Video/audio scripts (TikTok, Reels, YouTube, podcasts)
Social media posts (Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook)

Creative writing and stories
Ad copy and sales copy
Canvas does NOT appear for:
Short content under 150 characters (shown as lists instead)
Research, analysis, or explanations
Lists of recommendations
Long-form articles (need markdown formatting)
