Canvas, OpenAI’s text and code editor, is now available for all ChatGPT users. It also now lets people run Python code.
OpenAI is extending access to its side-by-side digital editing space, Canvas, to all ChatGPT users and added new features, the company announced today in a livestream, the fourth of its “12 Days of OpenAI”-holiday themed announcements.
Canvas, which was announced in October, was previously only available to paying ChatGPT Plus, Teams, Edu and Enterprise subscribers.
Available on desktop web browsers, it converts ChatGPT’s traditional interface with a conversation at the top and text entry box at the bottom into a left-hand sidebar, and on the right side of the chat session screen, adds a new space for the content the user is working on — such as a code block for an application or a text document.
When a user converses with ChatGPT and asks for changes to the content on the right sidebar, it will appear automatically there with the changes implemented, rather than generating a whole new text response in the traditional interface.
