OpenAI Canvas First Impressions: Will It Replace Your Coding Assistant?

Good stuff. Let’s see how they iterate from now on and what Anthropic will respond with.

Its alright, but they should give the option to use o1 as it fixes code that the Canvas model can't.

Thanks very much for this insightful tutorial. Brief and simple and on point.

Going forward, will focus more on your content before considering others. I really like the way you take your time to explain things.

Pls keep up the good work. Thanks again.

thanks!

Greetings. Did you write the prompt describing the task? It looks like it was generated by ChatGPT. If so, what did you tell ChatGPT to get that response? Thanks.

ChatGPT is the web and app product. It will "never" replace anything as a coding assistant. They need ro be api driven and integrated into my IDE

This might be exactly what you need:
1. Explore OpenAI's Canvas feature for enhanced coding collaboration.
2. Provide ChatGPT with detailed instructions for desired code outcomes.
3. Edit code directly within Canvas and request assistance from ChatGPT.
4. Test and review generated code thoroughly for functionality and security.
5. Stay informed about future Canvas updates and advancements in AI coding tools.

You can create multiple canvas in one chat.

Is it based on a fork of VSCode? 😃😃

Please stop reading us what we can read for ourselves.

Is there any software that has the AI assistance built into the environment where you can run the code? Copying and pasting to and from vscode is tedious.

Haven't seen here anything, that VSCodium + Twinny + some good coding model (like qwen-2.5-coder) cannot do

No it will not.

Thanks for your smooth content, and a question in my mind. How long will it take for OpenAI to add execution capabilities in the cloud, allow full folder downloads, or push to hosting providers, or even a VSCode extension? These additions seem inevitable for OpenAI as they focus on developers.

The "Fast Follower" term refers to companies that quickly adopt proven ideas with minor innovations. In my humble opinion the Cursor seems to fit this pattern: they forked VSCode, added features, and used OpenAI models, branding it as a business. But OpenAI's improvements can easily outpace them.

Fast followers may gain traction but often get eclipsed by major players unless they develop something genuinely unique. I'm excited to see how OpenAI rolls out these features.

this is terrible does not work as advertised
