Powered by the new Opus 4.7 vision model, Claude Design ingests codebases and existing mockups to auto-generate a brand system that persists across every project. Users refine output through chat, inline comments, direct edits, or AI-generated sliders for spacing, color, and layout.

CPO Mike Krieger quietly resigned from Figma's board on April 14—three days before launch. The tool is live in research preview for all paid Claude subscribers, and it collapses the entire arc from first sketch to deployable product inside one ecosystem.
