Canvas Apps: From Conversation to Application
Canvas apps transform AI conversations into interactive web applications. Instead of just getting text responses, agents can generate fully functional HTML/CSS/JS apps that you can use, save, and share.
What can you build?
- Utilities: Unit converters, calculators, timers, color pickers
- Games: Quiz apps, puzzle games, interactive stories
- Dashboards: Data visualizations, status boards, analytics views
- Tools: Markdown editors, code formatters, JSON validators
- Education: Flashcard apps, interactive tutorials, practice exercises
How it works
- You describe what you want in natural language.
- The agent generates a complete web application (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
- The app renders live in the canvas panel next to the chat.
- You interact with the app and request modifications through conversation.
- When satisfied, save it to your Apps gallery.
