Canva launches Perplexity Computer connector

Perplexity subscribers who work in design can now add a Canva connector to the Computer platform, allowing Perplexity’s desktop agent to autonomously turn data and prompts into editable Canva assets. Here are the details.

Canva connector now available on Perplexity Computer

If you’re not familiar with Perplexity Computer, it is a Mac-native platform that serves as the user’s personal agentic assistant and performs tasks across local and cloud environments.

In practice, users can connect Perplexity Computer to hundreds of platforms they already use, such as Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, SharePoint, and beyond, and then have Perplexity’s agents perform tasks on their behalf.

This week, Canva launched a Perplexity Computer connector, which means the platform’s agents can now work directly inside Canva to create assets based on the user’s requests and needs.

Here’s one example, from Canva’s announcement:

When Perplexity surfaces a strategy, a competitive analysis, or a brief, Canva is right there to turn it into a polished, on-brand, editable asset that’s ready to take into Canva, refine and publish across platforms.

And

Connect Canva through the Connectors page, describe what you need, and Perplexity Computer draws from your meeting notes, performance data, and live web context to build a structured brief. From there, Canva transforms it into a presentation, a social campaign, an infographic, or a brand kit – all editable, on-brand, and ready to publish anywhere.

Commenting on the launch, Canva’s Head of Ecosystem said that this partnership will allow small and growing business to shorten the gap “between a smart insight and something you can actually use.” Emily Jorgens, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Perplexity, echoed that sentiment:

Canva has put world-class design into the hands of every business. Bringing it into Perplexity Computer means a growing business can design right alongside the rest of its work, turning research, data, and a rough idea into a finished presentation, video, or campaign without ever leaving the flow.

The new Canva connector is available for Perplexity Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro, and Enterprise Max users. To learn more about it, follow this link, or click here to learn more about Perplexity Computer connectors.
