Google is officially turning Search into a fully interactive workspace! "Canvas in AI Mode" is now rolling out to all U.S. users. Canvas acts as a dedicated side-panel workspace where you can organize long-term plans and projects without leaving the search page. The feature has been upgraded to support creative writing and coding tasks. You can now use Search to draft full documents or build custom, interactive tools (like a real-time tracking dashboard for academic scholarships). Unlike standalone chatbots, Canvas prototypes actively pull the freshest information directly from the live web and Google’s Knowledge Graph to populate your tools and documents. Once Canvas generates a tool or document, you can test its functionality, toggle a view to see the underlying code, and use conversational follow-ups to refine it until it perfectly matches your needs.
