Anthropic's Boris Cherny launches Claude Code Artifacts for Pro and Max users to generate dynamic web pages

One of my favorite things we've shipped recently — used it today to visualize a tricky set of experiment gates & logic, and communicate that to the team.

@DiogoSnows I ask Claude to use artifacts to:

- Explain architecture/design options - Give me an easier way to see the results of a session (with tables, colors, diagrams, etc.) - Draw charts for data analyses - Give me overviews of complex PRs

Is this a “super app”? Serious question.

Since claude code is CLI it doesn’t bundle a browser inside it like codex or cursor, but it’s the same idea sorta.

Here's an example of data visualization using artifacts. I can get 80% of my dashboarding needs met by this today. If you're on a Teams on Enterprise plan you can even share this with your team

@bcherny not saying this is comparable, but it works eeeerywhere

@bcherny It's even cooler when there's an agent monitoring your interactions with the HTML https://aac.social/posts/enhancing-the-effectiveness-of-html/

@bcherny How do you use them? Especially for non-obvious uses

The idea of Artifacts is already useful, but it could evolve into an integrated structure for managing them.

Being able to classify artifacts as reference, exploration, candidate, and official, linked to an objective-driven cycle, has completely changed the way I work with agents.

I think of this as situational awareness around what is being built.

Something like this:

@thelifeofrishi yes these are private

claude will sometimes create this proactively if it thinks it'll be helpful. you can switch this off in /config

@sidbid it built artifacts even when i didn't ask it 😅

for a moment i though it was a harness then i check the url, btw these are private artifacts, right?

Claude Code artifacts are now available for pro and max subscribers! Ask Claude to create an artifact to walk you through a PR or architecture for your project, create data dashboards, mock up UIs and anything else that requires rich html.

Just ask Claude to "create an artifact"

Works especially well with Fable because I can let it run for hours at a time and just ask for an artifact to catch me up and eli5

Try it out and let us know what you think! Lots more coming soon :)

PR reviews, code walk throughs and architecture diagrams with Artifacts are now a part of my daily workflow. Especially as the models start doing more autonomously, a high fidelity render of it's approach really helps get up to speed quickly

@bcherny I honestly don’t understand the use case for this, other than prototyping, not squinting your eyes, and sharing what’s the real use case?

@bcherny I was waiting for this. Looking forward to use it!

@jordanapitts @bcherny Yes, the cli one works /usage

@bcherny Found them great for UI prototyping. What else do you use them for?

@bcherny So excited to dive into these more!

@bcherny Do you have plans to expand Claude Tag to Pro and Max users?

@bcherny Thats coool but my tracker thing is broken. Thought id let you know os.

@bcherny Very cool!! Can think of loads of ways to use these 💪🏼
