Rapid Development Cycle
Use the 'Describe, Build, Test, Refine' technique within the same conversation session. This allows you to see UI changes in real-time without having to switch to another application.
Persistent Storage in Artifacts
The data you enter into the tools you build (such as tasks in a planner) is saved between sessions (persistent storage), allowing you to resume your work at any time.
Versatile UI Use Cases
Beyond planners, Claude Artifacts is highly effective for building project trackers, client intake forms, and data visualizations that would typically take hours to create in a spreadsheet.

Step by Step
Steps to Build an Interactive UI Using Claude Artifacts
- Log in to your Claude.ai account via your browser.
- Ensure the 'Artifacts' feature is enabled on your account to allow the interactive panel to display.
- Type a specific prompt in the chat box to describe the tool you want to build (e.g., 'Build me a weekly planner').
- Wait for Claude to generate the interactive output in the 'Artifact' panel located on the right side of the chat.
- Test the completed tool directly within the panel (such as trying out drag-and-drop functionality or entering data).
- Use the 'Describe, Build, Test, Refine' method by providing additional instructions in the chat if any changes or improvements are needed.
- Watch as Claude updates the Artifact live based on your latest feedback.
