily, infact CHATGPT is the best especially if you're using free GPT, but you'll definitely need Claude 25 to 31$ monthly subscription to do this.
So basically you can get some free places to code some functional apps, and I don't even imagine that a graphics and UI app like canva would also integrate some plugin that lets you use canva to code entry level tools that you can even plugin for some simple stuffs.
Also I don't know how much of these you can do per month and the credit limits but I'm sure they require a lot, but I'll do a little more research about it. People who have access to the paid and max level of CHATGPT and Claude are literally artists, all they need to do is to imagine it and that can actually bring it to life.
I saw myself as an artist for example, and while I cannot code, there are endless possibilities I can actually bring to life and just get stuffs done.
This is concerning, although I like the fact that I don't even need to know a single line of code to get these done, but it kind of means that all I need to do is to have some money to buy some max tools and I can just code some things into reality, will I be able to make money off these things I've coded?
Definitely, but it's definitely sad that skill-based professions like software engineering is now being made available for the highest bidder to use as much as that want.
We can argue that AI companies from 3 to 4 years ago actually paid people to train these models so basically a lot of people actually earned for building these models, but I still think it's largely unfair to software engineers who are going to be losing revenues because some other softwares engineers have trained these current models for years and made money off training them.
Here's something cool I coded with canva
You need some level of money to get access to these things and the fact that it's still not free (while some version can be very expensive) is probably the reason why some software engineers can continue to make their money, of course unless some rogue AI agency comes ahead and makes everything free.
Although I doubt that this will be happening anytime soon, I think maybe in 10 to 20 years time it might be possible, but from now till the next 10 years, the current models we have are going to be making billions of dollars in revenue, afterall they already paid some folks to train these models for many years.
Back to canva
...... great to be able to explore the pro version, it's such a beauty to use and I'll be exploring other stuffs I can do with it. It's unimaginable that tools like that for graphics is including full AI functionalities, including video generation as well, it's unbelievable what we can achieve with these tools, especially when people can cough out some money for the paid version.
