Anthropic launches Claude Design, a new product for creating quick visuals

Anthropic Office has partnered on Friday it launched Claude Design, a new experimental product that allows users to create visuals such as prototypes, slides, a pager, and more using Claude. The company says Claude Design is meant to help people like founders and product managers without a design background easily share their ideas.

With Claude Design, users describe what they want, and Claude creates an initial version. From there, users can refine the visuals with direct edits or requests.

For example, you could ask Claude to “prototype a peaceful mobile meditation app. It should have calming typography, subtle colors inspired by nature, and a clean layout.”

You can tweak the colors, the typography size, or ask Claude to add a dark mode toggle.

While Claude Design may at first seem like it’s looking to compete with the popular design app Canva, which recently expanded its own AI capabilities, Anthropic told TechCrunch that it’s intended to supplement it rather than replace it. The company says its new product is made for people who don’t start with a design tool and need to be able to quickly get from an idea to something visual.

Once teams create presentation decks or prototypes, they can export them as PDFs, URLs, PPTX files, or send them to Canva. Once in Canva, they are fully editable and collaborative, Anthropic said.

Claude Design can also apply a team design system to each project it creates so that the results are consistent with the company’s overall visual style. Anthropic says Claude Design can do this by reading a company’s codebase and design files. Additionally, teams can refine these components and maintain more than one system design.

The new product is powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and is available in research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.

The launch underscores Anthropic’s continued push into the enterprise and prosumer categories, as competition intensifies around AI workplace tools. In January, Anthropic launched Claude Coworkera helper agent built for complex tasks. A few weeks ago, the company brought Cowork plug-in agents which is designed to automate specialized tasks within various departments of the company.

Today’s announcement comes a few days after that Bloomberg reports that VCs are offering the company a preemptive funding round that could it is worth $800 billion or morewhich almost equals or surpasses its rival OpenAI. But so far, Anthropic has not been interested in the latest offers, according to the report.
