Claude Design
Native Anthropic prompt-to-prototype interface. Official launch April 17 2026 (Anthropic Labs, beta exit) with Opus 4.7. Auto-builds a DS from codebase + design files. Describe a screen in natural language, Claude Design renders HTML/CSS/JS in real time and produces a handoff bundle handed verbatim to Claude Code.
Strengths
- Auto-extracts design system from your codebase, colors, typography, existing components
- Interactive HTML/CSS/JS mockups with live preview, not static images
- Handoff bundle exportable directly to Claude Code for immediate implementation
Limitations
- Pro+ required, inaccessible without a paid subscription ($20/mo minimum)
- Research preview, features subject to change, no stable public API
Best for
- Non-designers who need brand-consistent prototypes to validate an idea without opening Figma
- Designers who want to explore layouts in natural language before finalizing in Figma
