Innovating with Intelligence
Generative AI
With the Generative AI canvas, you develop creative and innovative application ideas of Generative AI for your company and your customers. The canvas shows you the business potential of your data and the diverse possibilities of Artificial Intelligence.
What is the Generative AI Canvas?
The Generative AI Canvas is a tool designed to help teams brainstorm and refine application ideas that leverage generative artificial intelligence. Instead of focusing purely on analyzing existing data, generative AI goes a step further: it can produce entirely new content from a variety of inputs—text, images, audio, or even diagrams. By visually mapping out potential inputs, the functions that an AI might perform on these inputs, and the desired outputs, you gain a structured overview for exploring innovative use cases that align with your organization’s needs or your customers’ aspirations.
From envisioning AI-generated product descriptions to crafting synthetic images, models, or multimedia experiences, the Generative AI Canvas helps crystallize how generative models can transform raw data into valuable outputs. This approach encourages interdisciplinary collaboration—bringing together business experts, data specialists, and creative minds—to discover where AI-driven generation, transformation, and enhancement of content can create genuine value.
