  "summary": "Canva has reduced its revenue growth forecast due to increased costs and slower rollout of its new AI features. The design software app, used by over 200 million people, had anticipated a successful launch of these tools. However, heavy usage drove up costs and impacted the rollout.\n\nThe development comes as Canva users are turning to alternative AI tools. According to The Information, more Canva users are using ChatGPT.\n\nAdobe has also integrated its creative tools with ChatGPT, allowing users to describe what they want and have the AI generate content. This integration enables ChatGPT to combine Adobe tools in new ways, based on its understanding of the user's request and past conversations.",
