Advantages of Using Canvas
Using 'Canvas' instead of a standard chat allows the AI to present complex ideas (such as app structures or code) in a more organized panel, making it easier for you to review and edit content without being distracted by the chat history.
AI Creativity Tip
Gemini 3.1 Pro features enhanced reasoning capabilities. If the generated design is too generic, ask the AI to 'Iterate' or add specific details such as 'Use a neon color scheme' or 'Focus on data privacy'.
