What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Artifacts are interactive pieces of content Claude can create for someone to view. Claude has a tool that describes what artifacts can do while they run. That description used to end with handing the viewer a file to save. It now also lists using the viewer's:

  • camera
  • microphone
  • location
  • screen
  • device motion
Why

Claude is now told that artifacts may be able to ask for these, so it may suggest artifacts that use them.
