Anthropic announced on Friday the launch of Claude Design, a new experimental product for creating visual work such as prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and designs. The product, powered by Claude Opus 4.7, is available for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.
With Claude Design, users describe what they want, and the chatbot creates an initial version of the visuals that can be refined with direct edits, such as tweaking colors, adjusting typography, or making other adjustments.
In addition, anyone can build code-powered prototypes with voice, video, shaders, 3D, and built-in AI.
Anthropic said that its product is not competing with the design app Canvas, as it is intended for founders, product managers, and marketers with an idea but no design background.
Your brand, built in. During onboarding, Claude Design reads users’ codebase and design files, and can import images and documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX), or point Claude at a codebase. There is a web capture tool that lets grabbing elements directly from the website.
The design can be exported as a Canva file, PDF, PPTX, or a standalone HTML file.
Yesterday’s announcement comes a few days after VCs offered Anthropic a funding round that would value it at $800 billion or more.
