Claude puts the chart beside the chat

Claude may not pour a large answer into the chat. It opens it in a side panel. Anthropic calls that an artifact. A document, a diagram, a board, or a small interactive tool can stand inside the panel.

This is not ChatGPT's Intelligent UI. There the chart is inside the answer. Here the chart is beside the text. You can edit the panel and come back later. Who can see it depends on the plan.

An artifact made in a chat before 16 September 2026 counts as old. Those still open. You cannot make a new one of that old kind. On the site and in the desktop app a new artifact is still made.

A Claude Code session can also publish a live page. That is not a chat bubble. It is a page with an address.

The tool in the panel is wrong too. Check a total and a date yourself.

  • Say "make this a chart in the side panel". A bare "write" can return text.
  • If a panel in an old chat opens, do not count it as the new kind.
  • The share button is not the same on every plan. If it does not open, the plan does not allow it.
  • A Claude Code page does not replace the chat. The two addresses are separate.
  • A ChatGPT or Google sign-in does not open Claude.
  • Check a total in the panel again with a calculator.

About this tool

Claude graphics are AI-generated visual responses that appear in a side panel next to the chat. While the main answer stays in the conversation, the graphic part opens in a separate panel and can contain a document, diagram, board, or a small interactive tool. Anthropic calls this an “artifact,” which differs from ChatGPT’s Intelligent UI.

Artifacts are only created in current plans; any artifact edited before 16 September 2026 is considered outdated and cannot be upgraded to a newer type. The side panel can be edited, closed, and reopened, but its visibility and share button depend on the user’s subscription. A Claude Code session can also be exported to a live page with its own URL.

How to use it

  1. In the chat, ask Claude to place the graphic in the side panel.
  2. When the side panel opens, choose the document, diagram, or interactive tool you need.
  3. Edit the content inside the panel and save any changes.
  4. Close the panel or share the Claude Code live page URL.

Frequently asked questions

What is Claude?

Claude is Anthropic’s AI model that delivers answers split between text in the chat and graphics in a side panel.

How do artifacts work?

Artifacts are visual or interactive elements shown in the side panel; they are generated only in active plans and older ones become obsolete after 16‑09‑2026.

What is a Claude Code live page?

A Claude Code live page is a separate URL where the created artifact is displayed, distinct from the chat bubble.
