Artifacts is a collaborative workspace feature that appears alongside the conversation with Claude.
When users ask Claude to generate content like code snippets, text documents, or website designs, these Artifacts are displayed in a dedicated window next to the chat. This allows users to see, edit, and build upon Claude's creations in real-time, seamlessly integrating AI-generated content into their projects and workflows.
Dynamic workspace: Users can view and interact with the outcomes of their Claude requests directly within the app.
Real-time editing: For example, if Claude composes an email, users can edit it within the Claude app instead of copying it to a separate text editor.
Collaborative environment: Artifacts marks Claude's evolution from a conversational AI to a collaborative work environment.
Future expansion: Anthropic plans to develop this feature to support team collaboration, allowing teams and organizations to centralize their knowledge, documents, and ongoing work in one shared space.
Versatility: Artifacts can be used for various purposes, such as collaboratively creating, iterating, and refining user interface and user experience prototypes.
Anthropic views Artifacts as a step towards transforming Claude into a tool for companies to securely centralize their knowledge and work, positioning it more as a collaborative platform like Notion or Slack rather than just a chatbot.
