On October 8, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion in beta and moved Docs, Slides and Design out of beta, as described in its announcement on the Claude blog. It also said the standalone Claude Design site would become read-only after December 14, 2026.

What launched

Claude Dashboards, live dashboards built on a team's data, in beta on paid plans. They connected to Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, Snowflake and Salesforce, showed when each chart's data was last refreshed, and let users click any number to see the query behind it.
Dashboards could be sent to Amplitude, Grafana, Hex, Mixpanel, Omni, Perplexity, PostHog or Sigma.
Claude Motion, in beta on Team and Enterprise plans, turned ideas into animations exported as MP4, built with code rather than a video generation model. The output could be opened in Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, Higgsfield, invideo, Luma AI or Runway.
Docs, Slides and Design came out of beta on every Claude plan, including Free, and Anthropic said people had made more than 45 million docs, decks and designs in Claude.

Admin controls and the end of standalone Claude Design

Artifacts supported customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK), and admins chose which artifact templates their organization used.
For Enterprise admins, Dashboards and Motion were off by default, and Docs, Slides and Design were set to turn on by default on October 15.
Standalone Claude Design (claude.ai/design) was to stay available until December 14, 2026, then become read-only, and projects could not be started there.
Chats with Claude and comments on standalone projects would not be available after the closure, and public links to standalone projects would stop working then too.

What it meant for people who build with AI

Creators got native dashboards and code-built animation inside Claude. Anyone who used the standalone Claude Design site had until December 14 to move their work, and Anthropic published a help article on moving from standalone Claude Design to Claude.
