ChatGPT Canvas: OpenAI’s New Interface for Writing and Coding

In this video, I introduce the new Canvas interface in ChatGPT that enhances collaborative experiences for writing and coding projects. Canvas offers a separate window for integration, allowing new levels of interaction with documents and code. This feature goes beyond traditional chat functions, making it similar to tools like GitHub Copilot. I discuss Canvas’s abilities, like selecting code and implementing changes via natural language commands. Additionally, Canvas provides code reviews, bug fixes, and translations across multiple programming languages. Designed for collaboration, Canvas will roll out to ChatGPT Plus and team members before broader availability. The video also covers Canvas’s beta status, its potential evolutions, and the user interface improvements expected in future updates. Finally, users are encouraged to explore Canvas for enhanced coding and writing experiences.
