Try Canvas, a new way to collaborate with the Gemini app
What’s changing
Starting today, you can create, format, and refine your documents or code in Canvas, a new collaborative space in Gemini.
Generate and iterate on first drafts: after generating a first draft in Canvas, you can rapidly refine and ask Gemini for feedback to suggest edits. Update specific sections or the whole draft, and use the quick editor tools to change the tone, length, or formatting. From essays to blog posts to reports, up-level your documents in Canvas. If you want to collaborate with others on the content you just made, you can export it to Google Docs with a click.
Generate & iterate on code: Easily convert your ideas into working prototypes for web apps, code snippets and scripts, and more. Ask Gemini to generate & preview React or HTML code directly in Canvas in a familiar code editor, and review Gemini's changes on each turn.
Canvas is available globally across all Gemini-supported languages.
