Last August, Anthropic released Artifacts. The feature allows Claude users to create small, AI-programmed apps for their own use. Today, Anthropic is making it easier to share Artifacts. At the same time, it’s making the apps you can make with the feature more powerful.
To start, Artifacts now have their own dedicated space you can access from the Claude app sidebar. Here you’ll find a curated selection of projects made by other people to get you started on your own programs. Every Artifact you create will be organized in this space, making them easy to find later.
Once you have an idea of what you’d like to make, creating an Artifact simply involves typing a prompt. “Just tell Claude an idea to instantly create shareable interactive apps, tools, and games with Claude’s intelligence directly embedded, making them independently smart and responsive,” says Anthropic.
When using the feature, the company recommends thinking big. That’s because you can embed Claude’s AI abilities into your creations. For instance, if you’re a student studying for a language exam, instead of asking Claude to create a set of flashcards, prompt it to make a flashcard app. “One request gets you static study materials. The other creates a shareable tool that generates cards for any topic,” says Anthropic.
Notably, Anthropic is making the updated Artifacts experience available to all users, including those with free accounts. Additionally, everyone can share their projects with others for free, with no associated API cost for doing so. All you need to access someone else’s Artifact is a Claude account, free or otherwise.
The new Artifacts experience is available on both mobile and desktop. To access every feature, you’ll need to use your computer. On Android and iOS, you can create, view, interact with and customize Artifacts.
