Overview

The canvas is your workspace in Hunch. It’s where you imagine, create, experiment, play and work. AI lives here, in the blocks you create and connect.

A canvas could be:

  • A single block, asking AI a question
  • A simple instruction for AI to write content or generate an image
  • A complex series of blocks, each building on the output of the previous one to create a sophisticated output in a repeatable way
  • A collection of documents, images, and other media remixed into new content with the help of AI
  • An AI-assisted brainstorming session, with separate and interconnected threads of thought

See Getting Started for a hands-on introduction to creating and connecting blocks on the canvas.

Key features of the canvas

Flexibility

The canvas is a flexible space that adapts to your needs. You can arrange blocks in any way that makes sense for your workflow, whether that’s a linear process or a more complex network of interconnected tasks.

Visualization

By laying out your AI workflow visually, the canvas helps you understand and refine your process. You can see at a glance how different elements of your project connect and interact.

Iteration

The canvas supports rapid iteration. You can quickly adjust instructions, add new blocks, or rearrange your workflow to experiment with different approaches.

Collaboration

Canvases can be shared, allowing team members to collaborate on AI-driven projects. This makes it easy to divide tasks, review each other’s work, and build on shared ideas.

Reusability

Once you’ve created a useful canvas, you can save it as a template for future use. This allows you to build a library of AI workflows that you can quickly apply to new projects.

The canvas in context

The canvas is more than just a workspace - it’s a core concept in Hunch that embodies our approach to AI collaboration. By providing a visual, intuitive space for working with AI, the canvas makes advanced AI capabilities accessible to everyone.

The canvas concept encourages you to think about AI tasks in a modular, step-by-step way. This approach often leads to better results, as it allows for more precise control over the AI’s output and makes it easier to identify and refine specific parts of the process.

In essence, the canvas is where the power of AI meets human creativity and insight. It’s a space where you can guide AI, combine its capabilities in novel ways, and ultimately produce outcomes that neither human nor AI could achieve alone.
