Canvas interface
The Canvas interface is a visual workspace in AI tools (e.g., Google Gemini 3) enabling multi-step reasoning and simultaneous processing of text, images, video, and code. Key capabilities include:
- Executing 10-15 steps of coherent reasoning
- Processing video/images/code simultaneously
- Integrating directly with Google Workspace tools (e.g., creating slide decks via “Please create a slide deck about…” and exporting to Google Slides)
- Enabling “Thinking with 3 Pro” for complex tasks like automating wiki updates
