ChatGPT's Canvas feature is a real-time editor to inspire your writing...
Day four of OpenAI's 12 Days of OpenAI introduces the wider release of ChatGPT's Canvas feature, designed to enhance collaboration between users and the AI chatbot. Unlike the old Clippy from Microsoft Word, this new tool integrates advanced AI capabilities without any intrusive avatars.
Canvas facilitates cooperative writing and coding projects with ChatGPT. Users can seek assistance in composing and revising texts or code directly on the shared Canvas page. The recent upgrades to Canvas have expanded its functionality for a more seamless experience.
Enhanced Editing Experience
Instead of receiving a static response and transferring it for modifications, users can now edit responses within the Canvas interface. This real-time interaction allows users to provide feedback on the AI's suggestions promptly, fostering a dynamic writing partnership akin to collaborating with a human counterpart, but with accelerated results.
When inserting large text segments into Canvas, the AI prompts a "Get Advice" or "Help Me Write" option. Users need to approve edits before the AI implements changes, ensuring control over the content's final form. Additionally, users can request comments on their work without automatically triggering a rewrite.
AI Assistance for Programmers
Programmers seeking AI support can leverage Canvas for editing and debugging tasks. The AI provides suggestions for enhancement, identifies errors in the code, and offers solutions. Users can seamlessly switch the AI chatbot to code editor mode by pasting code into Canvas.
A noteworthy upgrade in the general release is Canvas's ability to edit and translate code into Python. The introduction of a "Run" button enables users to execute written code, view the output in a console window, and receive error alerts with suggestions for resolution.
Customization with Custom GPTs
Canvas now integrates with Custom GPTs, allowing users to embed the feature into their customized AI chatbots. This integration opens up vast opportunities for personalization by combining Canvas with tailored AI models. Users can envision applications like a storytelling GPT offering detailed feedback or a data analysis GPT running Python scripts through Canvas.
If you're eager to explore Canvas, the feature is now accessible to ChatGPT users in its official release outside of beta testing.
