Your Claude plan now includes design

If you pay for Claude, you already have one of the best AI design tools going. Most business owners have never opened it.

Claude Design has had a proper update, and it changes which design jobs still need a designer.

The big one is usage. Design used to have its own separate limit. Now it draws from your main Claude plan, so you can use it without watching a second meter.

Editing is easier too. You mark the design up the way you would scribble on a printout, tell Claude what to change, and it changes it.

I'm not saying fire your designer. For brand work, a good designer is worth their weight in gold. The everyday jobs are different: the one-page flyer, the slide deck, the landing page for a new offer. They sit in your someday pile because they were never worth hiring for.

A software company sent one of my clients a proposal recently. Instead of the usual PDF, it was a fully interactive webpage, and the wow factor was massive. You can now build something similar in about ten minutes.

Pick one design job off your someday pile and hand it to Claude this week.
