Claude Launches AI-Powered App Creation

Claude introduces new features that allow users to build and share AI-powered apps.

The AI platform Claude enables users to build, host, and share their own interactive AI-powered apps directly within its app. Through this new feature, announced on Wednesday, developers obtain the ability to construct AI applications with reduced expenses along with simplified infrastructure management.

Anthropic, the parent company of Claude, explains that when someone uses a Claude-based app, they log in with their own Claude account, and any API usage is charged to their subscription—not the app creator’s.

Anthropic says that this eliminates the need for developers to manage API keys or cover usage costs. The apps are built using code generated by Claude, which users can inspect, edit, and share.

Early users have created apps like AI-powered games with NPCs that remember conversations, personalized learning tools, data analysis apps where users upload files and ask questions, writing assistants, and workflows that combine multiple AI calls for complicated tasks.

To get started, just enable the new interactive feature in the Claude app and describe what you want to build. Claude will write the code, debug itself based on your feedback, and let you share the app with a link. Claude says it handles prompt engineering, error handling, and orchestration so you can focus on your idea.

Some current limits include no external API calls, no persistent storage, and only text-based responses. This beta feature is available to Free, Pro, and Max plan users.

Claude also introduced a dedicated space in the app to browse, customize, and organize AI creations called “artifacts.” Artifacts let anyone create shareable AI tools, games, or apps without coding, just by chatting with Claude. For example, instead of a one-time flashcard set, you can now make a flashcard app letting users choose topics and generate cards dynamically.
