Claude can now generate charts and diagrams

"Starting today, Claude can generate charts and diagrams as part of its responses, either when asked directly or when it decides visuals might be helpful to the user. For example, try asking Claude what's the best way to fold a paper plane. Where previously it was limited to text, now it can show you step by step how to fold a Nakamura lock plane."

"Anthropic is quick to point out what it's introducing today isn't image generation. When producing visual aids, Claude will use HTML code and XML vector graphics. Anthropic likens it to giving Claude access to its own whiteboard."

"The new feature is available to all Claude users, regardless of whether you pay for one of Anthropic's subscriptions. However, the company does warn it's releasing beta software, so expect some quirks along the way. The feature also isn't available on mobile just yet."

Anthropic has introduced a new feature enabling Claude to create visual aids including charts and diagrams as part of its responses. The capability uses HTML code and XML vector graphics rather than image generation, functioning like providing Claude access to a whiteboard. Users can request visuals directly or Claude may suggest them when helpful for explanation. Examples include step-by-step folding instructions for paper planes. The feature is available to all Claude users at no cost, though it remains in beta with potential quirks. Mobile support is not yet available. This update follows OpenAI's recent introduction of interactive visual generation capabilities in ChatGPT.
