Flato is an AI designer native to the canvas. It sees what you see — understanding layout, hierarchy, and visual structure in real time — and edits alongside you with fully editable elements. From layout to motion to video, everything exists as one continuous system on a single canvas.
@murad_hoque That’s a great observation — editing the AI output is exactly the problem we’re trying to solve with the canvas approach.
Right now, Flato is mainly focused on human–AI collaboration, making it easy for a single creator to iterate and refine designs directly on the canvas.
In future versions, we’re definitely planning to expand into stronger human–human collaboration as well — especially for teams and brand management. The goal is to help everyone in a team create designs that stay brand-aligned, even when multiple people are contributing.
Really appreciate the question!
As someone who makes posters, presentations, and social content almost every day, Canva AI has been hit or miss for me. I love that Flato is built by a designer who actually gets the process.
The part about iterating on a canvas like a real designer sounds game-changing.
Does it support custom brand colors/fonts strictly? And can you really make motion graphics and videos all in the same canvas without switching apps?
@xiaoxue_bu Thanks for the thoughtful comment — really appreciate it! As a designer myself, that’s exactly why I wanted to build Flato this way.
For brand control, yes — you can simply drag your logo onto the canvas and Flato will automatically extract the brand colors from it. You can also specify things directly in the prompt, for example:
“Create a poster with primary color #FF8687 and font Philosopher.”
And about motion: absolutely. You can first create a text layout or poster on the canvas, then just tell Flato something like:
“Animate it with a type-in effect.”
It will turn the static design into motion right on the same canvas — no need to switch tools.
Would love to hear how it fits into your daily poster or social workflow if you give it a try!
@taoef I tried making a slide with flato, and it’s surprisingly good — even better than Gamma in some cases.
The image matching is especially impressive. It automatically found great images for every page in seconds.
Nice work! I’ve already used up my credits — could I get a code for more?
@isreal_becker Thanks for trying Flato and for the kind words! Really happy to hear the slide experience worked well for you — the image matching is something we spent a lot of time tuning.
Here’s a one-time code for more credits so you can keep experimenting:

Feel free to push it a bit further — try posters, social content, or even animating the slides on the same canvas. I’d love to hear what else works (or doesn’t) as you explore!
do you happen to have any extra credits or promo codes for the Product Hunt community to fully test it out?
@xjn Great question! Yes — here’s a one-time code for you to try more features:

Feel free to use it and push Flato a bit — posters, slides, motion, anything. I’d really love to hear what you think after testing it.
If anyone else from the Product Hunt community wants extra credits to experiment with Flato, just leave a comment and I’ll share more codes.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I’m the maker of Flato.ai.
Flato started from a simple observation: creating good visual content is still harder than it should be.
AI tools can generate designs, but they’re often hard to control. Traditional design tools give you control, but they’re slow and require a lot of manual work.
I wanted something in between.
So I built Flato.ai — an AI designer where AI generation and manual editing work together.
You can generate layouts and elements with AI, then freely edit, drag, tweak, and refine them just like in a design tool. No need to regenerate everything when you want small changes.
Flato also makes it easy to animate elements, preview the result instantly, and export to multiple formats like video or PDF.
The goal is simple:
help anyone go from an idea to a polished visual faster — without fighting the tool.
We’re still early and would love to hear what you think, what you’d build with it, and how we can make it better.
Thanks for checking out Flato.ai 🙌
Hi Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m the maker of Flato AI. We are incredibly thrilled to share our product with you today! 🎉
The Problem:
As creators, we noticed a huge friction in the modern design workflow. Content creation is often fragmented—you design a static social post or slide in one tool, switch to another for motion graphics, and use yet another for video editing. It breaks the creative flow and wastes so much time.
Our Solution:
We built Flato AI to bridge this gap. It is an AI Designer that operates on one continuous canvas. We wanted to create a space where static design and motion work as a single, unified AI design system.
Here is what makes Flato AI special:
✨ Context-Aware AI: Unlike tools that just generate random images, our AI actually "sees" what you see. It understands your elements, layouts, timing, and visual relationships.
🎬 Layouts & Motion in One Place: From storyboarding a slide to animating a video, everything comes together seamlessly on the same canvas.
🤝 True Co-creation: You are always in the driver's seat. You can edit manually, or use our chat feature to turn text into design. Every change stays synced in real-time.
We’ve also prepared Flato Starters to help you get inspired and jump right into the action.
We would absolutely love for you to try it out! Your feedback is the most valuable thing to us right now. What do you think of the continuous canvas workflow? What features would you like to see next?
I’ll be here all day to answer your questions and chat with you all. Let's create something amazing together! 🚀
