Let's try Claude Design together. In this episode, I get my hands dirty with Claude Design. You see me struggle, you see me push the edges. And by the end of this episode, you will become a top 1% Claude Designer. Claude Design is a best in class product for wireframes, visual designs, not so much videos. You'll see why by the end of this episode. This episode was a live stream that I did, so you're going to see my first reactions to using Claude Design. If you want to see me do more live streams, more trying products in real time, like and comment below. I had a lot of fun, but if you're not having fun with me, then I'm not going to do it. So let me know and I'll see you in there. Enjoy.
And we are live. And we're gonna be talking about, actually, we're not gonna be talking about it. We're gonna go through Claude Design. Claude Design. We're gonna go through it together, because it's the weekend, because it's a good product, and we're gonna see how good it is. I have no affiliation with it, but we're gonna go through it together. And we're just gonna, yeah, we're gonna see what we think. So yeah, a lot of people have been asking me, Greg, what do you think of Claude Design? Is it good? I know it's in ReShare's preview. And I figure we just go through it together. I figure we go through it together. Together, it's the weekend, and I'll just do a live, right? Let's do a live and see what people think. So I got the comment section open. So I want to, you know, let me know what you think. What's good, G? Not much. Let's get it. Yo, how do you pull it up? You go to claude.ai/design, and you can pull it up. And together, we're going to go through it. We're going to try to create a video. We're going to try to create a slide deck. We're going to go and create a website. We'll create an app. I don't know where this is going to go, but by the end of this, by the end of this, we're going to know if Claude Design is worth our time, how to use it. I'm going to make some mistakes. We're going to make some mistakes. And through that, we're going to come out the other side, knowing how to use this tool. The only way to know is to get your hands dirty. So that's what this is about. I was on YouTube before, and I was seeing some YouTube tutorials, and they didn't feel authentic to me. They didn't feel real to me. So what this episode, this live episode is going to be, is going to be me being real about what Claude Design is, how it works. We're going to go through it together, and it's just a live demo. It's a live demo, so stuff is going to go wrong, and we're going to see it together. So welcome, everyone. Let's get right into it. So first thing I'm noticing is, you can create a new prototype, you can create a new slide deck, you can start from a template, which is pretty cool, right? So you can start from like an animation, like a timeline-based motion design, or you can set up a design system. So you can create a design system, so anyone could create a good-looking design asset. I might want to try this later. This is interesting to me, because I want to know if I have a design system in Figma, can I just import it in here and it works? Or can I use Claude to create a design system? Say I like the design system Apple, can I pull that into here and just get going? So let's just say we want to create a new project. So I need an idea, so I'll just grab an idea from ideabrowser.com. I'm going to pick an idea that I think is interesting, that I would actually go and build. So I'm going to filter it, let's say by a mobile app.
And, okay, so engaging brain app, engaging brain exercises app for seniors. So cognitive decline robs seniors of independence. This platform automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance. Basically, personalized brain workouts for seniors. Like this is probably an interesting idea, probably would do well. And let's see what it would look like. So, let's go, we'll just call it Senior Brains. And let's just ask it to create a wireframe first. So it's going to ask us, start with context. Designs grounded in a real context turn out better. So we can add a screenshot, add a code base, drag a Figma file, design system. I'm literally just going to screenshot this, and I'm going to see what it comes up with. So this is basically just a brief description of an idea. We're just going to throw it in here. I'm going to say, hey, this is an app idea I think is good. I'm inspired by gamified apps like Dua Lingo, and the Brain Rot app, which has a mascot.
