What is an AI Interactive Workspace?
An interactive workspace (called "Artifacts" or "Canvas" depending on the tool) is a side panel next to your chat where the AI can create and display documents, code, charts, and other content that you can directly edit, iterate on, and export. Instead of getting a long response buried in the chat thread, you get a live, editable document that you and the AI can refine together in real time.
Common use cases- Writing and editing long documents, articles, or emails collaboratively with the AI
- Generating and iterating on code with a live preview
- Creating presentations, diagrams, or data visualizations that you can export and share
