OpenAI rolls out new things so often that it’s a little surprising they haven’t replicated Claude’s Artifacts. It’s such a nice workflow to generate HTML, CSS, and JS with an interactive preview right in the app.
@manton I wonder if it’s a matter of target audience. Anthropic seems heavily invested in technical audiences, ChatGPT less so.
That said, generating interactive experiences for interacting with content on the fly is a good idea in any case.
@manton OpenAI actually does have something similar in Canvas, it lets you generate and preview interactive HTML, CSS, and JS in the app. The big limitation compared to Artifacts is you can’t share those previews with others yet, and they haven’t really marketed it well, so it’s easy to miss.
@manton And please give me theses artifacts as git repository so I can just clone them.
I really use them a lot, about 50% of my chats with claude are projects with artifacts
@pv950.bsky.social I forgot that Canvas had a preview… I haven’t used it in a long time, it is definitely buried. Thanks for the reminder!

💯💯💯. Artifacts are great. In ChatGPT when I find myself trying to format outputs as markdown, the UI gets confused and some of the content is rendered in markdown while the rest gets rendered as part of the UI which makes it unusable and hard to copy. The best way I've found to get around it is to ask it to format in org-mode or asciidoc. Claude Artifacts make this a non-issue. I also love that in addition to copying and downloading the artifact, you can also publish it as a URL.
