Canvas
Canvas is an interactive workspace within EmpowerGPT that allows you to create, edit, and refine content side-by-side with your chat. It is designed for tasks that benefit from iteration, structure, and version control—such as writing documents, drafting emails, or developing code.
With Canvas, you can seamlessly move from idea to polished output without leaving the EmpowerGPT interface.
Canvas is available for both Enterprise and World Knowledge Chat types under tools
What You Can Do with Canvas
Using Canvas, you can:
Draft and refine documents, emails, reports, and notes
Edit AI-generated content directly in a dedicated editor
Rewrite or reformat selected sections without affecting the rest of the document
Track and restore previous versions of your work
Develop, debug, and improve code in a focused editing environment
Accessing Canvas
Start a conversation Enterprise Knowledge or World Knowledge in EmpowerGPT.
Select Canvas from the available tools before sending your prompt.
Submit your request as usual.
Once the AI generates a response, Canvas automatically opens on the right side of the screen, displaying the generated content in an editable format.
Using Canvas
In-Line Editing
Canvas supports direct, in-place editing:
Type directly in the editor to make manual changes
Select specific text to request rewriting, reformatting, or improvement
This makes Canvas ideal for polishing language, restructuring paragraphs, or adjusting tone and clarity.
Version History
Canvas includes built-in versioning to support iterative work.
A version selector is available in the top-right corner of the Canvas
Each AI-assisted update creates a new version
You can navigate between previous versions at any time
Restore an earlier version if you prefer it over the latest changes
This ensures you never lose progress and can confidently experiment with different edits.
Copying Content
When your content is ready:
Use the Copy button in the top-right corner of the Canvas
This copies the entire document to your clipboard
Paste it into emails, documents, code editors, or other applications
Using Canvas for Coding
Canvas is equally powerful for development tasks.
You can use it to:
Write code from scratch
Fix bugs or refactor existing code
Review and improve code readability and structure
The side-by-side layout allows you to discuss changes in chat while applying them directly in the Canvas editor.
