Claude’s New Visual Tools Could Make Learning on the Job Faster Than Ever
Anthropic’s AI can now generate inline visualizations and diagrams.
Claude can now create interactive visuals directly in your chat, unlocking a whole new way of learning—for all users.
Anthropic announced that Claude has been updated with the ability to generate inline visuals and widgets like custom charts, diagrams, timelines, and more. In a press release, Anthropic said that Claude’s new visualization capabilities are an expansion of “Imagine with Claude,” a temporary experience that Anthropic briefly showed off in Fall 2025.
Imagine with Claude enabled, Claude subscribers can generate custom user interfaces in real time on a virtual desktop. But instead of writing code, this version of Claude had been given access to tools that allow it to construct software on the fly. The new visualization feature works similarly, changing and evolving as a conversation goes on.
In examples, Anthropic showed how the feature could be used by students to develop more immersive learning, like generating an interactive periodic table and creating diagram instructions for how to fold a paper airplane. Claude visualizations could also provide entrepreneurs with daily updates of their revenue numbers, pulled directly from enterprise data, or compare two job candidates’ resumes.
I asked Claude to develop a visual, interactive timeline of the controversy surrounding Timothee Chalamet’s comments on opera and ballet, and within minutes, the AI delivered a comprehensive visualization of each major incident in the story, including a meter that measured “outrage level.” In another test, Claude successfully generated a visual history of the Pokémon franchise, complete with filters to separate games, media, and cultural moments.
Anthropic says that the visualization feature will be automatically enabled for all Claude users, including those on the free plan. Claude will generate visualizations when it sees an opportunity to do so, but you can also just directly ask it to activate the feature by using prompts like “draw this as a diagram” and “visualize how this might change over time.” These visualizations and widgets can also interact with apps like Figma, Canva, and Slack, according to Anthropic.
