OpenAI Rolls Out Canvas To ChatGPT Users: Top Features, How to Use

OpenAI rolls out Canvas: OpenAI dropped another major update today. The company today launched Canvas, which its text and code editing tool, to all ChatGPT users across the globe.

"canvas is now available to all chatgpt users, and can execute code!...more importantly it can also still emojify your writing," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a post announcing the development.

-- It can expand or shorten the length of a document.
-- It can adjust the reading level of a document.
-- It can add emojis to a writing and edit it for grammar, clarity, and consistency.

Here are all the coding-based features that Canvas supports:

-- Canvas can insert print statements to assist with debugging and tracking execution.
-- It can also add comments to explain the code.
-- It can detect bugs and rewrite faulty codes.
-- It can translate a piece of code into other programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, Java, TypeScript, C++, or PHP.
-- It can also improve a piece of code.

OpenAI's Canvas: How to access it in ChatGPT?

ChatGPT users can access Canvas by tapping the Code button under the text bar on ChatGPT's web-based platform. Alternatively, users can also open ChatGPT on the web and type the prompt 'Open a coding Canvas' to get started.

Notably, the development comes a day after OpenAI announced Sora, its text-to-video generator model.
