OpenAI introduces Canvas, its latest ChatGPT interface

OpenAI has launched a new workspace interface for ChatGPT called Canvas. The AI ​​giant has unveiled its new ChatGPT workspace Her official blog I made it immediately available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users. Enterprise and Edu users will be able to access Canvas sometime next week.

Canvas is a virtual interface space for writing and coding projects that allows users to consult ChatGPT on specific parts of the project. A separate window opens alongside the main chat space and users can place writing or code on this new “canvas” and highlight sections for the model to focus on and edit “like a copy editor or code reviewer,” according to the blog.

The canvas can be opened manually by typing “use canvas” at your prompt. Canvas can also open automatically when it “detects a scenario it could be useful in,” according to the blog post. There are also many shortcuts that can be used to write and code projects. For writing projects, users can ask ChatGPT for suggested edits or length adjustments, or ask it to change the reading level for a block of text, from graduate level to kindergarten level. He can also add “relevant emojis for focus and color.”

Programmers can ask ChatGPT to review their code and add inline suggestions for improvements. It can also mark up your work with logs and comments to help debug and make your code easier to understand. It is also capable of fixing errors and port coding to a different language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++ or PHP in Canvas mode.

OpenAI’s Canvas feature brings ChatGPT in line with other AI assistants that have separate workspaces to focus on specific areas of a project such as Anthropic’s Artifacts and its programming-focused AI model Indicator.
