Anthropic releases Claude Design, using conversational generation for prototypes, slides, and landing pages

ME News Report, April 18 (UTC+8), according to Beating Monitoring, Anthropic launched Claude Design under Anthropic Labs on April 17, aimed at producing design drafts, interactive prototypes, slides, and marketing materials through conversations with Claude. The product is powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and is available in research preview to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers, with phased releases on the same day via claude.ai/design. Enterprise accounts are disabled by default and must be enabled by administrators in organization settings. Users describe their needs in natural language, and after Claude provides an initial version, they can refine details through dialogue, embedded comments, direct editing, and custom adjustment sliders generated instantly by Claude. During the initial setup, Claude reads the team’s code repositories and design files to establish a dedicated design system. Subsequently, each project automatically inherits the team’s color schemes, fonts, and components, with the ability to maintain multiple design systems and iterate at any time. Inputs support text prompts, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX documents, and images, and can also use web capture tools to directly extract UI elements from target websites, making prototypes look closer to real products. Outputs can be shared via internal links, or exported as PDF, PPTX, standalone HTML, and can be pushed directly to Canva with one click. Claude Design integrates directly with Claude Code. Once the design is finalized, it is packaged into a handoff bundle, and a single command to Claude Code moves it into the implementation phase. For designers, this solves the problem of long iteration cycles being squeezed by project timelines; for product managers, founders, and marketing roles, it provides a new pathway to produce usable visual materials directly, bypassing professional design barriers and connecting seamlessly with engineering delivery. Among early users officially listed, learning platform Brilliant states that complex interactive pages, which previously required over 20 prompt rounds in other tools, can now be completed in just 2 rounds with Claude Design; Datadog says they can go from rough ideas to a working prototype in a single meeting; Canva is listed as one of the main export targets.
