Anthropic adds in-app AI app builder to Claude

♨️News – Anthropic is rolling out a new feature in Claude that lets users build AI apps directly inside the chatbot. The beta launch builds on its existing Artifacts feature, making it easier to create, test, and interact with tools in one place.

👨‍💻 Fast facts –

  • Users can describe what they want, and Claude writes the code and displays the results live.

  • Early builds include games, writing assistants, learning tools, and multi-step agent workflows. 

  • Apps can access Claude through an API, and shared usage is billed to the viewer, not the creator.

  • The feature is now available on Free, Pro, and Max plans.

🤓 OpenTools POV – Claude is no longer just answering questions, it's building solutions. This shift marks a turning point where conversational AI becomes a hands-on creation tool, not just an assistant. It puts the power to prototype in anyone’s hands.

This Week in Workflow Wednesday: AI Simplicity


 Make Process Documentation Effortless with Scribe
Process docs always fall to the bottom of the list. Too many steps. Too much formatting. Too much time.
Here’s how to skip all that and let AI do the heavy lifting:

Step 1:
Install Scribe and start doing the task - onboarding, reporting, anything repeatable.
It silently captures every click and screenshot while you work. No writing. No formatting.

Step 2:
Let Scribe auto-generate your step-by-step guide—then edit, polish, or share in seconds.
We break it down fully in this week’s issue, along with 2 other ultra-simple AI workflows

Google brings Gemini AI to terminal with new open source tool

☕News – Google is rolling out Gemini CLI, a new agentic AI tool that runs straight from your terminal. It connects Gemini models to local codebases and lets developers ask for help with everything from debugging and writing code to running commands.

👨‍💻Fast facts –

  • Gemini CLI works directly in the terminal and responds to natural language prompts.

  • It can explain code, build features, fix bugs, and execute tasks.

  • The tool supports other workflows too, like creating videos or reports.

  • Google has open sourced it under the Apache 2.0 license.

  • Free users can make up to 1,000 requests per day.

🤓OpenTools POV –This is Google getting serious about meeting developers where they are. By putting Gemini in the terminal and making it open source, it is clearly aiming to be more useful and more trusted, not just more visible.
