New York – October 08, 2026 -- Corel has rolled out a Text-to-vector AI workflow in its September 2026 Update to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2026, letting designers convert written prompts into editable, scalable vector graphics directly inside the application. The update was reviewed by Consumer365, which flagged the feature as the centerpiece of the release alongside a reworked PowerTRACE engine and expanded CorelDRAW Web tools.

Text-to-vector tool turns prompts into editable vector objects

The new capability sits inside CorelDRAW's AI Generate docker, letting users start either from a text prompt or existing artwork. Output arrives as editable vector objects with manual node control, rather than locked raster images, and supports styles including Line art, Comic book, and Icon. Color handling follows the active document's color mode, aligning generated assets with existing production files.

Louisville, Colo. – October 07, 2026 -- Ninety-two percent of organizations reported at least one AI-related incident or exposure in the past 12 months, according to a new JumpCloud study of 250 IT leaders in the U.S. and U.K. titled "Enterprise AI Access Is Outpacing Control." More than half of organizations now deploy AI agents capable of changing systems, permissions, or files, yet 59% of those using such agents do not apply the same governance rules used for human employees.

Identity integration lags as AI agents gain system access

Only 41% of organizations using AI agents have fully folded those agents into the identity and access management (IAM) policies governing human users, the study found. The remaining 59% operate without full integration, leaving a structural gap between how human and machine identities are controlled.
