Claude Design lets you create designs by having a conversation. You describe what you want, Claude builds a first version on a canvas next to the chat, and you refine it from there. What lands is a live, clickable design, not a flat picture, so you can test it, then export it or hand it to a developer to build.
You refine three ways: chat for big structural moves, inline comments for a single element, and direct edits for a quick nudge. Set up a design system once and every project uses your brand's colours, type, and components by default.
It is powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and runs at claude.ai/design and in the desktop app, on paid plans. When a design is ready to become real software, it hands off to Claude Code, which continues from the actual design rather than a screenshot.
