Canva says it's not a design tool with AI bolted on anymore. It's an AI platform with design tools built in. We put that claim to the test live.

In this episode, Jesse and Chris set up a brand kit from scratch, generate a full on brand launch campaign in one shot, connect Gmail to turn a customer email into a testimonial graphic, and schedule recurring AI design tasks. We also hit a few real bugs along the way, and we show you exactly where they happened.

If you run a small business and use Canva, this episode will save you hours of trial and error.

What we cover:
- How to set up your brand kit the right way (and the one setting that quietly breaks everything if you skip it)
- Building a full campaign (Instagram post, story, email header, and flyer) from a single prompt
- Turning a customer email into a testimonial graphic using Canva's Gmail connector
- Scheduling recurring AI design tasks so new content is waiting for you every morning
- Where Canva AI 2.0 still falls short, and how it compares to using Claude or ChatGPT directly
