In the world of design, creativity should never be hampered by tedious data entry. Yet, so many designers find themselves spending countless hours on the least enjoyable part of their workflow: copying, pasting, and formatting product information from various websites.Today, we're thrilled to announce a game-changing addition to Canoa's suite of AI-powered design tools: our new Web Clipper feature that automatically extracts structured product data from any URL.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our development process as CTO Nicolas Chaulet explains how he developed Canoa's new wall feature.

Navigate collections with ease while keeping your favorite items organized in a single, convenient location. Combined with the web clipper, these enhancements make product discovery and management more efficient than ever.
