Furthering the convenience of artificial intelligence (AI) collaboration with writing and coding projects, OpenAI has released the beta version of their Canvas feature for ChatGPT today, October 3, available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users.
OpenAI’s Canvas is essentially a tool that allows for more complex tasks that need frequent revisions. It provides a separate window for working on these projects. With this comes ChatGPT’s newfound ability to provide inline feedback, task shortcuts, and targeted edits in a certain code or write-up.
“Canvas opens in a separate window, allowing you and ChatGPT to collaborate on a project. This early beta introduces a new way of working together—not just through conversation, but by creating and refining ideas side by side,” said the company in their blog post.
Users will be able to directly edit text or code, as well as restore the previous versions of their work. Shortcuts also include length adjustment, reading level configurations, edit suggestions, and adding emojis. For coding, there are shortcuts for reviewing, adding comments and logs, bug fixes, and porting code to different languages.
“We trained GPT-4o to collaborate as a creative partner. The model knows when to open a canvas, make targeted edits, and fully rewrite,” OpenAI added.
Plans are already in place to have Canvas expand to Enterprise, Edu, and Free users in the near future.
