What is Krita AI Diffusion?
Krita's AI plugin moves to Krita 6 and drops support for Krita 5 in its next release.
The plugin tracks the open image-model ecosystem closely. Version 1.53.0 added Anima segmentation control and CUDA 13 while removing Nunchaku and insightface, which forced some users to redownload models. The 1.54.0 pre-release on October 3 migrates to Krita 6 and Qt6, stops working with Krita 5.x, adds Qwen Image 2.1, and is known to perform poorly on macOS.
What is Kittl?
Kittl's Marketing Studio hands small businesses 250+ ad and post templates to start from.
Kittl has spent the autumn turning its design editor into an AI production service for small businesses: Brand Studio, a Creative Agent for briefs, UGC Studio for product videos, video editing and access from ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. Marketing Studio adds a library of 250+ ad and post formats that apply the user's brand and resize for each platform; the source post is truncated.

Krita AI Diffusion
0.0DESIGN
Krita's AI plugin moves to Krita 6 and drops support for Krita 5 in its next release.
◆ Current state
The plugin tracks the open image-model ecosystem closely. Version 1.53.0 added Anima segmentation control and CUDA 13 while removing Nunchaku and insightface, which forced some users to redownload models. The 1.54.0 pre-release on October 3 migrates to Krita 6 and Qt6, stops working with Krita 5.x, adds Qwen Image 2.1, and is known to perform poorly on macOS.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release moves the floor: first the model set and server stack, now the host application itself. Users who stay on Krita 5 will be left on 1.53.
◆ Prediction
A stable 1.54.0 should follow once the macOS performance problem is fixed; the timing is unclear from a single pre-release.
Kittl
5.0DESIGN
Kittl's Marketing Studio hands small businesses 250+ ad and post templates to start from.
◆ Current state
Kittl has spent the autumn turning its design editor into an AI production service for small businesses: Brand Studio, a Creative Agent for briefs, UGC Studio for product videos, video editing and access from ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. Marketing Studio adds a library of 250+ ad and post formats that apply the user's brand and resize for each platform; the source post is truncated.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release removes another step a non-designer would otherwise take: deciding what to make, matching the brand, producing video, resizing. Kittl is packaging these as named studios on top of Brand Studio's brand data.
◆ Prediction
Expect more studios aimed at specific outputs, such as storefront or email assets, all drawing on Brand Studio. The truncated post leaves unclear how much of Marketing Studio is AI-generated versus curated.
