Anthropic’s ‘Artifacts’ turn AI conversations into useful documents

by admin



Anthropic AI recently launched its “Artifacts” feature for general use by paid and free Claude users. The new feature is also available on iOS and Android devices for the first time as well.  

Artifacts is a feature that automatically prompts the Claude artificial intelligence model to separate certain information from user conversations into a separate window containing pertinent details, outlines, graphs, code snippets, overviews, and myriad other potential use-cases.

The feature originally launched alongside Claude 3.5 Sonnet in June as part of Anthropic’s preview system for paid subscribers. Initially only available on browsers, it’s been widely-lauded by insiders and pundits.

Preview users have referred to it as being among the most “useful” and “cool” additions to the chatbot arena. 

According to Anthropic: 

“When a user asks Claude to generate content like code snippets, text documents, or website designs, these Artifacts appear in a dedicated window alongside their conversation. This creates a dynamic workspace where they can see, edit, and build upon Claude’s creations in real-time, seamlessly integrating AI-generated content into their projects and workflows.”

The documents generated in the side window can be tweaked through conversations with the AI model allowing for continuing customization. They can also be shared with other Claude users as community Artifacts where they can then be “remixed” and reused. 

Anthropic says more than 10 million artifacts have been created since June, with many of those featuring developer code. However, other users have also touted the feature’s ability to collaboratively create project overviews, designs, and even more complex workflows when integrated with Claude’s “projects” feature. 

AI regulation

The update comes as the company behind it has been engaged in a tug-of-war with California lawmakers over a controversial bill. As Cointelegraph reported, Anthropic was involved in the decision-making process for California bill SB-1074. 

The bill, which would ostensibly hold AI developers accountable for harm caused by their models, is currently awaiting passage or veto from Governor Gavin Newsom with a deadline of Aug. 31.
