Multiple product launches, including Cricut Joy 2, Cricut Explore 5, and Cricut EasyPress SE in February, also coincided with small positive moves. Today’s AI Project Designer launch extends that pattern of adding features within Design Space to deepen platform engagement.

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cricut®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRCT) has announced the launch of AI Project Designer, a new conversational tool that helps users generate and refine personalized designs perfectly optimized for cutting with Cricut machines. The tool is located within Cricut Design Space®, the software experience that powers Cricut's entire ecosystem of products and services.
Chat-Based Design Creation
The newest addition to the Cricut AI suite of tools, AI Project Designer allows users to describe their project idea in their own words and collaborate with AI to generate, edit, and refine ready-to-make designs. With a familiar chat experience, the tool simplifies the design process by enabling users to create and adjust designs through a conversational interface rather than navigating multiple editing tools.
Alongside the 1.7 million images in the Cricut Design Space library, AI Project Designer expands the limits of what’s possible by making creativity more accessible for users. Built directly into Design Space, the tool provides a single place to quickly collaborate on ideas and adjust details to create hyper-personalized designs. These generated designs can be further edited and refined by users on the Design Space Canvas before cutting and assembling their final project.
“For the past 20 years, we’ve been focused on one simple idea: making it easy for people to turn their ideas into personalized projects. AI Project Designer turns that intent into action. Instead of navigating tools, you simply describe what you want to make, and Cricut brings it to life. It’s a simpler, faster, and more intuitive way to create.” – Ashish Arora, Cricut CEO
