Interactive canvas tool for multimodal personalized content generation

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing an interactive canvas tool to generate multimodal, personalized content. One method includes providing a user interface (UI) for a canvas tool to generate multimodal content. The canvas tool comprises a prompt panel, a variations panel, and a canvas configured to present items of several types, such as a text type and an image type. The method further includes receiving text input including a textual description with instruction for generating an item, where the canvas tool is configured to generate items from the several types. The method further includes providing the text input to a generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tool, and presenting one or more variations based on an output of the GAI tool. The method further includes detecting a selection of one of the variations in the variations panel, and adding the selected variation to the canvas in the UI.
