##### Overview In this challenge, you'll take on the role of an AI engineer or full-stack developer building an intelligent agent that helps users unlock even more value from Canva. Your goal is to create an AI-powered app that integrates with Canva via the Canva App SDK or Canva Connect API. Your agent could focus on tasks like automating design-to-code workflows, assisting in the creation of marketing content, or generating visual assets like charts and graphics. The key is to combine AI capabilities (like LLMs or image generation) with Canva's rich design ecosystem to create useful, intuitive experiences that boost productivity for creatives, marketers, or developers. Use mock user inputs or design files, and simulate integrations with real-world services like Mailchimp, GitHub, or web frameworks. Focus on building something clever, even if it's scrappy—your design thinking, agent behavior, and how you tie it all together matter most.

##### What You'll build * A working prototype of an AI agent that connects to Canva via the App SDK or Connect API * A recorded demo video showcasing how your agent works and what it enables users to do * Optional: A simple UI showing how users interact with the agent inside Canva * Bonus: Connect to external platforms (e.g. Mailchimp, Notion, GitHub) to show off cross-tool workflows

##### Example Agent Ideas * **Demo Video:** Turn Canva mockups into HTML/CSS/React code snippets * **Marketing Agent:** Build and launch campaign assets across Canva and platforms like Mailchimp or LinkedIn * **Data-to-Design Agent:** Generate custom charts and infographics from spreadsheets or APIs * **Image Gen Agent:** Use AI to create images or icons based on user prompts, inserted directly into Canva
