Anthropic just made Claude a lot more useful — and creative.
In its latest update, Claude isn’t just answering questions or summarizing documents anymore. Now, it can help you build your own AI-powered apps — right inside the chat window.
Whether you’re thinking about a simple writing tool, a fun little game, or something more advanced like a personal task manager, Claude can now help you make it. All you need to do is describe your idea, and it’ll handle the coding part.
No experience required. Just chat.
So, What’s Actually New?
This new feature is still in beta, but it’s already pretty powerful. Here’s how it works in plain terms:
- You open Claude.
- You describe the app you want to build.
- Claude writes the code automatically.
- You can see and interact with the app right there — inside Claude.
- You can tweak it, use it, or share it with others.
No switching between platforms, no setup, no downloads. Just type and build.
What Can You Make with It?
People testing the feature early have already built some cool stuff:
- Tiny AI games
- Writing and brainstorming tools
- Personal study aids
- Dashboards that analyze data
- AI workflows that use Claude multiple times to complete tasks step-by-step
You can also hook your app up to Claude’s API, so it can do more complex things like respond to users, sort data, or even call Claude again for help with the next step.
Basically, you can go from “I have an idea” to “here’s a working prototype” in minutes.
Why It’s a Big Deal
This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about access. Claude’s new tool opens the door for a much wider range of people to actually build with AI, not just use it.
Instead of needing a developer or learning how to code, you can now:
- Test out ideas quickly
- Build tools for work or personal use
- Share your creations with others
- Build smarter, faster workflows with Claude as your assistant
One smart move from Anthropic: when you share your app, the person using it pays with their subscription, not yours. That means more people can try what you’ve made, without burning through your usage.
Staying True to Claude’s Values
One of the things that sets Claude apart is how it’s built — with something called Constitutional AI, which is Anthropic’s way of keeping things ethical, safe, and aligned with human values.
That same approach applies here. Even as you build apps, Claude stays focused on being helpful, responsible, and easy to trust.
So if you’re making something for others to use — like a tool for your team or students — you don’t need to worry about sketchy behavior or surprise issues.
The Bottom Line
Here’s what this update brings to the table:
- You can now build real apps inside Claude.
- You don’t need any coding skills.
- You can interact with your app live and make changes as you go.
- You can share your app, and users will use their own subscriptions.
- You can even connect your app to Claude’s API for more advanced tasks.
Final Thoughts
This update changes what Claude is — from a smart assistant to a real AI creation tool.
It’s a big leap. Instead of just talking to AI, you’re now building with it. Whether you’re an entrepreneur with an idea, a student building a project, or just curious to see what’s possible — this new feature gives you an easy way to create something useful in minutes.
