On Friday, Anthropic introduced Claude Design, an experimental tool that enables users to generate visual materials—such as prototypes, slides, and one-pagers—through Claude. The product is designed to assist individuals like founders and product managers who lack formal design training, helping them communicate ideas more effectively. Users begin by describing their vision, and Claude produces a first draft. They can then refine the output through direct edits or further instructions. For instance, one might request a "prototype for a serene mobile meditation app featuring calming typography, subtle nature-inspired colors, and a clean layout."

From there, adjustments can be made to colors, font sizes, or additional features like a dark mode toggle. Anthropic emphasizes that this tool is built for those not starting within a traditional design application, offering a fast path from concept to visual representation. Completed presentations or prototypes can be exported as PDFs, URLs, PPTX files, or sent directly to Canva, where they become fully editable and collaborative.

Claude Design also supports applying a team’s established design system to ensure consistency with a company’s visual identity. This is achieved by analyzing the organization’s codebase and design files. Teams can further refine these components and manage multiple design systems.

The new offering is powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and is available in a research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. This launch underscores Anthropic’s continued expansion into enterprise and prosumer markets amid growing competition in AI-powered workplace tools. Earlier this year, in January, the company released Claude Cowork, an agentic assistant tailored for complex tasks. Shortly after, agentic plug-ins were added to Cowork to automate specialized workflows across different departments.

This announcement follows a recent Bloomberg report indicating that venture capitalists have proposed a preemptive funding round valuing Anthropic at $800 billion or more—a figure that would approach or potentially exceed its rival OpenAI’s valuation. However, according to the report, Anthropic has shown no interest in these latest offers.
