Anthropic has introduced Claude Design, a new research preview tool that enables subscribers to generate designs, prototypes and slides using its Claude AI. Powered by the Opus 4.7 vision model, the tool emphasizes workplace visuals over arbitrary image generation. It is available now to Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise subscribers.
Anthropic announced Claude Design on April 17, a research preview that allows users to create slide decks, social media assets, app and web interfaces, and other visual prototypes. The company describes it as giving 'designers room to explore widely and everyone else a way to produce visual work.' Unlike typical image generators, it focuses on practical outputs, powered by Opus 4.7, which Anthropic calls its most capable vision model to date, released the previous day with improved image understanding capabilities. Claude Design begins with text prompts, which users can refine through conversation, inline comments, direct edits, and custom sliders for elements like glow or density in designs. It includes an onboarding process that analyzes an organization's codebase and design documents to adopt its colors, typography and style automatically. Users can upload images or documents, capture web elements, share projects, and export directly to Claude Code, with integrations planned soon. The launch comes amid similar releases from Adobe and Canva, though Claude Design supports exporting projects to Canva. Adobe has separately announced a creative AI agent for Claude. Anthropic positions the tool for business and coding workflows, available within existing subscription usage limits.
