Anthropic announced on Friday the launch of Claude Design, a new experimental product that allows users to create visuals such as prototypes, slides, and one-pagers. The tool is designed to help founders and product managers without a design background easily bring their ideas to life.
With Claude Design, users simply describe what they want, and the system generates an initial version. From there, users can refine the visuals by making edits or submitting additional requests. For instance, a user can ask for a calming meditation app interface with specific design elements.
While it may seem like a competitor to Canva, Anthropic says the goal is to complement, not replace it. Users can export their creations as PDFs, URLs, or PPTX files, or transfer them to Canva for further editing and collaboration.
Claude Design can also apply a company’s design system across projects, ensuring consistency. It achieves this by analyzing a company’s codebase and design files, allowing teams to maintain multiple design systems.
The product is powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and is currently available in research preview for select subscribers.
The launch reflects Anthropic’s continued push into enterprise markets. Earlier, the company introduced Claude Cowork, an AI assistant for complex workplace tasks.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that investors have offered Anthropic funding at a valuation of up to $800 billion, potentially rivaling OpenAI, though the company is not currently interested in these offers.
