Claude Artifacts Gets Template Library for Faster Prototyping

Starting a new Artifact from scratch just got easier. Claude.ai added a template library with dozens of pre-built starting points for common use cases. Click "New Artifact," pick a template, and Claude customizes it based on your prompt. It's like having a design system built into your AI assistant. ## Why This Matters Artifacts are powerful, but there's friction in starting from zero. Should it be a single-page app? Multi-page? What styling approach works best? Templates eliminate that decision fatigue. Pick the pattern that matches your goal, describe what you want to build, and Claude handles the customization. **What's in the library:** - **Landing pages** - Hero sections, feature grids, pricing tables - **Dashboards** - Analytics layouts, KPI cards, chart arrangements - **Data visualizations** - Interactive charts, maps, timelines - **Interactive tools** - Calculators, form builders, config generators - **UI components** - Navigation, modals, cards, tables Each template includes responsive design, accessibility basics, and clean code structure. ## How It Works The workflow is dead simple: 1. **Start a conversation** with Claude about what you want to build 2. **Claude suggests templates** that match your description 3. **Pick one** or tell Claude to start from scratch 4. **Claude customizes** the template based on your specific needs You can also browse templates directly from the Artifacts panel and start with "Make this a project management dashboard" or "Turn this into a product showcase." ## Template Customization Depth These aren't rigid templates. Claude understands the underlying structure and can: - Swap out color schemes and typography - Add or remove sections based on your content - Integrate with different data sources - Adjust layouts for different screen sizes Think of them as intelligent starting points, not paint-by-numbers kits. ## Quick Takeaway The template library makes Artifacts more accessible for non-developers while speeding up prototyping for experienced users. If you've been curious about Artifacts but didn't know where to start, now's the time to try it. Browse the library, pick a template, and see how quickly you can go from idea to interactive prototype.
