ChatGPT’s new Canvas Mode can be your creative assistant; here’s how

Earlier in October, ChatGPT became more collaborative when OpenAI released Canvas mode for the AI chatbot. Since ChatGPT is constantly learning and updating, it gets better at providing solutions to meet your day-to-day problems. Since it is being used extensively, it is improving with every prompt.

The new Canvas mode is said to provide a more flexible way to create and edit text. This virtual assistant can be really helpful if you can channel it to suit your needs. Here’s how it works:

4 ways ChatGPT Canvas Mode can help you

The newly introduced Canvas Mode is said to be dynamic and more adaptable. It can parse through data in real-time and help to coordinate multiple things in a single layout. Here are four ways to use Canvas Mode to facilitate your needs.

Weekly Planning

You can ask ChatGPT to make a list of tasks or appointments based on the information you supply. With Canvas Mode, you do not have to redo the list whenever something changes. It can rearrange and edit the plan as required.

All you need to do is ask ChatGPT to create a section for each day or task category. In Canvas mode, you can drag these items around, prioritise them, and quickly edit descriptions through your smartphone.

For example, if you need to move an appointment from Monday to Wednesday, highlight that activity, click the ‘ask ChatGPT’ button and ask the AI to move it to the right time and day. You can also customise it visually or ask for automated reminders.

Canvas Mode can generate summaries to provide a concise overview of upcoming tasks or events. In totality, it can dynamically organise your life.

Event Planning

Event planning usually requires one to manage guest lists to coordinate schedules and activities. Using Canvas Mode, the event becomes visible in a single space. Input from many sources can be added and summarised by regular ChatGPT but in Canvas mode, the AI can finesse, edit, and combine details within a single outline for an event.

One of the most powerful features used here is the AI’s ability to write code to automate tasks. For example, you might want to invite and track guests automatically. ChatGPT can write a small script for automatically emailing invitations, tracking RSVPs, and updating the list in real-time.

It also edits the code to send reminder emails to those who haven’t responded yet. Your event planner is all set and you can request an update at any time.

Tracking Personal Growth

Just like a smartwatch, ChatGPT’s Canvas Mode can help you track your fitness goals or even keep your hobbies organised. You can describe your workouts, meal plans, and goals, and the AI will set up charts to match. In case you need to update your routine or diet, Canvas Mode’s editing feature allows you to revise your plans.

It can even track your progress and fetch raw data from an app if data is stored separately. AI can summarise it, incorporate it into the overall plan, and mark your milestones.

Home Project Planning

In case you are taking up a project like redecorating your home. You can use ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas, switching to Canvas mode can help to arrange the elements visually and even calculate measurements with embedded code.

It can set up templates and create sections within Canvas Mode for each phase of the project. Basically, this virtual assistant can help you sort, organise, and plan events in your routine life and suggest dynamic solutions. Thereby, providing almost stress-free revisions.
