AI Topic Generator

The topic generator on Canva is a feature of Magic Write, an AI writing assistant powered by OpenAI. It uses a machine learning model to predict and generate the text you want based on the prompt you provide.

Because its output is based on your instructions, you’ll get better topic ideas with a more detailed prompt. Say you need topics for discussion in your upcoming meeting. What type of meeting is it, who are the attendees, and what do you need topics for: an icebreaker, a getting-to-know-you session, or a brainstorming session? Including such details in your prompt will help the conversation topic generator generate appropriate ideas for you.

A few words on the limitations of the topic generator and Magic Write in general:

• Magic Write uses data and information up to mid-2021. This means that some of the generated text, including any rewritten sentences, might contain outdated information.
• The topic generator might generate topics that aren’t accurate or unique. So you’ll want to use your best judgment and be a meticulous checker before using any AI-generated text as is.
• The topic generator has a 200-word input limit and around a 500-word output limit. This means that any generated text might get cut off mid-sentence.

Yes, it’s free! Whether you’re a Free Canva user, or you’ve upgraded to a Pro, Teams, or NFP account, you can use the AI topic generator for your projects.

Choosing the best topic ideas depends on your specific interest or expertise, your audience, and the format of delivery.

Think about what you’re best interested in. Or, if you have a specific expertise, will a certain topic idea help you showcase that?

Consider your audience. Are you talking to kids, teens, or working professionals? Think of their interests and attention span. What sort of delivery engages them?

Then finally, the format of delivery. Are you choosing topic ideas for a blog, a research paper, or a presentation?

If you’re having a hard time choosing on your own, getting input from your family, friends, and colleagues is a must. Create an informal survey and get their feedback. Oftentimes, working on a particular project closely can affect your perspective. An outsider’s point of view can help you see your topic ideas in a new light.

There’s no guarantee that the topics generated by the random topic generator are unique. So when using the topic generator and other AI writing tools on Canva, we highly recommend doing your due diligence. Research and fact-check everything first to make sure you’re not infringing on any creator’s copyright. Also, be sure to exercise your full creativity on the topics generated. Using the AI writing assistant on Canva is meant as a first step to jumpstart your creative process.

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this! The treatment of AI-generated works under copyright law is an open question, and the answer may vary depending on what country you live in.
