The new Canva
Canva announced “a whole new Canva” to improve workplace collaborative creation and a revamped platform to simplify its tools for anyone to use.
At Canva Create, several AI features were announced that enhance the design and content creation process:
Magic Design: Upload an image and select a style to get a curated selection of personalized templates.
Magic Write: An AI-powered copywriting assistant that can generate written content from a text prompt, useful for presentations and website copy.
Magic Eraser: This feature can remove unwanted objects or backgrounds from images.
Magic Edit: Users can swap an object with something else entirely using generative AI.
Beat Sync: Automatically matches video footage to a soundtrack of your choice.
Translate: Automatically translates text in designs to over 100 different languages.

Pika made some major improvements to the image-to-video feature and the results are impressive. (link)

📕How to generate an e-book in less than 15 minutes
It is possible to generate a complete e-book as a digital product, in less than fifteen minutes with groqbook.
This type of book isn’t meant to be a bestseller or academic resource.
It’s meant to condense and share your knowledge about a particular topic in a short book to monetize or provide as a free download.
For instance, I am working on an e-book about writing effective prompts for photorealistic image generation on Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and other platforms.
I can use this book creation strategy to save time outlining and writing a full book, while customizing and adding my own unique perspective and tips.
You might have a topic you can write about in your own e-book.
If you do, here’s a step-by-step tutorial:
Go to ChatGPT and ask the Kraftful Product Coach GPT for book ideas based on your personal or brand needs here.
Sign up for a free groq subscription (not Grok from 𝕏) here.
Go to groqcloud to create a free groq API key here.
Go to the groqbooks app on Streamlit here.
Enter your groq API key and paste a description for your book idea, as shown in the video below:
Copy the generated text for the full book and paste into a Word or Google doc, Notion, Mem, Obsidian, or wherever you choose to store your document files.
Click “End Generation and Download Book,” and “Confirm Download” to download your e-book .txt file.
Edit, fact-check, and add details to your book.
Book cover: Create your own (Canva, Adobe Express, Visme, ChatGPT)or hire a professional designer (reedsy, Damonza, 99designs).
Publish, print, and sell your book through a platform like these:
Of course, it will take more than 15 minutes to get through steps 7-10 above, but you will save weeks of time with steps 1-6.
