Claude Artifacts Let Anyone Build AI Apps Inside Claude

Anthropic has launched Claude Artifacts, a new feature that lets users build and share interactive AI apps directly within the Claude interface. Available in beta across all Claude plans—including Free—Artifacts allows users to turn AI prompts into usable mini-apps for writing, data analysis, productivity, and more. Users embed Claude intelligence via API, but interestingly, viewers are charged for app usage—not the creators. The update positions Claude not just as a chatbot, but as a no-code AI development environment. Builders can create tools like writing assistants, knowledge bots, and custom workflows with zero infrastructure setup. Artifacts work within Claude’s interface and are shareable via link, turning AI-powered outputs into persistent, collaborative tools. For Anthropic, this moves Claude closer to a full productivity suite and developer playground. It lowers the barrier to building AI-powered software, especially for creators and businesses who don’t want to manage backend infrastructure or billing models. It also aligns Claude with broader no-code and agent-based trends, letting users deploy modular AI tools without leaving the chat window.
