We’re introducing canvas, a new interface for working with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects that go beyond simple chat. Canvas opens in a separate window, allowing you and ChatGPT to collaborate on a project. This early beta introduces a new way of working together—not just through conversation, but by creating and refining ideas side by side.   

I’m not sure that I get this tool from the outset, but I’m curious to try it. I’ve been wishing Xcode would have some sort of ChatGPT integration, or use Apple Intelligence of some sort, sot hat I could get help coding simple iOS apps. 

This tool might be helpful on that front.

Now, with the writing tools that Canvas suggests, I’m not interested in a tool that will draft up an article from a prompt, that’s not interesting at all. But I wouldn’t mind something that reviewed my longform writing and helped suggest improvements to the structure. 

A friend recently suggested some writing tools that do just that, and I’m curious to explore them. I haven’t really looked at longform tools in a while, since publishing my last book, but my dream would be something that helps me (as a scattered writer) see an outline of what I have and help me sort and organize it.
