The big picture

Claude's creative canvas

Artifacts turn Claude's output into something you can see, use, and edit live. Projects keep your work organized with shared knowledge and instructions. Together they're how you build and create with Claude.

Live preview

Substantial output opens in a side panel you can see rendered — not buried in chat scroll.

Interactive apps

Ask for a calculator, dashboard, or tool and get a working React app you can click and use.

Diagrams & visuals

Generate flowcharts, charts, and SVG graphics, then refine them by talking.

Documents

Formatted docs, slide outlines, and downloadable files — drafted and edited in place.

Publish & share

Turn an artifact into a link anyone can open. No Claude account required to view.

Projects

Bundle chats, files, and custom instructions into a reusable workspace per topic.

Your roadmap

From first artifact to interactive apps

Learn to create, then organize, then build genuinely useful interactive things.

Make something you can see

  1. 1

    Ask for something substantial

    In a normal chat, ask for content with structure — “make a one-page resume,” “build a simple budget calculator,” or “create a flowchart of this process.” Claude opens it as an Artifact on the right.
  2. 2

    Watch it render

    Code runs, documents format, and diagrams draw in the preview panel. You see the finished thing, not just the source.
  3. 3

    Iterate by talking

    Say “make the header blue,” “add a column for dates,” or “shorten the summary.” The artifact updates in place — no copy-paste.
  4. 4

    Switch between preview and code

    Use the tabs at the top of the panel to flip between the rendered Preview and the underlying Code or markup.
  5. 5

    Copy or download

    Use the panel controls to copy the content or download it as a file when you're happy.

If you don't see an artifact

Just ask: “put that in an artifact.” Short answers stay in the chat; anything you'll want to reuse or edit belongs in an artifact.

One Project per job

Separate knowledge and instructions keep results on-target.

Custom styles

Teach Claude your voice from a writing sample.

Iterate in place

Refine artifacts by conversation, never copy-paste.

Describe interactions

Say what should happen on click, not just how it looks.

Ask for variations

Compare layouts and styles side by side.
