Claude has enhanced its platform by incorporating AI capabilities through its feature known as Artefacts. Let’s delve into the details!
Over a year ago, Claude introduced artefacts, a feature designed for project creation. This functionality allows users to open a space on the right side of the interface to monitor the progress of their work, which updates with each prompt. While useful for writing tasks or data visualization, it has proven most valuable in coding tasks. On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Claude announced an update to its artefacts, now integrating AI capabilities. Let’s explore what this means!
Claude Now Enables AI Project Creation
As a reminder: Claude’s artefacts use AI to enable you to create applications without any coding or programming skills, simply by using natural language. Until now, however, these could not incorporate AI capabilities themselves. This capability has been introduced in the latest update, which now allows the use of Claude’s API in your applications.
“With our latest update, you can create even more interactive experiences. For instance, instead of asking Claude to create a flashcard game on a specific topic, you can now request a flashcard application that allows users to pick their topic and generate their own cards,” explains Anthropic.
The focus on creating engaging applications marks the start of this new functionality. This is the aspect that Anthropic has emphasized in its blog post and accompanying presentation video: a rhythm machine, an interactive Connect Four game, a “perfect circle” game, and more.
Artefacts: How to Create AI Applications?
The update also introduces a new dedicated space for artefacts. Accessible to users on the Free, Pro, and Max plans, this space is located in the menu on the left side of the interface and allows you to view all your projects or create new ones. To do this, you can click on New Artefact at the top right. To create applications that integrate AI capabilities via Claude’s API, also make sure to click on Activate Feature in the center of the interface.
To start building an AI application, Anthropic suggests beginning your dialogue with the phrase: “Let’s build an AI application.” Below, we asked Claude to create a Battleship game in the artefacts. In just a few seconds, Claude designed the requested game.
But we decided to go further, adding even more interactivity. Our game will now be called The Grand Battle. It will take place in a universe chosen by the user, which can be specified through a text request. After producing 19 versions himself, Claude complied with our request. Thus, in the “Change Universe” bar, when we enter “Space”, we find ourselves tasked with eliminating galactic cruisers and stellar destroyers instead of the traditional aircraft carriers and submarines. However, contrary to what Claude claims — stating that “the game remains mechanically the same but adapts visually and thematically to any universe imagined by the player” — the number of universes is limited. Some do not lead to any adaptations.
This game, like all interactive creations made with Claude, can be used by any user with an account. Each session uses the connected user’s credits, allowing for the free sharing of such applications without bearing the AI-related costs oneself.
