# How Canvas Works

> Entity extraction, live web research, schema construction, and inline rendering in four steps.

Every canvas goes through the same pipeline before it renders. The result is a visual built on real data — not placeholder content.

## Generation pipeline

```text theme={null}
User request: "Compare HubSpot vs Salesforce on pricing and key features."
    ↓
Step 1: Entity extraction
    Identifies: ["HubSpot", "Salesforce"]
    Canvas type: comparison_table
    ↓
Step 2: Pre-research (Brave Search × 3 in parallel)
    web_search("HubSpot pricing 2026")
    web_search("Salesforce pricing enterprise 2026")  ← parallel
    web_search("HubSpot vs Salesforce features")      ← parallel
    Scrapes live pricing pages where accessible
    ↓
Step 3: Schema construction
    Research data mapped to comparison_table JSON schema
    Kimi K2 fills sections: features, pricing tiers, verdict
    Only verified data from step 2 used as facts
    ↓
Step 4: React render
    comparison_table component renders inline in chat
    All styling applied, no external iframe
    Export button available immediately
```

## Real data

Ultron runs 3 web searches before generating any canvas that involves external data. Pricing figures, feature lists, company stats — all sourced from live pages, not from training data.

If a source is unavailable or pricing is gated, the canvas notes it: *"Enterprise pricing not publicly listed — verify at salesforce.com/pricing."*

## Inline rendering

Canvases render as React components inside the chat thread. They're not images. They're live components with full visual fidelity — readable, scrollable (for long canvases), and exportable on demand.

<Tip>
  For best results with comparison canvases, name specific products: "Compare HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive" produces better output than "Compare CRM tools."
