Retrospective

Comment from LLI’s team about Claude’s Artifacts feature:

It’s very exciting to see LLM platforms become even more user-friendly and shorten the distance between the user’s intention and the desired outcome.

At this point, we all know that LLMs can go beyond generating text and code, but the interactions are still somewhat limited by the interface. Don’t get us wrong, a chat interface is great for generating text, but? When the user has an immediate visual representation of what’s being requested (be it a code snippet, a flowchart, or any other kind of document), and can build upon it while collaborating with others, the friction between the starting point (i.e. the prompt) and the outcome is much lower.

Props to the Claude team for this feature, and we hope to see more user-friendly AI features and tools in the future!
