Anthropic announced on Friday the launch of Claude Design, a new experimental product for creating visual work, including prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and designs. The product, powered by Claude Opus 4.7, is available for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.

With Claude Design, users describe what they want, and the chatbot creates an initial version of the visuals that can be refined with direct edits, such as tweaking colors, adjusting typography, or making other adjustments.

In addition, anyone can build code-powered prototypes with voice, video, shaders, 3D, and built-in AI.

Anthropic said that its product is not competing with the design app Canvas, since it is intended for founders, product managers, and marketers with an idea but no design background.

During onboarding, Claude Design reads users’ codebase and design files, and can import images and documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX), or point Claude at a codebase. There is a web capture tool that lets grabbing elements directly from the website.

The design can be exported as a Canva file, PDF, PPTX, or a standalone HTML file.

Yesterday’s announcement comes a few days after VCs offered Anthropic a funding round that would value it at $800 billion or more.

OpenClaw technology for creating autonomous AI agents is enjoying unprecedented popularity in China, with government subsidies fueling the trend, local companies using it to boost efficiency, and users integrating it into daily life.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and Europe are primarily concerned about the security risk, while the conversation is dominated by regulatory hurdles and ethical concerns.

Analysts say China currently has more OpenClaw users than any other country. Large-scale events across the country are drawing thousands of attendees.

Surveys indicate that the majority of Chinese workers believe that the benefits of using AI outweigh the risks.

By contrast, only one-third of Americans feel that the advantages of the technology outweigh the dangers, especially given existing cybersecurity threats, as many unprotected OpenClaw interfaces are on the internet.

“If you see it as a competition, it certainly looks like China is gaining a lot of momentum in the AI sector,” Peter Steinberger, the Austrian programmer who created OpenClaw, said.

“But right now there’s still quite a bit of a leap between the best models from China and the best models in the US.”
