What happened

Claude Design is currently in research preview and is available to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. The product is being rolled out gradually to users throughout the day.
The tool aims to address the challenges faced by designers, who often have to limit their exploration due to time constraints, and non-designers, who may find creating visual content daunting. Claude Design enables users to describe what they need, and Claude builds a first version, which can then be refined through conversation, inline comments, direct edits, or custom sliders.

Product managers can sketch out feature flows and hand them off for implementation, while founders and account executives can create pitch decks and presentations in minutes.
Marketers can create marketing collateral such as landing pages and social media assets, and anyone can build code-powered prototypes with advanced features like voice, video, shaders, and 3D. The tool also allows teams to maintain consistent design systems across projects.
The product integrates with other tools like Canva and Claude Code, making it easier to export designs and handoff to development. This integration can streamline the design and development process, reducing the time and effort required to bring ideas to life.
