Though Google initially launched Canvas inside its Gemini app as a way to create documents and code in real-time, it later tested the feature in AI Mode — but only for visualizing travel plans. Now, you can use Canvas in AI Mode for tasks related to creative writing and coding, too, giving you the ability to view an AI-generated dashboard laying out information related to your prompt, or an interactive prototype of a tool you’re developing.
You can try out the feature by navigating to AI Mode in Search, selecting the “plus” button inside the chat window, and then choosing Canvas. From there, you can describe what you want to create, and Google will display the results in a panel on the right side of your screen. This feature is currently only available in English.
