🔥 ChatGPT gets a collab boost with Canvas

The Rundown: OpenAI just launched Canvas, a new ChatGPT interface release that enables more collaborative writing and coding projects beyond simple chat interactions with new editing features, shortcuts, and added contextual knowledge.

The details:

• Canvas opens in a separate window alongside the chat, allowing users to directly edit and refine specific aspects of an output.

• New features include inline feedback, targeted editing, and shortcuts for tasks like adjusting text length, changing reading levels, or debugging code.

• In tests, using GPT-4o with Canvas led to a 30% accuracy and 16% quality boost compared to using the model without the interface.

• Canvas is rolling out in beta to Plus and Team users, with a broader release expected later.

Why it matters: ChatGPT’s first major UI change takes a leap towards more nuanced, moldable interactions — while also inheriting novice-friendly features seen in other rivals with easy-to-use shortcuts. The simple chatbox was a good first step for human-AI interactions, but more power and capabilities require new collaborative processes.

🔎 Google rolls out ads in AI Overviews

The Rundown: Google just announced the introduction of ads to its AI Overview search summaries and the launch of several new AI-powered search capabilities, such as video understanding and voice input.

The details:

• Ads will now appear within and alongside AI Overviews for ‘relevant queries’ on searches in the United States.

• The redesigned AI Overview format will now add prominent in-text links to better source websites for the curated information.

• New AI-organized search results pages are rolling out that surface relevant, more diverse content — starting with recipe and meal inspiration queries.

• Google Lens is getting video understanding capabilities and voice input options for visual searches.

• The Android ‘Circle to Search’ feature also lets users identify songs playing in videos or streaming content.

Why it matters: Google’s first AI Overview experience didn’t exactly go as planned. However, with heavy competition from Perplexity and chatbot rivals, Google’s search future clearly has AI at its core, regardless of the bumps along the way. But infusing paid ads into AI Overviews could be a slippery slope – will Gemini be next?
