Getting Started

Learn the basics of creating artifacts with Claude

1
What are Artifacts?

Artifacts are self-contained pieces of code created during Claude conversations that appear in a dedicated panel next to the chat. They can be viewed, edited, and interacted with in real-time, making them perfect for rapid prototyping and iterative development.

Pro Tips

  • Self-contained code that runs in a dedicated panel
  • Real-time interaction and immediate feedback
  • Easy sharing with just a few clicks
  • Built-in AI capabilities without extra setup costs
  • Perfect for prototyping across various domains
  • Conversational debugging and modification

Creation Process

Creating artifacts with Claude is conversational and iterative. Enable AI-powered features in settings, describe your idea, and let Claude help you build and refine your application through natural dialogue.

Example
// Step 1: Enable AI-powered artifacts in settings
// Go to Settings → "Create AI powered artifacts"

// Step 2: Describe your idea
"Create a language learning tutor for Spanish vocabulary"
"Build a one-page product requirements document generator"
"Make a dream interpretation app with personality"

// Step 3: Iterate through conversation
"Add a quiz feature to test knowledge"
"Make the interface more colorful and engaging"
"Include progress tracking for the user"

Pro Tips

  • Enable "Create AI powered artifacts" in Claude settings first
  • Let Claude interview you about your idea for better results
  • Use follow-up prompts to modify and refine
  • Debug through conversational interaction
  • Experiment by forking different versions

Prototyping Benefits

Claude artifacts excel at rapid prototyping with instant feedback, allowing you to test working code immediately and iterate through conversational modifications.

Example Ideas

Perfect for: Learning tools, Content generators, Decision support apps, Creative applications

Pro Tips

  • Get instant feedback by testing working code immediately
  • Rapid iteration through conversational modifications
  • Built-in AI capabilities without configuration
  • Perfect for demonstration and proof-of-concept
  • May require traditional development for complex production apps
