Claude Design was the tool everyone wanted to like but couldn't actually use. (A few prompts and you'd hit your limit!)
A massive update this week changes that, and turns it into a tool that can replace a few others you may be paying for.
Here's a preview →
I broke down everything that changed, but these are the five worth knowing:
Shared usage limits. Claude Design and Claude Code now draw from the same 5-hour and weekly limits, so one prototype stops swallowing your session.
A real editor. Click any element and change the text, font, size or colour yourself, instead of prompting Claude (and burning tokens) for every small tweak.
Slides that replace PowerPoint. Build a deck, present full-screen with speaker notes, and export to .pptx if your company still needs the file.
Design Sync. A new /design sync command in Claude Code ports a design system you've already built straight into Claude Design, so every slide and dashboard matches your brand.
Two-way handoff. Start a front-end in Claude Design, then send it to Claude Code to wire up a live backend.
I walk through each one with real examples in that video above!
You don't need to install anything to try it - just head to claude.ai/design. And if you're a Claude Code user, run /design sync to bring your own brand across in one step.
