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

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

While Claude Design may initially seem like it’s looking to compete with popular design app Canva, which has just expanded its own AI capabilities, Anthropic told TechCrunch that it’s intended to complement it rather than replace it. The company said its new product is built for people who aren’t starting from a design tool and need to get from an idea to something visual quickly.

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 says.
