Designers, founders and marketers can rough out mockups and slides from a description, and it's now on the Free plan too.
Kenning's take
What it does
Claude Design builds a first version of a visual such as a mockup, prototype, slide or one-pager from a description, then lets people refine it through chat, comments, direct edits or sliders. It can apply a team's design system and hand work off to tools like Canva. It launched in April 2026 for paid plans, and Anthropic says it has since come out of beta and reached every plan including Free.
