Anthropic is introducing a beta feature within its Claude AI chatbot, enabling users to develop AI-powered applications directly inside the platform. This new capability expands upon the existing Artifacts feature, which was launched last year.
The company stated in a blog post that users can initiate app development within the Claude application by activating this newly available interactive functionality. The process involves describing the desired application, after which Claude generates the corresponding code. This mechanism allows for the immediate visualization and interaction with the results of the code generation process directly within the Claude environment. A demonstration video released by Anthropic illustrates this functionality, depicting the construction of a chat application.
Early access users have utilized this feature to develop a range of applications. These include AI-powered games and tools for learning. Data analysis applications have also been created, alongside writing assistants. Furthermore, users have developed agent workflows designed to orchestrate multiple Claude calls for the execution of complex tasks. The applications developed through this feature will be capable of interacting with Claude via an Application Programming Interface (API).

Anthropic is encouraging users to share the applications they create. To facilitate this sharing, the company has implemented a policy wherein the API usage of a user-created application by another individual will be charged against the subscriber’s account who is using the app, rather than against the account of the app’s creator. This feature is accessible across all of Anthropic’s service tiers, specifically the Free, Pro, and Max subscription levels.
