Claude Design blew my mind

Description

I go live and get my hands dirty with Claude Design, Anthropic's new design tool in research preview. Across roughly an hour, I run a real workflow end-to-end: pulling a product idea from Idea Browser, generating wireframes, iterating into visual designs, building a pitch deck, and attempting a 30-second video ad. I share my first reactions in real time and take feedback from the chat. By the end, I land on a clear verdict — best-in-class for wireframes and visuals, weaker for video — and give you a practical sense of where this tool fits in your workflow.Timestamps00:00 – Intro00:50 – Claude Design walkthrough03:48 – Picking a product idea from Idea Browser: Senior Brains05:54 – Wire-framing Senior Brains13:54 – Reacting to the generated wireframe20:44 – Building a pitch deck for Senior Brains30:39 – Reacting to a pitch deck34:58 – Reacting to Hi-Fi wireframe40:40 – Creating a 30-second animated video ad48:58 – Reacting to animated video ad58:10 – Final verdict and recommendationsKey PointsClaude Design's wireframing is the strongest capability I've seen in a design tool to date, especially the questionnaire that extrapolates like a product manager.The pitch deck generation nails roughly 90% of the output with minimal input, which saves hours.Visual design mockups come through clean and usable, ready to iterate with 30 minutes of back-and-forth.Video generation lands at about a 5/10 — workable as a social post, weaker as a real commercial.Start with wireframes first to conserve tokens and sharpen feature decisions before committing to high fidelity.The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.comLCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
