In the past, software design was centered on user experience (UX) and centered around making it easier for users to "use" the tool. Today, a new paradigm called Agent Experience (AX) is emerging that transforms software from a "tool to be used" to a "partner to collaborate with". Lovart's official update, in particular its introduction of the ChatCanvas
function is a strong testament to this shift.
At the heart of this update is a solution to the awkward position its infinite canvas used to occupy in past interactions - used primarily for display, with the actual action centered in the chat box on the right. The canvas is now the main battleground for communicating with the Design AI Agent.

Designers are on standby, waiting for users to point out specific locations on the canvas and give precise instructions such as "make this text bigger".
Precision fine-tuning: the canvas becomes the command interface

Several compliant images were quickly generated.
In traditional workflows, the process of fine-tuning one of the images can be quite cumbersome, often relying on complex text descriptions to locate the modified area. But now, users can simply click on the comment icon at the bottom of the canvas and add a comment on the specific location of the image they want to modify.
For example, the wavy light effect in the generated image affects the transparency of the glass. By clicking on the location and typing "Remove this part of the light effect", theLovart
will be able to understand the instructions. It's worth noting that the interaction draws on the AI code editor Cursor
The idea is that the AI will predict and complement the instructions based on the input, pressing the Tab
key to populate.
After submitting a requirement, the AI may follow up to get more explicit information, and the user can have a direct conversation in the comment section. When all the modification commands have been added, click "Run All".Lovart
It will then execute all comments at once.
In addition.Lovart
It also introduces a similar Figma
(used form a nominal expression) Frame
(The concept of the "Drawing Boards", where all the changes made in each board have a separate chat history, makes it easy to go back. Users can view all the comments that have been made with the "Comments" button next to it, or even click "Reopen" to repeat a command on another image.
In addition to clicking on annotations, users can also give commands by boxing out areas. For example, box out excess "Keynote" text and ask the AI to remove it.
In this case, it is only through the ChatCanvas
function, it completes several accurate iterations of a static image and finally generates a dynamic video. The whole process does not require tedious text positioning, and the interaction is smooth and precise.
Linkage creation: from multi-graphic material to fusion of new life
ChatCanvas
The power of the program goes beyond single-image adjustments, as it supports the creation of multiple images in a linked fashion. This capability allows designers to accomplish complex puzzles and element fusion work directly in the drawing board.
To verify this, we set a more complex task: to create an image that contains the recent internet hit - Usagi drinking a Honey Snow Ice City drink under the Pearl of the Orient and getting hit by a laser. First, three core material images were prepared: Usachi, the Pearl of the Orient and the Honey Ice City drink.
The next key step is to add comments to each of the three images, defining their roles in the new composition. On the Usage image, the comment "Use this character"; on the Drink image, the comment "The character will hold this drink"; and finally, the most complex instruction was added to the Oriental Pearl image, specifying the reference position of the three elements, the overall style of the picture, and the final The most complex instructions were added to the Pearl of the Orient image, specifying the reference positions of the three elements, the overall style of the image and the final scale.
After executing the instruction, theLovart
The information from the three images was successfully merged to generate a new, fun picture that fits the description and can be further converted to video.
AX Interactive Milestones
Lovart
The practice of AX coincides with the previous discussion about AX in the industry. The future of software design will shift from user-centeredness (UX) to intelligence-centeredness (AX), where software is no longer just a passive tool, but more of an intelligent partner that remembers the user's goals, preferences, and history and proactively provides suggestions.

Chat with the left side of the ChatCanvas
Collaboration provides a near-perfect example of AX design. The AI gradually builds trust with the user by demonstrating its workflow and guiding the user to more precise needs. As the number of uses increases, the AI's understanding of the user grows deeper and deeper, leading to a "compounding effect" on the interaction: the less the user says, the more the AI is able to build trust with the user.Agent
The more proactive the implementation, the more it will be.

This update lays a new cornerstone for AX interactions in creative design and promises to be a new benchmark for software of its kind.
ChatCanvas
Rather than a simple annotation function, it transforms the one-way instruction model of "I say you do" into a two-way collaboration model of "we do it together". The user specifies the intent by tapping and checking boxes, while the AI understands the context and completes the details. Once you get used to this interactive experience of "chatting and changing", it's hard to go back to the traditional workflow, which is full of fragmentation.
