About this episode

Greg Isenberg explores Claude Design, a new design tool, through a live workflow demonstration.

I share my first reactions in real time and take feedback from the chat. By the end, I land on a clear verdict — best-in-class for wireframes and visuals, weaker for video — and give you a practical sense of where this tool fits in your workflow.
