John Rodrigues reviews Anthropic's new Claude Design feature, which uses the Opus 4.7 vision model to create wireframes, prototypes, and multimedia content. The tool integrates with Claude Code for development but lacks multiplayer collaboration, has high token costs, and no public API yet.

So I explored the Claude design last night and I prototyped this video editor with Claude design. So if you have not heard about it, Anthropic shipped this new feature. It's called Claude design and it's powered by Opus 4.7. Opus 4.7 is one of their most capable vision models. So this, I know many designers and people are like freaking out about it, but it's definitely a great tool for designers and creative folks to kind of use the power of Claude and Claude code to streamline their workflow. Designers or product managers or AI product builders can create wireframes, sketch up their ideas and prototype their ideas quickly. And once they are done, they can even like send it to the Cloud Code and start building out. So it kind of gives you a streamlined approach. It's not just like building apps and websites. You can also do presentation videos and slides and everything. So it's not just a product builder tool, but they're kind of going to the multimedia design tool. Definitely a tough competition to most of the AI tools companies out there. And I'm eager to see how this tools landscape is going to evolve. But as a professional product designer, I do see limitations like the multiplayer collaboration and the increased, you know, usage of tokens. And that's going to happen. And also there's like a public API is not there. And then the design system, they have done like that integration for sure, which is great. And you can see where this is heading, but we are not there yet professionally, but it's good enough for like most of the people who are building apps with AI. So I'm going to experiment and build an app and create things with Claude Code and Claude. I'll share it here in— so to make sure you follow, and I'll write in-depth articles in my Substack, so you can go check that out in my bio as well.
