Anthropic has upgraded its Claude AI platform, transforming it from a chatbot into a no-code app development environment that enables users to build, host, and share interactive AI-powered applications called Artifacts. This new capability allows users without programming skills to create functional AI apps directly within Claude by providing prompts, with the apps running on the viewer's own Claude account rather than the creator's. The feature is available in beta across Free, Pro, and Max subscription tiers. Additionally, Anthropic has introduced an Artifact hub where users can browse, fork, remix, and share these AI tools. The platform also supports embedding Claude into external projects and integrates with databases via Prisma Postgres MCP server, enabling database management and query functions. Industry observers note that Claude's approach emphasizes iterative design and prototyping through conversation before coding, distinguishing it from other AI app builders. The upgrade aligns with Anthropic's broader strategy to position Claude as a versatile AI platform for creators and developers.
