New ways to collaborate and get creative with Gemini
Gemini can already help you brainstorm ideas, do deep research and generate content for whatever project you’re working on. And starting today, Gemini can offer even more help, whether it’s editing a document with you in real time or taking your idea and coding a real prototype.
Collaborate with Canvas
Canvas is a new interactive space within Gemini designed to make creating, refining and sharing your work easy. Simply select ‘Canvas’ in your prompt bar and you can write and edit documents or code, with changes appearing in real-time.
Effortlessly generate high-quality first drafts, then quickly perfect your work using Gemini’s feedback to suggest edits. Need to update specific sections or entire drafts? Easily adjust the tone, length or formatting with quick editing tools. For example, highlight a paragraph and ask Gemini to make it more concise, professional or informal. Whether you're crafting a speech, need help revising an essay, a blog post or a report, Canvas can help you maximize your creative output.
Canvas is designed for seamless collaboration with Gemini. If you want to collaborate with others on the content you just made, you can export it to Google Docs with a click.
Code with confidence in Canvas
Gemini already simplifies programming and software development tasks, including code generation, debugging and code explanation. Now, Canvas streamlines the process of transforming your coding ideas into working prototypes for web apps, Python scripts, games, simulations and other interactive apps. Canvas empowers developers to quickly create initial working versions of their projects and provides a space for students to quickly learn coding concepts. Throughout the process, Gemini collaborates with you to make iterative edits to your code.
Within Canvas, you can generate and preview your HTML/React code and other web app prototypes to see a visual representation of your design. For example, say you want to create an email subscription form for your website. You can ask Gemini to generate the HTML for the form and then preview how it will appear and function within your web app. Easily request changes to input fields or add call-to-action buttons, instantly see the updated preview, and then share your creations with others.
Canvas simplifies the entire coding process, allowing you to focus on creating, editing and sharing your code and design in one place, without the hassle of switching between multiple applications.
Canvas is rolling out globally today for Gemini and Gemini Advanced subscribers in all languages Gemini Apps is available. Try these features by selecting Canvas in the prompt bar and start creating. Learn more on our website.
