OpenAI introduces Canvas: A new way to collaborate with ChatGPT for writing and coding
OpenAI has introduced a new interface called “Canvas,” designed to enhance collaboration with ChatGPT for writing and coding projects. Unlike the standard chat interface, Canvas allows users to interact with their projects more dynamically by opening in a separate window where users and ChatGPT can work side by side. This feature, currently in beta, is available for ChatGPT Plus and Team users, with plans to extend access to Enterprise and Edu users soon. Once the beta phase is complete, the feature will eventually be made available to ChatGPT Free users.
Canvas uses GPT-4o and can be manually selected in the model picker. The aim is to offer a better interface for tasks requiring multiple revisions and edits, such as writing content or coding. The chat interface works well for many tasks, but canvas is designed to address the needs of users working on more complex projects that benefit from a more structured environment.
