How to Use Claude Artifacts: 7 Powerful Ways with Examples (2026)

Here is what you can do with Claude:

1. Create web pages from scratch. Describe the page or section, including the elements and structure you want to see. You can do this by sending a prompt to Claude AI or even uploading a text or PDF file with the necessary details. Claude AI will generate the code and immediately show a preview in Artifacts, allowing you to see how the page will look in a browser. Once you're satisfied with the result, just copy content and styles to your editor for publishing.

2. Create web pages based on images or screenshots. Sometimes, it's challenging to fully describe your expectations for a landing page, or you may simply be short on time. Here's where Artifacts come in handy. Send Claude AI an image (even a mockup from Figma) or a screenshot of the website you want to reference and ask Claude AI to create a landing page or form based on it. Claude can process and analyze images, so it recognizes icons, menu items, colors, styles, and headers, and automatically generates the code and visual representation of the page for you.

3. Create landing page prototypes. Maybe you're not ready to use AI-generated code just yet, or perhaps your company has strict rules about coding practices. No problem! Artifacts work perfectly as prototypes for presenting ideas to your team. Share the artifact with a link, and your colleagues will see a fully interactive page with all elements like tabs, dropdown menus, and forms. If sharing is a concern, ask Claude AI to save the result in SVG format, which you can then import into Figma for further refinement.

4. Experiment with styles and design. Copy content and code from existing pages, add your current styles, and ask Claude AI to suggest improvements for typography, color schemes, or layouts. Claude Artifacts will display the page with the proposed changes, letting you review and refine them before implementing.

Examples of Artifacts: creating a "Pricing Plans" webpage

Using a simple text document with basic subscription plan descriptions and desired screen structure, I prompted Claude AI: "Create a Pricing Plans web page (desktop version) based on the assignment and structure in this file." The result was a fully functional HTML artifact with interactive pricing tables.

Use cases for Claude + Albato

Claude is integrated with Albato, which means that users can automatically create a request for a model based on triggers fired in other apps. For specific scenarios, a custom API request is also an option.

If you have a spreadsheet with all your products or pricing plans, every time a new row is added to the table, it automatically sends a request to create landing pages with Claude via automation. This way, you save lots of time on manual work.

2. Building interactive prototypes using Claude Artifacts

Claude Artifacts turn a prompt or a screenshot into a clickable prototype, from a single form to a working web app you can test in the same window. If you're curious, check out our detailed review of Claude AI, where my colleague and I built a checkers game in just five minutes, and played it directly within the Claude Artifacts interface! In this case, Claude Artifact codes served as the foundation for creating interactive game logic and user controls.

Here is what you can do with Claude:

1. Building functional prototypes with prompts. Unlike static wireframes or mockups, prototypes built with Artifacts include real business logic, data validation, and interactive elements. This means you can create a functional application directly in Claude Artifacts, then test and evaluate your web product or app in the same environment. Artifacts provide a live preview of the user experience, allowing you to click buttons, navigate between screens, and interact with dropdown menus, all within Claude's interface. For example, you can easily incorporate reusable React components to speed up development and align your prototype with modern frameworks.

2. Creating interactive prototypes from images. Similar to creating landing pages, you can upload an image or screenshot that you'd like to use as a reference and ask Claude AI to create an application based on it. Claude can even transform hand-drawn sketches into interactive prototypes, making it an incredibly efficient tool for product managers and designers working on interface planning and prototyping. For instance, you could say: "Here's a mockup I need turned into an interactive interface. Create a prototype similar to this screenshot but adapted for mobile devices." With artifacts, you can quickly turn static designs into interactive, testable prototypes.

3. Conducting early user testing. Prototypes offer another significant advantage for product managers: early user testing. By sharing the artifact with "Anyone with the link," you can distribute your prototype to users for "hallway testing" and gather valuable feedback. This quick validation process can help you refine your product before moving into full development. Claude's ability to generate code directly within the Artifacts environment can further speed up the transition from prototype to production-ready code.

4. Building stateful applications with persistent storage. With the addition of persistent storage, your prototypes can now maintain state across sessions. Build a task tracker that remembers tasks, a CRM prototype that saves contacts, or a feedback tool that accumulates responses over time. Combined with artifacts that use Claude (no API key needed), you can create intelligent micro-applications that both remember data and respond to user input with AI reasoning.

5. Connecting to external services via MCP. On paid plans, artifacts can use the apps you've connected to Claude, including custom connectors on MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, so your prototype can read from and write to real services like Asana, Google Calendar, and Slack. Each viewer uses their own connections, which keeps your credentials out of the shared prototype.

Examples of Artifacts: Creating an interactive task tracker prototype

Some interfaces are easier to show than describe. I took a simple screenshot of a ClickUp board to show Claude AI the interface that meets my expectations and sent it to the chat with this prompt: "Create a Task Tracker application based on this image."

The result is impressive. Claude AI created an interactive Artifact with a Task Tracker interface similar to ClickUp. As you can see, it's fully functional, allowing you to create new tasks and edit existing ones. And this is only the result of the first prompt: more prompts can add new styles and features.

Use cases for Claude + Albato

You can create complex workflows with multiple apps using Albato.

Every time you create a new child page (it’s nested under another page), Claude creates a prototype of a website or application. You then receive an email notification.

3. Creating documents and presentations using Claude Artifacts

Artifacts in Claude AI have reshaped tasks that combine text content with graphical elements, thanks to their ability to visualize and create SVG graphics. One of the most practical applications of this feature is creating documents and presentations. For instance, an Artifact example might include an automatically generated diagram or infographic tailored to your content needs.

Here is how you can use Claude:

1. Building Presentations based on slide structures. Simply describe your slides and the overall structure of your presentation. For example, create this description in a Docx or PPT file by outlining slide titles and the data each slide should include. Upload it to the chat, and Claude AI will generate a polished presentation. Claude can create downloadable .pptx files with proper formatting, charts, and layouts. The Slides template goes further: you edit any slide directly, present without leaving Claude, and export to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides.

2. Designing business documents. Provide a document structure or upload text requirements, and you'll receive a professionally formatted output. Claude can generate actual .docx files with headers, tables of contents, styled sections, and more. This can be used to create templates for invoices, proposals, or training and marketing materials like checklists.

3. Creating spreadsheets and data reports. Claude can generate .xlsx files with working formulas, formatting, and charts built in, which covers financial models, project trackers, and data summaries. To align the visual style with your brand, upload corporate font names and primary brand colors in HEX or RGB formats. Claude can export graphics in SVG format, ensuring high quality for tools like Figma. You can also export results in PDF format for presentations or provide a screenshot as a style reference for Claude to replicate.

Examples of Claude AI Artifacts: Quarterly report presentation

For this Artifact example, I used my Google Slides presentation. There wasn't anything special in it: I added a headline to each slide and presented my data in plain language. I saved the presentation as a PDF and sent it with my prompt.

Claude generated presentation slides that I could save and refine further.

Use cases for Claude + Albato Albato provides integration between Claude and other apps, making sure that AI-generated documents and reports are easy to reach and review.

You can trigger Claude to draft the presentation slides, documentation, or research when you receive a new Slack message in a particular thread. The message received will contain the information and directions for creating the presentation. Once the task is complete, you receive a notification via Slack.

4. Creating text content and working with SEO using Claude Artifacts

Specialized tools for writing and SEO exist, but Artifacts in Claude AI are worth using next to them because of how editing works: you can change one sentence or paragraph without Claude rewriting the rest of your draft.

How to use Claude Artifacts for creating text content:

1. Writing blog posts. The main advantage of Artifacts for writing is targeted editing. When I asked for one paragraph to be rewritten in a plain chat, I often got back a new version of the whole text, and sections I was happy with changed along the way. In a doc or Markdown artifact, you highlight a sentence or paragraph, click "Edit with Claude," and describe the change. Claude rewrites only that part and leaves the other sections of your text as they were, and running the finished draft through an AI humanizer helps keep the wording from sounding machine-made.

2. Enhancing content with visuals. Once your text is ready and edited, it's time to add visuals, graphs, infographics, diagrams, or even just some CSS styles for paragraph formatting. With Claude, you can switch from editing your article to its layout. For example, highlight a section that needs an infographic, and then ask Claude to "assemble" everything into the article with styled visuals and images. While Claude doesn't generate photorealistic images, it excels at creating impactful visual elements like infographics, charts, and styled diagrams to improve your content.

3. Combining SEO optimization with creativity. Add keywords, meta tags, and define the structure of your headings in your initial request. While you focus on the creative aspects of writing, Claude will automatically take care of your SEO instructions in parallel. This means you can just copy the optimized code for your blog later on, no need for separate SEO work after you've finished your content.

Examples of Artifacts: Working on a blog article

In this Artifact example, I make several sequential prompts. First, I simply upload the text and ask Claude to do some editing. Then I ask Claude to work on specific paragraphs, and in Artifacts, Claude deletes and edits only the text I highlighted. Next, since there were statistical data in the text, I ask to generate infographics for my article. And with the final prompt, I ask to combine everything together, and Claude shows how my article will look with the images included.

Use cases for Claude + Albato

Albato allows you to send data between Claude and other applications. You can use it to generate and publish content on preferred platforms, such as WordPress or social media.

To set up this automation, create a spreadsheet with the columns in which you manually fill in the general elements of the text (slug, title, and excerpt, for example). WordPress needs this to pull the information correctly. Then, leave a column with the instructions for creating the article itself.

In the Claude AI step, you use the column with instructions for creating the article based on your prompt. Then, for publishing in WordPress, you pull the general elements from the Google Sheets and the text from the Claude AI step.

5. Data analytics and visualization with Claude Artifacts

Artifacts in Claude AI combine two powerful capabilities: the AI's ability to quickly analyze large datasets and identify patterns, and its ability to create interactive visualizations directly within the chat. This unique analysis tool lets you upload data, ask Claude to uncover insights or correlations, and instantly view the results as an interactive dashboard. There's no need to switch between tools or write complex code, just describe what insights you want from your data. On paid Claude plans, the newest models have a context window of up to 1M tokens in chat, so you can work with large datasets in a single conversation.

How to use Claude Artifacts for data analytics and visualization:

1. Creating interactive dashboards using Claude Artifacts. Upload a CSV file with your data and specify which metrics you want to track. Claude will generate an interactive dashboard with charts and graphs. With persistent storage on paid plans, your dashboards can save state between sessions, so filters, selections, and custom views persist when you return. The Dashboards template (beta, paid plans) can also build charts from connected apps like Salesforce, and each chart shows its query and when it was last refreshed. This feature is particularly useful for presenting data to teams or clients, providing a professional and dynamic way to explore insights.

2. Analyzing data from unconventional sources using Claude Artifacts. Send a screenshot of rankings, tables, or charts from any website or platform, and Claude will recognize the data and convert it into a structured format for analysis. This is especially handy when you need to extract data from platforms that don't offer APIs or export tools, like review platforms, marketplaces, price aggregators, or ranking sites. Artifacts allow you not only to extract this data but also to create interactive dashboards for visualization and comparative analysis.

Examples of Artifacts: Interactive screenshot-based analytics dashboards

I took a screenshot of a G2 category page to incorporate application data into my analytical review, as direct data copying wasn't possible.

Claude AI collected data from the screenshot, organized it according to my requirements, and visualized it in an interactive dashboard Claude Artifact.

Examples of Artifacts: Interactive CSV-based analytics dashboards

In a similar experiment with raw CSV data, Claude calculated the required metrics and presented them in an interactive dashboard artifact. This demonstrates Claude's ability to handle both structured and unstructured data sources, making it versatile for various analytical needs.

Use cases for Claude + Albato

With Albato, you can simplify data analysis, generate insights, and even visualize trends without manual effort.

Claude can analyze large datasets in Airtable and generate key insights, summaries, or reports. It also highlights patterns, anomalies, or important metrics within your data and automatically creates structured reports.

6. Creating educational quizzes and training materials using Claude Artifacts

Claude AI Artifacts combine AI's ability to generate structured educational content with the capacity to turn it into interactive elements instantly. The result is an interactive learning environment. Texts are automatically enhanced with visuals, code examples become live and editable, and knowledge checks are conducted in real time with instant feedback. A document artifact can then hold your quizzes and scenarios together as one training package.

How to use Claude Artifacts for quizzes and training materials:

1. Interactive quizzes. Describe the topic and testing format, and Claude will create a fully functional quiz with automated answer checking, hints, and explanations. This is perfect for corporate training programs or educational platforms looking to enhance engagement. Claude can transform static quiz questions into interactive HTML artifacts, enabling easy integration with learning management systems.

2. Developing training scenarios. Provide a sequence of learning steps, and Claude will generate an interactive scenario where theory alternates with practical tasks. Users can complete exercises directly in the interface, receive instant feedback and hints, and have the system adjust the difficulty of subsequent tasks based on their responses.

3. Generating practical exercises. Upload your training materials or simply describe the subject, and Claude will automatically generate a set of interactive exercises in various formats, from simple quizzes to complex cases with multiple solution paths. This is especially effective for technical subjects, where users can experiment with live code, or business training, where decision-making scenarios can be simulated.

Examples of Artifacts: quiz creation

I sent Claude a Google Doc containing questions and answers for a playful quiz about AI applications. Claude transformed this simple document into an interactive HTML quiz, ready for web implementation. The resulting artifact can be easily integrated into any webpage, with the potential to add webhook data submission for completed quizzes.

Use cases for Claude + Albato

With Albato, you can create quizzes and practical exercises to enhance your education.

Quiz content is pushed to Claude, which transforms the content into HTML. Then, you can save the output as a new collection item for a CMS like Webflow.

7. Creating mind maps and process descriptions using Claude Artifacts

For product managers, business analysts, and project leaders, documenting processes and creating diagrams is a daily task. This often means choosing between quick but unpolished hand-drawn sketches or spending significant time in specialized tools like Visio or Miro. Any process changes often require a complete overhaul of diagrams. Artifacts in Claude AI offer a faster, more adaptive approach.

How to use Claude Artifacts for mind maps and process descriptions:

1. Creating interactive mind maps for content. Claude turns text descriptions into structured, interactive maps. For example, to develop a blog content plan, you only need to describe your primary topic and target audience. Claude will generate a mind map with potential categories and subtopics. Mind maps created with Claude can also incorporate Mermaid diagrams for precise, professional-grade visualizations. This dynamic visualization helps you brainstorm and structure ideas quickly and effectively.

2. Process diagrams. Describe the process in plain text, and Claude will instantly create a professional, interactive diagram. To update it, tell Claude what to change, and the diagram will adjust while maintaining the overall structure and style. This feature is especially valuable for agile teams or when documenting technical specifications, where processes often undergo iterative refinement. With interactive elements, users can hover over blocks for additional details or navigate to linked processes, making the diagrams both informative and dynamic.

Examples of artifacts: mind mapping creation

Using a content topic list as input, I asked Claude to "Create a mind map with possible keywords" based on the main theme. The result was a comprehensive visualization of related topics, subtopics, and keyword relationships, perfect for content planning and brainstorming sessions.

Examples of Artifacts: Customer Journey Map creation (CJM)

In this Artifact example, I sent Claude AI a simple prompt asking to create a CJM example. Claude asked me for the list of data it needed and also created an example of how the finished map would look.

Examples of Artifacts: sales funnel Flowchart creation

The sales funnel visualization demonstrates Claude's capability to create dynamic, interactive flow charts. Taking basic sales process data as input, it generated a clear, visually appealing representation of the conversion path, making complex sales processes easier to understand and analyze.

Use cases Claude + Albato If you frequently work with technical or business content, Albato can help you automate creating visuals.

Every time you create a new section in your knowledge base in Confluence, ask the genAI to create visuals based on your texts.

Making the most of Claude AI Artifacts: practical tips

Two habits make Claude Artifacts more useful in daily work: a clear goal for each artifact and a mix of formats in one piece of work.

1. Start with clear purpose

   Before you start building artifacts, define your end goal. Whether creating interactive examples, SVG images, or Mermaid diagrams, each artifact should serve a specific purpose in your project. This focused approach keeps your artifacts practical and easy to maintain.

2. Combine different types

   Artifacts get more useful when you combine types. For instance, pairing an HTML page with interactive React components lets readers click through your content. If you're asking "can Claude generate images?", Claude creates SVG graphics, charts, and diagrams, but not photorealistic images.

In Albato, Claude AI (Anthropic) works as an action app with three actions: Run text prompt, Run text prompt (long-running), and Custom API request. The workflow starts from a trigger in another app, such as a new Google Sheets row, a Notion page, or a Slack message. Claude then writes the text, code, or summary, and the next step sends it to the right app.
