Claude Animation Advantages vs GPT-4o
Through the Artifacts feature, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is capable of producing data visualizations as interactive animations. This is a functionality that 'Code Interpreter' or the 'Data Analysis tool' in GPT-4o cannot perform at this time.
The Power of Simple Iteration Prompts
The prompt 'Make it better' is highly effective in Claude because the AI independently assesses current UI/UX weaknesses and adds essential elements like summary stats or a more professional layout without requiring lengthy technical instructions.
Using Mock Data
If you don't provide specific data, Claude will automatically generate 'mock data' so that the dashboard functions immediately as a prototype before you connect it to a real API.
