Claude: Anthropic introduces interactive charts and visualizations
Anthropic makes Claude multimodal: The AI chatbot can now supplement complex answers with interactive diagrams, timelines, and models directly in the chat.

Those who asked the AI chatbot Claude complex questions sometimes received answers that would have been easier to understand with a graphic. With a new feature, Anthropic now offers all users the option for interactive diagrams, charts, or visualizations to be displayed instead of text.
The graphics are embedded directly in the chat and not, as with Artifacts, found in a separate display. Anthropic emphasizes that they are only temporary. This means they change or disappear again in the course of the conversation. The feature was already announced in autumn 2025 as "Imagine with Claude" and has now entered the public beta phase. Artifacts have been established in Claude for longer: these are documents, applications, or tools created by the chatbot, which are permanently displayed in a separate side panel and can be downloaded or shared.
Anthropic tinkers with formatting
One example of the application of the new visualizations is a timeline that structures historical events and presents them in a collapsible format. The function can also display a periodic table or create a corresponding interactive model for simulating shadows. In some cases, the chatbot itself decides when to visualize answers. However, users can also explicitly ask it to do so.

The new feature is automatically activated. It is available to both paying customers and users of the free version. It is part of Anthropic's further efforts to make the AI assistant's answers more multimodal.
