ChatGPT will soon get a new interface as OpenAI has introduced Canvas, meant for writing and coding projects. According to ChatGPT, Canvas opens in a separate window, allowing you and ChatGPT to collaborate on a project. In a blog post, OpenAI said that currently in beta form, Canvas introduces a new way of collaboration but not just through conversation, rather by creating and refining ideas side by side. “Canvas is a new approach and the first major update to ChatGPT’s visual interface since we launched two years ago,” said OpenAI.

OpenAI said that Canvas was built with GPT-4o and can be manually selected in the model picker while in beta. “Starting today we’re rolling out canvas to ChatGPT Plus and Team users globally. Enterprise and Edu users will get access next week,” said OpenAI. It also plans to make canvas available to all ChatGPT Free users when it’s out of beta.

What will Canvas interface be like?

OpenAI said that the current though the chat interface is easy to use and works well for many tasks, it’s limited when you want to work on projects that require editing and revisions. “With canvas, ChatGPT can better understand the context of what you’re trying to accomplish,” said OpenAI. Users  can highlight specific sections to indicate exactly what they want ChatGPT to focus on. “Like a copy editor or code reviewer, it can give inline feedback and suggestions with the entire project in mind,” explained OpenAI. There’s a menu of shortcuts for users to ask ChatGPT to adjust writing length, debug code, and quickly perform other useful actions.

Canvas opens automatically when ChatGPT detects a scenario in which it could be helpful. “You can also include “use canvas” in your prompt to open canvas and use it to work on an existing project,” said OpenAI.

Users can include writing shortcuts like Suggest edits, which will lead ChatGPT to offer inline suggestions and feedback. Or they can change reading level, adjust the length of the document or even add emojis.
