Claude Design blew my mind

I go live and get my hands dirty with Claude Design, Anthropic's new design tool in research preview. Across roughly an hour, I run a real workflow end-to-end: pulling a product idea from Idea Browser, generating wireframes, iterating into visual designs, building a pitch deck, and attempting a 30-second video ad. I share my first reactions in real time and take feedback from the chat. By the end, I land on a clear verdict — best-in-class for wireframes and visuals, weaker for video — and give you a practical sense of where this tool fits in your workflow.

Key Points

• Claude Design's wireframing is the strongest capability I've seen in a design tool to date, especially the questionnaire that extrapolates like a product manager.

• The pitch deck generation nails roughly 90% of the output with minimal input, which saves hours.

• Visual design mockups come through clean and usable, ready to iterate with 30 minutes of back-and-forth.

• Video generation lands at about a 5/10 — workable as a social post, weaker as a real commercial.

• Start with wireframes first to conserve tokens and sharpen feature decisions before committing to high fidelity.
