OpenAI’s ChatGPT Breaks Out of Its Box—and Onto a Canvas

OpenAI has launched a new beta feature called "canvas" for ChatGPT, offering a split interface for writers and coders. The tool allows AI-assisted editing, version control, and specialized shortcuts for tasks like condensing text or adding code comments. Canvas represents a step towards more "agentic" AI systems that can make decisions and work alongside users. While similar to features from Google and Anthropic, canvas showcases the ongoing evolution of AI interfaces beyond traditional chatbots.
