But then you typically have to copy and paste the results into a separate program or file to see how they look, return to your conversation to tweak your request, and then keep going back and forth. How clumsy is that?Also: How to use Claude (and how it’s different from ChatGPT)Now, Claude AI’s new capability aims to streamline that process. With its newly built-in Artifacts feature, Claude AI can create and display the fully formatted results of your request in real time and side-by-side with your conversation.Launched as a web-based preview in June, the Artifacts feature is now fully baked and available to all Claude users across the Free, Pro, and Team plans. You can also tap into Artifacts not only on the Claude website but in the iOS and Android apps.”Artifacts turn conversations with Claude into a more creative and collaborative experience,” Claude AI developer Anthropic announced on Tuesday. “With Artifacts, you have a dedicated window to instantly see, iterate, and build on the work you create with Claude. Since launching as a feature preview in June, users have created tens of millions of Artifacts.”Also: How does Claude work? Anthropic reveals its secretsYou can use Artifacts to create and visualize code snippets, flowcharts, graphics, websites, and interactive dashboards. A few examples cited by Anthropic include:Developers can create diagrams from codebasesProduct managers can generate interactive prototypes to test new featuresDesigners can conjure up visualizations for prototypingMarketers can design campaign dashboards.Salespeople can generate sales pipelines complete with forecasting.Probably the best way to appreciate the power of Artifacts is to use the example of webpage creation. Let’s say you want to generate a webpage based on a certain theme and description. Head to the Claude AI website or fire up the iOS or Android app. At the prompt, type your request, such as “Create a webpage about London with space for photos and maps and a numbered list of the top ten places to visit.” More

Because there was such a lack of […] More
