ChatGPT’s ‘canvas’ interface produces it easier to produce and code

OpenAI has started a novel “canvas” interface for ChatGPT that permits employrs to adfair sections of text or code produced by the chatbot in a side-by-side collaboration. Canvas discdisthink abouts a split editing prosperdow next to the existing ChatGPT chat box, which can be employd to manuassociate alter text or code, or highairy particular sections to better aim editing proposeions and feedback from ChatGPT. 

“With canvas, ChatGPT can better comprehend the context of what you’re trying to accomplish,” OpenAI shelp in its proclaimment. “Making AI more beneficial and accessible needs reskinnyking how we transmit with it. Canvas is a novel approach and the first convey inant refresh to ChatGPT’s visual interface since we started two years ago.”

ChatGPT canvas supplys employrs with a menu of lowcuts for proposeing inline edits, rapidly examineing grammar and clarity, and adfairing the length and reading level of text. Some coding-particular lowcuts are also useable for debugging, compriseing logs and comments, and translating code into other languages. It’s a aenjoy concept to the “Artifacts” feature that rival AI enbiger Anthropic rolled out for Claude in August.

Prior to this, ChatGPT employrs would typicassociate necessitate to repeatedly input novel prompts to polish what the chatbot spat out. Canvas sounds a lot less tedious and gives employrs some compriseitional regulate. It supplys a back button that can revamp previous versions of toil, and OpenAI says it’s selectimizing when canvas will automaticassociate trigger — such as making it less predicted to trigger for coding tasks to shun disruptive power employrs.

The canvas interface is currently in beta and can be accessed by picking “GPT-4o with canvas” under ChatGPT’s model picker drop-down menu. It’s rolling out globassociate to ChatGPT Plus and Teams employrs, with access being enbiged to Enterpelevate and Edu employrs next week. When it’s out of beta, canvas will be useable for ChatGPT’s free employrs and automaticassociate discdisthink about “when ChatGPT distinguishs a scenario in which it could be beneficial,” according to OpenAI.
