OpenAI is beta testing a new workspace interface for ChatGPT called Canvas. The AI giant announced the new ChatGPT workspace on its official blog, and it’s now available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users. Enterprise and Edu users will be able to access Canvas within the next week.
Canvas is a virtual interface space for creating and coding projects that allows users to refer to ChatGPT for specific parts of a project. According to the blog, a separate window opens next to the main chat space where users can write and type code into this new “canvas,” highlight sections to focus on the model, and use the “copy editor and code You can edit it like a reviewer.
Canvases can also be opened manually by typing “use Canvas” at the prompt. According to the blog post, Canvas can also open automatically when it “detects a potentially useful scenario.”
There are also several shortcuts you can use to create and code projects. Users can ask ChatGPT to suggest edits, adjust length, change reading level, and emojis for their writing projects. Programmers can let ChatGPT review specific lines of code, add logs and comments for greater clarity, fix bugs, and write other languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, or PHP in canvas mode. You can port your coding to any language.
OpenAI’s Canvas feature allows ChatGPT to work with other AI assistants, such as Anthropic’s Artifacts and the coding-focused AI model Cursor, which have separate workspaces to focus on specific areas of a project.
