Anthropic Launches Claude Design, Challenges Figma Directly

Anthropic has launched Claude Design, a new tool that lets users create designs, prototypes, slide decks, and marketing materials through conversational prompts. Available immediately in research preview to paid Claude subscribers, it marks the company's boldest move beyond its core language model business. Powered by the newly released Claude Opus 4.7, the product puts Anthropic in direct competition with Figma, Adobe, and Canva. Access is rolling out gradually to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, signaling Anthropic's shift from foundation model provider to full-stack product company.
