hursday, OpenAI launched a new ChatGPT interface to interact with. The “Canvas” product opens in an individual window near the normal chat box that allows
users with the power of artificial intelligence to generate writing and AI coding projects directly in the canvas. After that, users can highlight sections from the work to be edited by the model.
The new “Canvas” interface is coming first in a beta version to ChatGPT Plus and Teams and next week will be available for Enterprise and Edu users, but the company plans to make this feature free once it’s out of the beta version.
Canvas can help those users who are using ChatGPT every day to generate writing and AI code because the ChatGPT interface is really easy to use and it works well for various tasks with a limit for those projects that require editing and changes. But with the new AI addition, ChatGPT will be able to have a better understanding of the tasks that users try to accomplish. And for this, every user will have the ability to highlight certain parts to indicate what ChatGPT should focus on.
It’s important to know that users control the project in Canvas and they can directly edit or code. There’s also a menu with shortcuts that can ask ChatGPT different questions such as to adjust the writing length, debug a code, and other tasks to experience the enhanced developer AI potential of this tool.
For now, the chatbots that are powered by artificial intelligence are not able to finish a larger project with just a single prompt but usually, they can create a perfect starting point. These workspaces that are editable such as Canvas allow its users to adjust some wrong parts from an artificial intelligence chatbot output without the need to inspect the prompt and generate a new stretch of AI code.
According to TechCrunch , the OpenAI product manager Daniel Levine said in a demo “This is just a more natural interface for collaborating with ChatGPT” .
In his demo, the product manager has to select the “GPT-4o with canvas” from the ChatGPT model picker. But OpenAI guarantees that Canvas windows will pop out automatically in the case when ChatGPT detects that an individual workspace can be helpful, but users also can write the sentence “use Canvas” to project earlier their window.
