It makes OpenAI a new major player in the AI video space.

Then, yesterday we got ChatGPT Canvas for all users and part of the main model.

This adds a code editor and text editor to OpenAI’s already extensive product toolkit.

There are still eight announcements to go and with so much to cover we’re doing it live.

The latest from OpenAI brings a new level of interactivity and collaboration toChatGPT.

By opening a dedicated workspace, I was able to start a draft on the page or upload text.

From there, I could edit and refine text or code in real-time.

Users can either start their project directly in Canvas or transition from a chat conversation by typing use Canvas.

It’s elevated the way I outline, brainstorm and edit.

OpenAI making the feature free to everyone is just the icing on the AI cake.

OpenAI has not been shy at dropping hints like this in the past.

It offered a “limited preview of GPT-4.5” as a Team plan perk.

This has since been removed.

I’m told they are working to add capacity and that it will be back sporadically until then.

For precise information, it’s advisable to follow official channels for the forthcoming announcement.

Integrating voice and vision would make AI more intuitive and human-like, allowing for richer, more dynamic interactions.
