Day 8 – Claude Lesson

Lesson Overview

Today’s lesson focuses on Claude, an increasingly popular large language model (LLM) and AI chatbot available at claude.ai. Developed by Anthropic with initial funding from Amazon, Claude regularly rivals ChatGPT, especially when new models are released. It offers a free version that includes its top-performing model, as well as premium plans for upgraded limits and additional features.

The main feature highlighted in this lesson is Claude Artifact. Even if you’ve used other chatbots like ChatGPT, Artifact stands out by allowing anyone—even non-coders—to create full featured web apps, dashboards, diagrams, presentations, and even games. By simply typing prompts or uploading screenshots, PDFs, or datasets, you can visually build and share powerful interactive content. This feature is especially practical for educators, business professionals, and creators who want to present information or create tools without writing any code.

Through practical demonstrations, you’ll see Artifact used for workflow apps, dashboards, study quizzes, games, and converting static documents into interactive lessons. These capabilities are valuable for anyone wishing to transform ideas, images, or data into shareable, interactive tools with minimal technical effort.

Who This Is For

If you’re looking for new ways to build interactive content, automate routine presentations, or create simple apps without learning to code, this lesson is for you.

• Educators seeking new methods to develop engaging lessons or quizzes
• Business professionals wanting to visualize data and create custom dashboards
• Content creators interested in building interactive diagrams, games, or info tools
• Anyone comparing leading AI chatbots for different personal or team projects
• Users who want to turn screenshots or datasets into shareable, web-based resources

Where This Fits in a Workflow

Claude’s Artifact feature fits well into any workflow where quick creation and sharing of interactive tools are required. For example, during a team meeting, you can turn a screenshot of a sales report into a full interactive dashboard—ready to publish and discuss in minutes. If you prepare educational material, you could upload a PDF lesson and prompt Artifact to convert it into an interactive course with quizzes.

This lesson builds on previous discussions about AI chatbots and prompt engineering, showing how these skills unlock more advanced applications. Artifact helps you skip manual coding or complex design, allowing more focus on outcome and usability.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

Using Claude Artifact replaces many manual, time-consuming steps in content and app creation. Traditionally, building a dashboard or interactive lesson would mean either working with developers, managing complex software, or using multiple specialized tools. With Artifact, all you need is a clear prompt or a file upload, dramatically reducing the barrier for fast prototyping and feedback.

For instance, creating a web-based data visualization or interactive form can be done in a single step—you prompt, Artifact generates, and you publish or remix as needed. This can save hours per project, speed up iterations, and help different team members—regardless of coding skill—contribute to functional prototypes or presentations. Quality is more consistent, since Claude handles the technical details, and users can instantly revise or update outputs with follow-up prompts.

Practice Exercise

Try using Claude Artifact with either an image or a PDF that you already have—this could be a screenshot from your workplace software, a chart, or a sample lesson.

1. Access Claude at claude.ai, and log in.
2. Upload your chosen file and prompt Claude to “create an interactive dashboard” or “turn this into an interactive lesson,” depending on your use case.
3. Review the output, use the publish feature to get a shareable link, and optionally use the remix function to make changes or experiment with follow-up prompts.

How did using Artifact compare to your previous method of making dashboards, forms, or lessons? Did the process save you time or inspire new ideas for reusable content?

Course Context Recap
