Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETChatGPT can produce high-quality code and text. These generative capabilities are popular use cases for the generative AI tool. To help users get even more out of their experiences, OpenAI is introducing a new feature — Canvas.

On Thursday, OpenAI unveiled the interface that opens in a separate window, making it easier to collaborate on your writing and coding projects with ChatGPT, and unlock a new, more in-depth level of assistance:
We’re introducing canvas, a new way of working with ChatGPT to write and code.
Canvas lets you create & refine your ideas side by side with ChatGPT — giving you control to directly edit, indicate where ChatGPT should focus, and get targeted suggestions.https://t.co/NCh0PkOKHJ

There is often a back-and-forth revision process when using ChatGPT to help with writing or coding. This process can become challenging because the original upload can get lost in the chat interface with every edit, follow-up point, or question.
Now, users can view the ChatGPT interface on the right of the project to ask questions about the project without losing the flow of the conversation. When opened on the project, the interface also features writing and coding shortcuts that can perform tasks at the touch of a button.
The writing shortcuts help users suggest edits, adjust lengths, change reading levels, add emojis, and “add final polish”, which checks for grammar, clarity, and consistency, as seen in the image at the top of this story. The coding shortcuts can review code, add logs, add comments, fix bugs, and port to a language.
When the project is open in Canvas, users can highlight specific parts they’d like assistance with. Canvas will open automatically when ChatGPT detects a scenario where it would be helpful. Users can also call on it by manually selecting the tool in the toggle picker under “ChatGPT 4o with Canvas”.
OpenAI trained Canvas to “collaborate as a creative partner”, with its research team developing core behaviors such as rewriting documents, providing inline critiques, generating diverse content types, and more.

Canvas is available now in early beta to ChatGPT Plus and Team users. ChatGPT Plus membership costs $20/month and includes other perks, such as the new Voice Mode and unlimited image generations. Enterprise and Edu users will get access to Canvas next week, with ChatGPT free users getting access in the future once the tool is out of beta.
