Like Claude Code and Cowork, Claude Design aims to replace traditional tools for conversational AI. This time, the focus is on Figma, Canva, and other visual design solutions.
“Claude Design is a new Anthropic Labs product that lets you collaborate with Claude to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more,” the Anthropic announcement explains. “Claude Design is powered by our most capable vision model, Claude Opus 4.7, and is available in research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.”
Claude Design is straightforward, but it’s also an excellent example of how one could use AI to replace traditional tools that require expertise and come at great expense and open up those capabilities to the masses. As Anthropic notes, “for [many people] with an idea but not a design background, creating and sharing ideas can be daunting.”
As with other AI-based workflows, Claude Design lets you describe what you need using natural language and then refine the resulting design through conversation, inline comments, direct edits, or custom Claude-made sliders until it’s exactly what you want. It supports uploaded images, documents, and codebases, and supports organizations and teams with their colors, typography, and components automatically. Claude Design can also export to a folder, Canva, PDF, PPTX, or HTML, and it can handoff to Claude Code.
Anthropic says that teams that accessed this capability early on have used it for creating realistic prototypes, product wireframes and mockups, design explorations, pitch decks and presentations, market materials, and more.
Claude Design is rolling out now and Anthropic says it will soon add integrations capabilities so you can connect it to more external tools.
