ChatGPT is getting a new capability that will make it easier for humans and artificial intelligence (AI) to collaborate together on a project. Just days after hosting its annual DevDay conference in San Francisco, OpenAI announced the new Canvas interface for the chatbot. The feature opens a separate window within the platform and allows users to edit the generated content or ask the AI to change parts of it using designated tools. The AI firm highlighted that this feature works with coding and creative writing projects.

ChatGPT gets new Canvas Interface

In a blog post, the AI firm detailed the new feature for ChatGPT. Canvas is a smaller window that opens within the chatbot’s interface. ChatGPT built this feature with GPT-4o, and users should have access to the model to use it. ChatGPT is rolling out the feature, which is currently in early beta to ChatGPT Plus and Team users globally. It will be expanded to Enterprise and Edu users next week. OpenAI also highlighted that Canvas will be available to all users once it is out of beta.

Canvas offers a new form of collaboration between humans and AI over projects. These are more complicated or require granular fine-tuning. Usually, the way ChatGPT works is users can add a prompt and the output is generated. In case the generated text is not satisfactory, users can add follow-up prompts, refine the initial prompt and hope for a better output. However, this trial and error method still does not take care of minor refinement needs.

With Canvas, users will now see new inline editing tools when the interface is active. For writing projects, there are five tools. “Suggest edits” will change the selected portion of the overall text while “Adjust the length” will allow users to shorten or lengthen the write-up. “Change reading level” can adjust the reading level of the text with options from Kindergarten to Graduate School.
