OpenAI
has
launched
a
new
“canvas”
interface
for
ChatGPT
that
allows
users
to
adjust
sections
of
text
or
code
generated
by
the
chatbot
in
a
side-by-side
collaboration.
Canvas
opens
a
separate
editing
window
next
to
the
existing
ChatGPT
chat
box,
which
can
be
used
to
manually
change
text
or
code,
or
highlight
specific
sections
to
better
target
editing
suggestions
and
feedback
from
ChatGPT.
“With
canvas,
ChatGPT
can
better
understand
the
context
of
what
you’re
trying
to
accomplish,”
OpenAI
said
in
its
announcement.
“Making
AI
more
useful
and
accessible
requires
rethinking
how
we
interact
with
it.
Canvas
is
a
new
approach
and
the
first
major
update
to
ChatGPT’s
visual
interface
since
we
launched
two
years
ago.”
ChatGPT
canvas
provides
users
with
a
menu
of
shortcuts
for
suggesting
inline
edits,
quickly
checking
grammar
and
clarity,
and
adjusting
the
length
and
reading
level
of
text.
Some
coding-specific
shortcuts
are
also
available
for
debugging,
adding
logs
and
comments,
and
translating
code
into
other
languages.
It’s
a
similar
concept
to
the
“Artifacts”
feature
that
rival
AI
developer
Anthropic
rolled
out
for
Claude
in
August.
Prior
to
this,
ChatGPT
users
would
typically
need
to
repeatedly
input
new
prompts
to
refine
what
the
chatbot
spat
out.
Canvas
sounds
a
lot
less
tedious
and
gives
users
some
additional
control.
It
provides
a
back
button
that
can
restore
previous
versions
of
work,
and
OpenAI
says
it’s
optimizing
when
canvas
will
automatically
activate
—
such
as
making
it
less
likely
to
trigger
for
coding
tasks
to
avoid
disruptive
power
users.
The
canvas
interface
is
currently
in
beta
and
can
be
accessed
by
selecting
“GPT-4o
with
canvas”
under
ChatGPT’s
model
picker
drop-down
menu.
It’s
rolling
out
globally
to
ChatGPT
Plus
and
Teams
users,
with
access
being
expanded
to
Enterprise
and
Edu
users
next
week.
When
it’s
out
of
beta,
canvas
will
be
available
for
ChatGPT’s
free
users
and
automatically
open
“when
ChatGPT
detects
a
scenario
in
which
it
could
be
helpful,”
according
to
OpenAI.
