Anthropic has announced a new feature that allows Claude to create charts, diagrams, and other visual elements directly inside its responses to help users understand topics more easily. These visuals appear right within the conversation and can change as the discussion continues. Interestingly, OpenAI recently introduced a similar interactive learning feature in ChatGPT that aims to make learning math and science concepts easier.
For example, if someone asks Claude how compound interest works, the AI will now show a curve to play around with. Similarly, if someone asks about the periodic table, Claude will now create a visual version where users can click on elements to see more information.
Anthropic says the visuals are temporary and may update or disappear as the conversation evolves. This is different from Claude’s existing ‘artifacts,’ which are more permanent files or tools created by the AI that users can save, download, or share.

Claude will automatically decide when a visual explanation could help clarify something. However, users can also ask for one directly. For instance, a user can type prompts such as ‘draw this as a diagram’ or ‘visualise how this might change over time.’ Once a chart or diagram appears, users can also ask Claude to adjust it, add more details, or explore the topic.

The feature is part of a broader effort by Anthropic to improve how Claude presents information. Earlier this year, the AI started using purpose-designed formats for some topics. For instance, recipes are now shown with ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Anthropic says the new visualisation feature is already available for all Claude users and turned on by default.
