- Google is developing a new “canvas” feature in Gemini to help you write and code.
- Gemini Canvas could have been inspired by Chatgpt Canvas, who has similar writing and coding features on the desktop.
- Unlike chatgpts at the moment desk version, Google could bring this functionality first to smartphones via Gemini.
Google has been hard at job building Gemini To be the ultimate AI digital assistant you can use on your Android phone. While features that Gemini extensions Is unique and utilizes how we use our phones, Google also explores features that other assistants have received right. Google now seems to look at one of Chatgpt’s recent features for inspiration, and it can allow Gemini to help you write and code better.
Ease APK Demolition Helps predict features that may come to a service in the future based on work code. However, it is possible that such predicted functions may not come to a public release.
Google App V16.7.21 Beta gives new name to Previously discovered composer option to the canvas. Composer/canvas allows you to “write documents and code” according to the strings we have previously seen, which does not tell us much about the functionality.
We managed to activate the renamed canvas function for a quick demo. Once the canvas option is selected, Gemini will add a Canvas Text to the entrance box.
We could not get the function to work beyond this.
So what can the canvas in Gemini really be? For that we must look elsewhere, namely at competitor Chatgpts Canvas function.
Chatgpt introduced Canvas Last year as a new way of “writing and code” in the AI ​​tool (sounds familiar?). Canvas opens in a separate window, so you and Chatgpt can collaborate on a project.
With canvas, chatgpt can better understand the context of what you are trying to achieve. You can highlight specific sections to indicate exactly what you want chatgpt to focus on. As a copy editor or code reviewer, it can provide feedback and suggestions with the entire project in mind.
So if we are allowed to speculate, it would not be too wrong to guess that Google is looking at Chatgpt’s canvas feature for inspiration for Gemini’s canvas/composer feature that lets you write and code. We expect to see a similar collaboration interface for longer tasks that require continuous assistance and feedback instead of smaller, singular tasks that the chat UX can already perform.
Chatgpt’s canvas function is already available on stationary machines, but a mobile version is expected to move forward. As such, Gemini theoretically could turn chatgpt to the stop by bringing this feature to mobile users first.
We do not know when Google will launch the canvas, as the feature is still under active development. It can also change shape when it gets closer to. We keep you up to date when we learn more.
