- Scheduling is how Canva takes care of tasks for you, entirely in the background
- Hundreds of MCP connectors could potentially be available
- It is available to try in the search preview
Canva has launched a series of new AI tools to evolve the platform into an AI-driven and still human-worker-centric ecosystem, but it’s the new scheduling tool that caught our attention.
Noting the immense power that agent tools like OpenClaw and Claude Cowork can deliver to users who are at the edge of what we can achieve today, Canva co-founders Cliff Obrecht and Cameron Adams said this is still an “absolute early adoption stage.”
But having already “democratized something very complex and fragmented,” the company’s latest version bridges the gap and gives greater autonomy to workers.

Canva AI 2.0 can now schedule and complete tasks autonomously
With this new layer of automation, users can establish and run recurring AI tasks that run in the background to deliver results ready for editing – the most urgent examples being weekly batches of social content, daily briefings, and internal company newsletters.
The way the company envisions using this tool is to effectively replace tedious work that might previously have taken workers days, freeing up time to make quick and easy visual edits before hitting send.
But data and context are key to making this work, which is why Canva spent the better part of two years redesigning and rearchitecting the entire stack to now support integrations through MCP, an open standard established by Anthropic.
Launching with heavyweights like Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Notion and Zoom, Obrecht said this will be just the “start of a huge wave” of potentially hundreds of MCP connectors giving Canva’s self-planning the rich context it needs to bring it all together.
So while Canva AI 2.0, the center of Canva Create 2026, is about the evolution from designing with AI to AI-assisted design, Scheduling marks an even bigger step toward fully autonomous working.
Scheduling, along with all the other new AI 2.0 tools, is available to try as a research preview for the first million users who can crack the Easter egg.
