These are called Grimoire and Python, which is specifically made for Python users. Feel free to check out the “Programming” category in the GPT store to find more high quality coding related GPTs.
Canva
The Canva GPT was one of the first GPTs created since OpenAI launched its GPT Store. If you work in a profession that demands you to make any type of media, from posters and charts to logos and branded content, this Canva integration is a must. You can use the GPT by simply describing what you need and the Canva GPT will create a suitable first design based on the prompt you specified. The designs are actually quite excellent and will save you a lot of time over developing it from scratch. See the example below, where I requested a poster with an invitation to a Hackathon. To customize the design created by the Canva GPT, just click on it, and you’ll be taken directly to the design inside Canva.
