From How Anthropic built Artifacts, an example of the power of shortening feedback loops.

The team behind Artifacts leaned on Claude heavily to build Artifacts. Here’s how research scientist Alex Tamkin used Claude 3 Opus:

“Claude 3 Opus was, at the time, our most intelligent model. The process was straightforward: I’d describe the UI I wanted for Claude, and it would generate the code. I’d copy this code over and render it. I’d then take a look at what I liked or didn’t like, spot any bugs, and just keep repeating that process.

It was a really quick way to iterate on ideas!

When you can see something immediately on the screen, there’s this moment where things just ‘click’. That’s what I was aiming for with this approach – trying to get to those “a-ha!” moments faster.”
