Overview
Claude Design is an AI collaborative design product released by Anthropic Labs on 2026/4/17, powered by Claude Opus 4.7. It is not an image generation tool (that's Midjourney's domain), but a 'conversational design studio' that generates structured design outputs through natural language collaboration: prototypes, slides, one-pagers, wireframes, brand-consistent multi-page designs, etc. Currently available as a research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers, and is gradually rolling out to users.
Key Features
- Conversation-Driven Design: Describe requirements in natural language, and AI directly produces editable design drafts (prototypes, slides, one-pagers, wireframes)
- Powered by Opus 4.7: Underlying use of Anthropic's strongest vision model Claude Opus 4.7, with top-tier comprehension capabilities
- Iterative Refinement: Repeatedly adjust through conversation, inline comments, direct editing, or custom sliders (generated by Claude) until satisfied
