ChatGPT Canvas: OpenAI's New Interface for Writing and Coding

In this video, I introduce the new Canvas interface in ChatGPT that enhances collaborative experiences for writing and coding projects. Canvas offers a separate window for integration, allowing new levels of interaction with documents and code. This feature goes beyond traditional chat functions, making it similar to tools like GitHub Copilot. I discuss Canvas's abilities, like selecting code and implementing changes via natural language commands. Additionally, Canvas provides code reviews, bug fixes, and translations across multiple programming languages. Designed for collaboration, Canvas will roll out to ChatGPT Plus and team members before broader availability. The video also covers Canvas's beta status, its potential evolutions, and the user interface improvements expected in future updates. Finally, users are encouraged to explore Canvas for enhanced coding and writing experiences.

Amazing update!! I'm excited to see what else new improvement OpenAI has in the pipeline!

[gitmaxd]

Looks great, thanks for the nice Introduction!

[jbardet]

Omg this is amazing, I needed this so badly for a current writing project. Gemini in Google Docs was such a disappointment. This is freaking wonderful.

[szood]

Looks great! Thanks for showing this to us :)

[AlexanderMoen]

oh, nice. Looks like I have it. I'll have to try it out. I just started testing out Cursor though and like how it can handle multiple files and how I can quickly iterate with things. And, I want something like Claude with rendering the code live for you. Hopefully both of those are around the corner shortly

future of ai right there i hope google ai labs does something like that too

I personally found canvas is a great idea, however; It hasn't got a clue when it comes to coding! So I found the only one benefiting from this is the model learning code from your input. Let me explain I gave canvas a working code for a very small uncomplicated project, however; after canvas trying to fix an issue or add a function it got it all wrong! I also tested it's math and found it was far from reliable, even after giving correct results the AI could not get the calculation correct!

I got access to the canvas feature when I logged out and logged in again.

It would be nice if they allowed us to refer to orginal docs while working on code as in cursor.

[everythinghotd]

is there any limit for this like in the claude professional plan?

[thanhquachable]

i'll switch back if it is integrated into VS code

[Daaaaaaavid]

I can select the model, but the UI does not change 🤔

[sascha_becker]

Now if they just could release the Windows Desktop app...

[DWSP]

My question is, is it only for the desktop version of GPT I do most of my work from my cell phone

[theSatanist]

And its current state, it's horrible. I feel like I'm talking to a dog. All of my updated memories, PDFs I give it, and other information is basically disregarded and it just is stupid as 3.5! Actually maybe stupider
