Live Artifacts —
Build Once, Always Updated

Claude’s Artifacts used to be frozen the second you closed the chat. Now they stay connected to your apps and pull fresh data every time you open them. Build a dashboard once. It stays current forever.

What Changed

Old Artifacts were static reports. Claude built you a dashboard, you closed the chat, and the data was frozen forever. To update it, you had to rebuild the whole thing. Every. Single. Time.

Live Artifacts are connected tools. They link to your apps — your calendar, your spreadsheets, your project management, your email — and pull fresh data automatically every time you open them. Build it once. It stays current.

Where

Claude Desktop app → Cowork → Live Artifacts tab. Not available on the web.

Connects To

Google Drive, Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Asana, Linear, GitHub, Notion, and more via connectors.

Plans

Pro ($20/mo), Max ($100–200/mo), Team, and Enterprise. Requires Claude Desktop app.

How It Updates

Auto-pulls fresh data from your connected apps every time you open the artifact. No manual refresh.

Setup How to Build a Live Artifact

Step 1: Open the Claude Desktop app and go to Cowork.

Step 2: Connect your apps. Go to Settings → Connectors and authorize the apps you want your artifacts to pull from (Google Drive, Calendar, Slack, etc.).

Step 3: Start a Cowork task and describe the dashboard or tracker you want. Claude builds it and saves it to your Live Artifacts tab in the sidebar.

Step 4: Open it anytime. It pulls your current data automatically.

What’s Cowork?

Cowork is Claude’s agentic workspace inside the Desktop app. It can access your files, connect to your apps, and run multi-step tasks autonomously. Live Artifacts are a feature within Cowork — persistent dashboards that live in your sidebar and stay connected to your data.

Build These 3 Live Artifacts Worth Setting Up Today

1. KPI Dashboard

Connect it to your spreadsheets. Every time you open it, it pulls your latest numbers, compares to last week, and shows trends. No more rebuilding your Monday morning report.

Cowork Prompt — KPI Dashboard
Build me a live KPI dashboard as a Live Artifact. Connect to: My Google Sheets spreadsheet [name or describe which spreadsheet — e.g., "the one called Q2 Sales Tracker in my Drive"] Show these metrics: - [e.g., "Total revenue this month vs. last month"] - [e.g., "New customers this week"] - [e.g., "Conversion rate — leads to closed deals"] - [e.g., "Average deal size"] - [e.g., "Pipeline value — total open opportunities"] For each metric, display: - Current value (large, bold) - Comparison to previous period (↑ or ↓ with percentage) - Simple trend line or sparkline if possible Layout: Clean cards in a grid. Color-code: green for up, red for down. Make it something I'd want to check every morning — scannable in 10 seconds. Save this as a Live Artifact so it pulls fresh data from my spreadsheet every time I open it.

2. Content Calendar

Connect it to your Google Drive and Calendar. It pulls your content docs, scheduled posts, and deadlines into one view. Always current, never stale.

Cowork Prompt — Content Calendar
Build me a live content calendar as a Live Artifact. Connect to: - My Google Calendar (pull events tagged with [e.g., "Content" or your calendar name]) - My Google Drive folder [e.g., "Content Pipeline" — or describe where your drafts/content docs live] Show a weekly view with: - Each day as a column - Content pieces as cards showing: title, platform (Instagram/TikTok/LinkedIn/etc.), status (Draft / Scheduled / Published) - Color-coded by platform - Link to the Google Doc for each piece so I can click through to edit Also include: - A "This Week" summary at the top — how many pieces scheduled, how many still in draft - An "Overdue" section flagging anything past its publish date that's still in draft Save this as a Live Artifact. Every time I open it, it should pull my current calendar events and Drive files so the calendar is always up to date.

3. Morning Briefing

One dashboard that pulls everything you need to start your day: today’s meetings, unread emails that matter, open tasks, and Slack messages you missed. Open it once, you’re caught up.

Cowork Prompt — Morning Briefing
Build me a daily morning briefing as a Live Artifact. Connect to: - Google Calendar — show today's meetings with times, attendees, and meeting links - Gmail — show my 5 most important unread emails (skip newsletters and notifications, prioritize emails from real people that need a reply) - Slack — show unread mentions and DMs from the last 12 hours - [Optional: add Asana, Linear, GitHub, or whatever you use for tasks] — show my open tasks due today or overdue Layout: - Section 1: TODAY'S SCHEDULE — meetings in chronological order, with time, title, and attendees - Section 2: EMAILS THAT NEED ATTENTION — sender, subject, one-line preview, flagged by urgency - Section 3: SLACK CATCH-UP — channel or person, message preview - Section 4: TASKS DUE — task name, project, due date Keep it tight. This should be a 30-second scan, not a 10-minute read. I open this with my coffee and I know exactly what my day looks like. Save as a Live Artifact so it pulls fresh data every morning.

Good to Know

Desktop app only — Live Artifacts require the Claude Desktop app. Not available on claude.ai in the browser.

No sharing yet — Currently for personal use only. You can’t share a Live Artifact with your team (yet).

One device — Artifacts live on the device where you created them. No cross-device sync for now.

Uses more quota — Cowork tasks are compute-intensive. A single dashboard may use as much quota as dozens of regular chat messages.

Connect apps first — Go to Settings → Connectors and authorize your apps before building. The artifact can only pull from apps you’ve already connected.
