Background

Google has expanded access to the Canvas feature in its AI Mode search tool, making it available to all users in the United States who use English. The update allows people to organize projects, draft content and experiment with ideas directly within Google Search.

The company introduced Canvas last year through its Google Labs experiments. Now, with the wider rollout, Google wants to bring more advanced AI tools to everyday search users and encourage them to interact more with its artificial intelligence platform.

Canvas works as a workspace inside AI Mode. Users can open it by selecting the Canvas option from the tool menu and describing what they want to create. A side panel then appears, where users can gather information from the internet and Google’s Knowledge Graph while developing their project.

The tool can assist with many tasks. Students can upload their notes and create study guides. Professionals can turn research reports into web pages, quizzes or audio summaries. Canvas also helps writers edit drafts and gives feedback to improve their work.

Another key capability is coding support. Users can describe an idea and the system will generate code to build a simple application or game. They can test the prototype, view the code behind it and refine the project by chatting with Gemini.

Canvas is already available in the Gemini platform for subscribers of Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra. These users also gain access to the latest AI model, Gemini 3, which offers a larger context window to handle complex tasks.

Google integrates Canvas directly into Search to reach more people with its AI tools. The company’s search engine reaches billions of users around the world, which gives Google a strong advantage in expanding the use of AI.

The feature also places Google in closer competition with AI development platforms from OpenAI and Anthropic, which offer similar tools to help users create projects and generate content using artificial intelligence.
