Descriptions:
Nate Herk from AI Automation Society provides a real-time walkthrough of Claude Design, a new tool released by Anthropic Labs on April 17, 2026. Powered by Claude Opus 4.7 — Anthropic’s latest flagship model — Claude Design allows users to generate prototypes, slide decks, and one-page assets through conversational prompting, offering an interface reminiscent of Lovable or Bolt but backed by Anthropic’s design-focused model capabilities.
The video documents the complete setup flow: Herk imports his AI Automation Society GitHub repository, brand guidelines, and logo to create a persistent design system, then tests the tool’s ability to generate a branded 19-slide presentation from a PDF document. Claude Design reads the file, consults the design system, plans the deck structure, and begins building slides that reflect brand colors, typography, and logos — though the research preview version shows occasional stability issues under high user load during launch day.
Key product features highlighted include organization-scoped sharing for teams, export to Canva, PDF, PowerPoint, or HTML, and a handoff workflow to Claude Code for full implementation and GitHub syncing. Herk also references Opus 4.7’s visual reasoning benchmark scores — 82% and 91% versus Opus 4.6’s 69% and 84.7% respectively — as the capability driving the tool’s design intelligence. Claude Design is currently in research preview and requires a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription, with gradual rollout to subscribers.
