Spoiler alert, not all of them are worth embracing. The first one is a new product called Claude Design. The idea is that you should be able to provide a description of what you want to create and the AI will generate it. You can seed the process with examples. In one test case, I wanted to create a new building design. The floorplan is based on an existing design with 2BR apartments. I wanted to change the 2BR apartments with a 1BR apartment, but maintain the overall theme of the building. After half a dozen iterations, each one as bad as the one before, I gave up and realized that I would not converge on anything useful anytime soon. Unfortunately I have to give Claude Design a failing grade. I’m sure it will improve, but it’s not close. You will see dozens of YouTube videos talking about how great Claude design is.
