Who can set up context sources?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone with admin access to the workspace
Context sources act as a workspace-level brand memory layer that feeds information into AI generation in Air Canvas. It is a dedicated configuration layer that ensures the AI only references explicitly added brand assets. Setup can begin from the Context URL-based brand generation flow or by asking the agent in Canvas to create a brand kit from a website URL. You can refresh brand context from the Context workflow or ask the agent in Canvas to regenerate the brand kit from a URL. Creating or regenerating a brand kit from a website URL updates Context brand information used by Canvas, including logos, fonts, colors, and guidance. Once configured, Context is automatically applied to all AI generation in Canvas across the workspace, running seamlessly in the background without needing to be activated per session. In this article, we'll walk through how to add and configure fields for colors, fonts, logos, and custom instructions. You can also adjust field order later to organize your brand memory the way you need.
Creating or regenerating from Canvas
Ask the agent in Canvas to create a workspace Brand Kit from a website URL. When brand information changes, ask the agent to regenerate the Brand Kit from a URL.
Adding a new field
To set up context sources to work with Air's Canvas, you begin by adding fields to your workspace context. These act similarly to custom fields on Air, providing categories that various field values will be able to be added to.
Navigate to your workspace context and add a field by clicking the three dots menu button from the top left of the header and selecting Add field, or clicking the blue Add field button if you are in an empty state
In the New field modal, enter a name for your field
Choose what kind of values this field will hold
Text
File
Color
Font
Select Create
Once the field is created, it will appear as a new category ready for values.
Workspace admins can reorder context source fields at any time by hovering over a field header and dragging the handle to move the field into a different position.
Refreshing context from a URL
If your brand information changes or you want to rebuild your setup, workspace admins can regenerate brand context from a URL. Open the context source menu and select Regenerate from URL to refresh the reusable brand information Canvas uses for prompts and edits. Workspace admins can also ask the agent in Canvas to regenerate the brand kit from a URL.
Refining brand-kit values from Canvas
While working in Canvas, open Context from the left sidebar and choose the brand kit you want the agent to reference. The panel shows stored logos, colors, and fonts so you can confirm which brand values are available before prompting the agent.
To adjust how a specific value is used, select the pencil icon on a logo, color, or font value and update its label or AI instructions. Custom AI instructions tell the Canvas AI agent how to apply that value to generated or edited images, such as when a logo should be placed or which brand color should replace an image background.
Select Save after editing a value. The modal closes and later Canvas AI edits use the updated context preferences.
Example workflow:
Select the images you want to edit on the canvas and ask the agent to change the backgrounds to brand colors.
Open Context from the left sidebar and choose the active brand kit.
Review the available logos, colors, and fonts.
Edit a logo or color instruction with the pencil icon if the agent needs more specific brand guidance.
Review the updated branded outputs on the canvas.
Adding text
Text fields are a freeform space where admins can describe the brand's voice, tone, style direction, and any rules for what AI output should or shouldn't include. Think of it as a guiding document for anything related to your brand/image.
