"Canvas in AI Mode is designed to help users organize and plan projects or delve into deeper research. The feature now supports the ability to draft documents or create custom tools within Google Search. Users can describe an idea to Canvas and watch as it generates the code to transform that idea into a shareable app or game."
"Canvas is already available in Gemini, where Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers have access to the latest model, Gemini 3, and a larger 1 million-token context window for more complex projects. More people will be exposed to Canvas now that it's available to all users in the U.S. through Google's AI search feature."
"To use Canvas, users select the new Canvas option from the tool menu (+) while in AI Mode, then describe what they want to create. This opens up a Canvas side panel where users can pull together information from the web and Google's Knowledge Graph. If building a prototype or app, users can test the functionality and refine how the app works by chatting with Gemini."
Google has made Canvas in AI Mode available to all U.S. users in English, expanding beyond its initial Google Labs pilot. Canvas helps users organize projects, conduct research, draft documents, and create custom tools within Google Search. The feature supports multiple use cases including building study guides, converting research reports into web pages or quizzes, generating code for apps and games, and refining creative writing. Canvas was previously available only to Gemini subscribers with access to Gemini 3 and expanded context windows. By integrating Canvas into Google Search's AI Mode, Google leverages its massive search reach to expose billions of users to the tool, providing competitive advantage against similar offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
