Canvas Chat
Canvas chat puts an AI agent beside your canvas. Ask it what’s in an image, how to improve a layout, or to make new images from the ones on your board. Open it with the Gavana logo in the lower-right corner of any canvas.
The agent can read the canvas and look at its images whenever you ask. Anything that changes the canvas, or generates images, waits for you to approve it in the chat.
Before you start
- Canvas chat runs on your own computer, through Codex. You connect a computer once, and then use it on any canvas. See Connect a computer to set one up.
- You need owner or editor access to a canvas to chat on it.
- Messages use your Codex account’s allowance, and images you approve may incur a charge.

Connecting a computer
If no computer is connected, the chat says Chat runs on your own computer. with a Connect computer button. That button, and the settings button at the top of the chat (AI connections), open Your computers, where you add a computer. Once it’s ready, Use in chat takes you back to the chat with that computer’s model selected. Your Codex sign-in stays on your computer; image generation is provided separately by Gavana.
The full setup is in Connect a computer.
