On writing and coding projects, the new collaboration function operates in a window that is separate from the other windows.
Canvas is a new workspace interface under development by OpenAI for ChatGPT that is currently in beta. In a post on its blog, the Whiz Company has showcased the new interface dubbed the workspace, which is already live for subscribers to ChatGPT Plus and Team. Users on Enterprise and Edu will, however, be able to access Canvas which will be available by next week.
Using Canvas, which is a space for the creation and coding of projects, the users are able to consult ChatGPT on the specific components of a project. In answer to a question, the blog states that other than the main chat room, another window opens, where users can place text or code on the so-called ‘canvas’. They can even point out the parts that they want the model to work on and change ‘like a copy editor or code reviewer’.
Open Canvas manually by typing “use canvas” in the prompt. It is also possible to open Canvas on a more automatic basis. In addition, as the post explains, Canvas possesses the additional functionality of opening by itself whenever ‘it sees fit to do so,’ or in other words, whenever ‘it can help’.
In addition, there are a number of shortcuts that can be utilized through the process of creating and coding projects. For example, while working on writing projects, users can turn to ChatGPT and ask the bot to make edits, shorten or lengthen the text, change the reading level, or provide the response in the form of emojis. Apart from that, while in the Canvas mode of the program being run, programmers can ask ChatGPT to analyze particular fragments of the source code, enhance them through logs and comments for better understanding, fix bugs, and translate the programming to another language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, or PHP.
Harrison 01:54 Neon has its very own Canvas component that makes ChatGPT comparable to other AI assistants that have designated work areas to focus on specific tasks in a project. This would include tools like Artifacts by Anthropic or an AI model such as Cursor which is built around programming tasks.
