> voice, video, shaders, 3D and built-in AI.

As someone who's thinking about side project-ing a game, this caught my eye.

I am curious to explore what Claude can yolo in terms of a retro style indie game... One who's audience might only be me.

Unless you want something that looks like it's designed by Anthropic, this is still pretty shit. Amazingly "AI" hasn't replaced the very first target on their radar - design.

Design is very hard to verbally describe, and AI doesn't have good judgement on what is easy to use or attractive.

I think it's because it's non-deterministic too. You can't iteratively improve design the same way you can code.

If they wanted couldn't they do something like RLHF? Instead of humans picking the best of 2 text outputs, they pick the best rendered design

I'd be very surprised if they're not already doing this.

Having generated ~250k web design images the past few months, I've concluded generative models, circa 2026, still suck at it. Presumably because the difference between an 'OK' design and a 'Great' one is pretty darn small and far too nuanced. That said, Imagen easily takes the cake for workable design creativity, but even then, it takes 1000ish gens to get something decent, maybe 200 if you aren't too picky.

I personally dont think Anthropic thinks this is a hit product per se. Its all about keeping the hype alive - we all saw what 'SaaS-polcalypse' did.

The amount of hype is too much for me - its smoke and mirrors. A firm that knew it was on track to change the world (as much as they have been boosting) would not do this. Much like how Apple kept complete silence about the iPhone and then shocked the world.

I've been using stich from Gemini, and just plain zAi for helping redesign my website. You can use the generated code to copy and paste the design to fit your own templates, but that's a pain. Unless you are ok with using tailwind and the dozen or so classes on every element and don't want to edit anything.

What I found valuable is the design.md that was produced. It's a guide for building each component. So using these tools becomes akin to PSD to html we used do. At least that's when I find them most effective.

I tried and not impressed. Even latest and greatest LLMs still have very poor understanding of geometry and numbers.

They state the link is claude.ai/design, which currently goes to:

Page not found Claude can help with many things, but finding this page isn’t one of them.

It's funny seeing the Co-founder of Canva commending the product. Yikes!

This app is pretty slick, this will funnel a huge number of customers away from Figma + Canva imo.

you missed that there's an export to canva button. It will funnel users _to_ Canva.

Why would they need to back to Canva? If teams are working within claude already I think they will just offboard canva/figma tasks into claude.

Non designers will vibe-design a prototype with claude, export it to canva and let the designers finish it up

If code doesn't go this direction soon, I'd be surprised. PM builds a prototype with claude, or designer designs something in figma/canva - claude vibe codes 70% of the solution using your company's frameworks and design system, then hands it off to the developer who finishes it and productionizes it

Developers (and designers) need to be involved in the prompting phase. Handing off half-assed designs and code is just a recipe for disaster.

This is like claiming that Claude Code will siphon users away from their editors.

Just like with code, AI will give you something to start with, but it's still going to require tweaking and manual input.

So.. this is why Anthropic CPO left the board of Figma

Very mid. If you have any experience building your own UI kit, this will just slow you down.

I am not an engineer, I can't look at code and determine if it is good, performant, or elegant. However, I can look at designs and make a judgement. I'm curious to see how Claude Design changes how I think about AI and its capabilities.

If you are not a software engineer you can judge code the same way as you can judge design while not being a designer.

It is that in one case it is obvious for you that you don’t understand what you are looking at, and in another, for some reason, it is not.

Very true.
