Anthropic expands Claude with in-chat visualizations and diagrams

Anthropic unveiled a new feature on Thursday that allows users to generate interactive visualizations directly within the Claude chat interface.

Claude can now build interactive charts and diagrams, directly in the chat.

Available today in beta on all plans, including free.

Claude will automatically determine when a prompt could benefit from a visual aid and generate diagrams, charts, or tables inline within the conversation. The visuals appear inside the chat rather than in Claude’s side panel artifacts, which typically open separately and persist for users to interact with, share, or download.

Anthropic shared several examples demonstrating the feature’s capabilities, including diagrams explaining structural loads in a civil engineering problem, visual guides for students exploring potential academic majors, and shadow mapping for neighborhood planning. Users can interact with these visualizations in real time as part of the conversation, providing clearer visual context for complex topics.

While Claude can automatically decide when a visualization may help clarify a response, users can also directly ask the chatbot to generate diagrams, tables, or charts within the chat.

The launch comes as AI companies expand visualization capabilities in their assistants. Earlier this week OpenAI introduced a ChatGPT feature that generates interactive visualizations for math and science concepts.

Anthropic said the visualization feature is rolling out to all Claude users and will be enabled by default.
