Feature Request: Artifacts / Live Preview Panel for Code & Document Generation
I’d like to request an artifacts / live preview panel for Qwen (similar to Claude Artifacts, ChatGPT Canvas, Gemini Canvas / AI Studio Build mode, Kimi, and Meta AI).
Current limitation
When Qwen generates long documents, multi-file code, HTML pages, or structured content, everything stays inline in the chat. This quickly becomes:
- Hard to read and navigate
- Cluttered in long conversations
- Inconvenient for copying, downloading, or iterating on the output
Proposed solution
Add a dedicated side panel (or floating window) that:
- Automatically opens when substantial code, HTML, Markdown, or document content is generated
- Shows a clean, syntax-highlighted, or rendered preview
- Supports live updates as the model continues editing
- Offers one-click Copy, Download (as .html / .md / .py / ZIP, etc.), and optionally Edit
- Keeps the main chat focused on conversation rather than raw output
Important behavior for iterations
When the user asks for changes, the AI should edit the existing artifact in place (targeted modifications) instead of rewriting or reconstructing the entire file from scratch. Full rewrites can easily introduce bugs or break working code. Full regeneration should only happen when the user explicitly requests it.
Key benefits
- Much better experience for coding, frontend work, and long-document tasks
- Safer and more reliable iteration without breaking existing code
- Easier sharing and collaboration
- Brings Qwen in line with the current industry standard
- Lets users fully leverage the strong generation capabilities of Qwen 3.8 Max (and future models)
Example use cases
- Generating and refining complete HTML/CSS/JS pages with live preview
- Writing and iterating on Python scripts or multi-file projects
- Creating long Markdown documents, reports, or structured tables
- Building and previewing interactive content without leaving the chat
Adding this feature would meaningfully improve the daily workflow for developers and writers using Qwen and make the platform more competitive with the leading AI coding interfaces.
Thank you for considering it.
