Anthropic summons the spirit of Flash games for the AI age
Briefly

Anthropic's new Claude-powered apps aim to recreate the nostalgia of Flash-based games from the late 1990s and early 2000s, offering users a way to build interactive experiences in their browsers. Unlike Flash, which relied on portal operators for hosting, these apps utilize each user's individual Claude subscription to manage costs. Users can share these apps easily via links, promoting collaborative creation. However, users will need to guide AI during the app-building process, indicating that while AI will assist, human oversight remains essential for successful outcomes.
"Like the Flash games of yesteryear, any Claude-powered apps you build run in the browser and can be shared with anyone who has a Claude account."
"Their API usage counts against their subscription, not yours. You pay nothing for their usage."
