OpenAI launched Canvas on the 3rd, allowing users to collaborate with ChatGPT on writing and programming projects in different ways, no longer limited to simple conversations. Canvas will open in a separate window, enabling you to co-create and refine ideas with ChatGPT.
Claude previously released a similar feature called Artifacts, which aims to enhance the collaborative experience between users and AI. I've shared this before:
Comparison of Claude's Artifacts and ChatGPT's Canvas:
Writing:
: ChatGPT provides embedded suggestions and feedback. : Shorten or extend the document according to needs. : Adjust the reading level of the document, ranging from kindergarten to graduate school levels. : Check grammar, clarity, and consistency. : Add relevant emojis for emphasis and fun.
Coding:
: ChatGPT provides embedded suggestions to help improve the code. : Insert print statements to help debug and understand the code. : Add comments to the code to make it easier to understand. : Detect and rewrite problematic code to resolve errors. : Translate the code into JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, or PHP.
Comparison
The quality and accuracy of comments in Canvas were evaluated through human assessments. The results showed that the model integrated with Canvas improved by 30% in accuracy compared to zero-shot GPT-4o and by 16% in comment quality.
