AI Tutorial

How to create mini apps with Claude

• Go to Claude and sign up.

• Click on Artifacts on the left panel > New Artifact > Apps and Websites

• Tell Claude about the app you want to create.

Sample Prompt: Build a fun and colorful mini web app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The app should let users type in a task and add it to a list. Each task should show up as a sticky note with a random pastel color. Each note should have a “✅ Done” button to cross it out and fade it, and a “🗑️ Delete” button to remove it with a smooth animation. Make the app mobile-friendly and use simple, clean animations. Keep all the code in one file and add comments to explain what each part does. Only show the code, no extra text.

• Wait for a few seconds, and Claude will generate a functional app for you.

• Test your artifact and copy the code to use it anywhere.
