About Gemini Canvas Interactive Apps & Games

Gemini Canvas is an interactive workspace within Gemini that allows users to create apps, games, interactive quizzes, web pages, infographics, and more using natural language prompts. Powered by Gemini 3, it can turn Deep Research reports into various formats, generate code from descriptions, and assist with writing drafts by refining tone, expanding sections, and providing feedback. Canvas also supports visualizing algorithms through animations, creating custom study quizzes from uploaded materials, and building operational dashboards or interactive price sliders. It is designed for students, professionals, and anyone looking to quickly prototype ideas without coding expertise.
