Canvas

Canvas is the built-in editor in Le Chat for creating and refining text, data, code, and presentations collaboratively with AI.

You can go from a raw CSV to a polished slide deck without leaving the conversation.

1. Click the + icon or type / in the chat window.
2. Select Tools then enable Canvas.

Once activated, Canvas opens automatically when Le Chat determines it would be useful. You can also trigger it manually by typing /canvas in the message box or asking Le Chat to "open in Canvas" in your query.

Typical prompts that open Canvas:

• "Create a presentation outline for our Q3 results."
• "Analyze the attached CSV and show it as a table."
• "Write a Python script to parse JSON logs."

Canvas combines editing, AI assistance, and export in one place.

Canvas shines when you chain tasks together. Here's a typical sequence for turning raw data into a shareable presentation.

Upload and explore your data

Import a CSV or spreadsheet using the + button and select Upload Files, then ask:

Analyze the attached CSV and open it in Canvas.

Canvas displays your data as an editable table. Click into cells to fix headers, rename columns, or remove empty rows.

Generate a written summary

Once your data looks right, ask Canvas to produce a text summary:

Transform this table into a concise executive summary.

Transform this table into a concise executive summary.

Canvas drafts a write-up based on your data. You can edit the result directly or use inline prompts to refine specific sections.

Create a slide deck

Turn your analysis into presentation-ready slides:

Create slide-ready bullet points with the key insights and recommendations.

Canvas generates slides using Marp syntax, a text-based format for presentations. Click the eye icon to preview the rendered deck.

When the slides look good, use the export button to save the deck as a PowerPoint file for final adjustments in your preferred tool.
