Section 1
The big idea
Artifacts are interactive things Claude generates: React components, HTML games, SVG diagrams, code with a 'Preview' tab. They show up in a panel next to the chat and update as you ask for changes. It's the fastest way to prototype a UI.
Some examples
- You ask 'build me a Pomodoro timer' — Claude renders a working timer you can click.
- You ask for a flashcard app for AP Chem terms — Claude builds it as an artifact.
- You ask for an SVG diagram of the water cycle — it appears in the side panel.
- You iterate: 'make the timer 25 minutes' → it edits in place.
Try it!
Open Claude. Ask for a small web app you've always wanted (a study timer, a name picker, a dice roller). Iterate twice. Save it.
