Ship Interactive Prototypes With Live Artifacts

Generate fully-functional React dashboards, HTML forms, or SVG diagrams inside Claude and iterate in real-time without leaving the chat. Claude Artifacts render live, executable code-see results instantly, make targeted edits conversationally, then share a working prototype with your team. Perfect for product mockups, data dashboards, and client demos.
Claude Artifacts render live, interactive outputs directly in the chat interface: React components with full state and interactivity, HTML pages with CSS and JavaScript, SVG graphics, Mermaid flowcharts, and markdown documents. When Claude generates substantial, self-contained code (typically 15+ lines), it automatically opens in a dedicated preview panel beside the conversation. The result is fully functional-React apps run, HTML pages load CSS and JavaScript, SVG renders crisply-and you can interact with it immediately.
To use Artifacts professionally: Ask Claude to build a React dashboard, interactive form, or data visualization. Instead of receiving code in a chat bubble that you'd need to copy into a local editor, you see the live result rendering in real-time. Iterate by continuing the conversation: "make the button color match the header", "add search filtering to this table", "show this data as a line chart instead". Claude updates only the relevant part of the code, and the preview refreshes instantly. This eliminates the copy-paste-test cycle entirely.
For teams: Artifacts can be shared via a private link, so non-technical stakeholders see exactly what you're building without needing access to code. Share with product managers, clients, or designers to get feedback before development. Attach a live Artifact link to a Slack message or email and anyone can click to see the current state of your prototype-no build tools, no deployment, no local setup required.
The feature works across six artifact types: plain code (syntax-highlighted), complete HTML websites, React components with hooks and state, SVG graphics and icons, Mermaid diagrams for architecture or workflows, and markdown documents for specs and plans. Available on all Claude plans-Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise-with no additional cost. For data-driven artifacts, paid plans also support Live Artifacts, which use the Model Context Protocol to connect to external data sources and refresh with current information automatically.
