Canvas

Canvas is OpenClaw's visual workspace feature. An agent-driven UI that lets your AI create and manipulate visual interfaces across iOS, Android, and macOS.

  • ✓Interactive — Click, drag, and interact with AI-generated content
  • ✓Cross-platform — Works on iOS, Android, and macOS
  • ✓Real-time — See updates as the AI works
