ChatGPT shook the world when we found out all of the things that it could do. Since then, people have used it to generate millions of pieces of media using the chatbot. However, for people who don’t want to use it to generate content for them, OpenAI just announced Canvas. This is a separate interface that people can use to help them with their writing and coding.
We’re at a point where much of the media we see on the internet could have come from an AI model. This is a sad reality, as AI is a powerful technology that could greatly increase a person’s productivity. However, there are far too many people who want to generate content for them and put forth zero effort into creating anything.
OpenAI just announced Canvas, a platform to help with your writing and coding
Canvas is a separate interface that you’ll be able to summon when you’re working on a project. To summon it, just type “use canvas” into the ChatGPT text field. When you do, you’ll see the Canvas pop up in its own windows.
Just like with ChatGPT, it will have access to files that you upload. OpenAI gives an example of creating a blog post from the users’ notes. When it generates the draft, you’ll have access to several editing tools to help you refine it. It can act as a copywriter for you if you need an assistant to help you edit your work. You can set the reading level, edit specific parts of the text, and even have it generate new titles for you. It will be just like having a human assistant with you.
OpenAI Canvas won’t only help you with writing. It will also help you with your coding. You’re able to select sections of your code and ask ChatGPt anything about it. You can ask it to add comments, review the code, fix bugs, and so on.
You’re also able to have it generate bits of code for you. All you have to do is type what you want ChatGPT to do, and it will perform the task.
You can access this feature if you’re a ChatGPT Plus or Teams user. Enterprise and EDU users will gain access next week.
