Canvas: AI Mood Board for Home Design | Onton

Onton

Onton is a next-generation search and discovery engine. We’re a tight-knit San Francisco-based team building the future of shopping.
At a time when personalization and creative self-expression define how people shop, Onton is making it easier than ever to turn inspiration into action.

Ahead of the new year, Onton is introducing Canvas, an intuitive mood board tool that blends AI, curation, and shopping into one seamless creative experience. Whether you’re designing a cozy reading nook or reimagining your entire home, Canvas helps you visualize, personalize, and shop the look in minutes.

How Canvas Works

Canvas is Onton’s AI-powered “design surface” for home inspiration.
Users can drag and drop products from Onton's catalogue of 5+ million items to build your Canvas.
Every uploaded image connects directly to real products and shoppable links.
Use Onton's Imagine tool to generate realistic renderings of your space for your Canvas.
Create new versions of your ideas with one-click options to remix and explore variations.
It’s designed for everyone from casual home decorators to professional designers.

Why We Built Canvas

At Onton, we’ve seen how intensely visual the online shopping journey is and surfaces like Canvas are integral to how people discover and evaluate products. This creative process typically happens across disconnected platforms. The average shopper spends 79 days researching furniture across disconnected tabs and platforms, with 74% abandoning their carts because they feel bombarded by content, overwhelmed by choice, and frustrated by the effort required. We built Canvas to unify this experience, keeping the entire journey from discovery to transaction in one intuitive workspace.

Help Us Shape the Future

Canvas is still in its early days, and we're inviting you to help shape what comes next. Your feedback will directly influence how we build for visual discovery in this new era of AI-forward commerce.
