BEGINNER GUIDE
Stop asking Claude for text. Ask for the finished thing.
Claude can now build a document, a slide deck or a one-page design right inside your chat, on every plan including Free. Here's when to use each and five prompts that work.
Which one do I want?
- Docs: a living document you and your team edit together; exports to Word, PDF, Google Docs.
- Slides: a deck you can present from Claude or download as PowerPoint or PDF; goes straight to Google Slides.
- Design: a one-pager, a mockup or a clickable prototype.
How it works in 30 seconds
Ask in any chat. Claude builds it. Click to edit a word yourself, or tell Claude what to change. Share the link with your team, or download it.
Five prompts to try today
1. Turn notes into a 5-slide update.
Turn these notes into a 5-slide update for my team: a one-line summary up front, then what we finished, what's next, the risks, and the decisions we need.
2. Make a one-page project brief.
Make a one-page project brief from what I paste below: the goal, who it's for, the deadline, what's in and out of scope, and the open questions.
3. Build a client-ready proposal from a call transcript.
Here's a transcript of a client call. Build a client-ready proposal from it: their problem in their words, what we'll do, the timeline and next steps. Flag anything they asked that we didn't answer.
4. Turn this report into a deck that matches it.
Turn this report into a deck that matches it: same headings, same numbers, one main point per slide. Don't add any number that isn't in the report.
5. Design a one-page event flyer.
Design a one-page flyer for this event: [name, date, place]. A big headline, three reasons to come, and how to sign up.
What's the catch
Check numbers before you send; Claude drafts, you sign off. On Enterprise, admins control them in Organization settings. The old claude.ai/design site closes December 14; move design systems from the Artifacts page.
