All about OpenAI

In 2024, OpenAI continues to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence, regularly offering new updates to its already famous virtual assistant. In recent months, some tools have become even more practical and intuitive for users. An example of this is the ChatGPT whiteboard, known as the old Canvas on the platform.

Created to facilitate the communication of complex ideas through drawings, notes and other graphic forms, the whiteboard makes explanations clearer and more engaging. In this way, it optimizes the query in ChatGPT, by enabling editing within a new tab, without the accumulation of information throughout the queries to the chatbot. Understand better in the article.

What is Chalkboard on ChatGPT?

The Whiteboard is the old Canvas

In October 2024, OpenAI launched Canvas. The tool was designed to make life easier for those who use chatGPT in projects that require editing and revisions. However, recently, the company decided to integrate this tool, and made it available among the search icons in the virtual assistant's conversation. In this way, what was Canvas became known as Whiteboard on ChatGPT.

Because of this, the new update made users think that Canvas had disappeared from the platform. However, it just got a new name and is integrated into one of the items in one of the icons below the ChatGPT search tab. But for those who haven't gotten to know Canvas, we'll explain more below.

Whiteboard: the tool that makes editing easier

According to OpenAI, in the presentation of its old Canvas, which is now Whiteboard, this functionality allows for a better understanding of the context in which you are working. This way, you can use it to highlight specific sections to indicate exactly what you want ChatGPT to focus on.

Therefore, the tool is applied as a text editor or code reviewer, which can offer feedback and suggestions directly in the context of the project as a whole. Above all, this prevents you from asking several questions one after the other, and editing a text, based on the suggestion that the chat is showing.

An example of this is when you ask for a complete email suggestion, you loved what ChatGPT suggested, but you didn't like the subject. This way, you can select just the subject and ask him to change that part. Afterwards, only this part will be changed and you will not have to make a new request below what the AI ​​assistant suggested, but only above the selected sentence, excerpt or paragraph within the entire project.

Additionally, you can request images during editing on the Whiteboard, placing them specifically where you want them in the text – this includes graphs, tables, emojis and various other design illustrations. When it comes to the text, you can also check the grammar, clarity and consistency, as well as choose the reading level (from kindergarten to postgraduate). And best of all, all of this, in-line.
