Claude adds inline interactive charts and diagrams to conversations

Claude has introduced a beta feature that enables the AI to create interactive charts, diagrams, and visualizations directly within chat conversations. This builds on last fall's preview of "Imagine with Claude" and represents a shift from permanent artifacts to temporary, conversation-driven visuals.
How it works
The feature is on by default. Claude will automatically decide when to build a visual, or users can request one directly with prompts like "draw this as a diagram" or "visualize how this might change over time." Once created, users can ask for adjustments or deeper exploration.
Key characteristics
- Inline display: Visuals appear directly in conversation responses rather than in side panels
- Temporary nature: Visuals change or disappear as conversations evolve
- Interactive elements: Users can click around for more details in some visualizations
- Conversation-driven: Designed to aid understanding during discussion rather than create polished artifacts
Examples from the source
- Ask Claude how compound interest works, and it'll provide a curve to interact with
- Ask about the periodic table, and it'll build an interactive visualization where you can click for details
Context and availability
This is part of broader improvements to Claude's response formats. Earlier this year, Claude began using purpose-designed formats for specific topics (recipes now appear with ingredients and steps, weather queries include visuals). The feature is available on all plan types.
