This Gemini feature is the best Google tool you’re probably not using

I didn’t expect Gemini Canvas to become one of the Google tools I rely on the most. At first glance, it seemed like just another AI workspace focused on generating text.

However, after spending some time using it, I realized that Canvas addresses one of the most frustrating aspects of working with AI tools: the constant back-and-forth between prompts and edits.

Instead of treating each response as a separate conversation, Canvas maintains everything in a single, evolving workspace. It allows you to refine ideas, reorganize sections, and continue building without starting from scratch.

After I became accustomed to working in Gemini Canvas, returning to a traditional chat interface felt surprisingly limiting.
