I think I'm officially developing AI ADHD.

Every time I have my day planned (what I'm working on, what I'm creating for myself or clients), a new tool drops and pulls my attention somewhere else.

This week was one of the most intense ones in a while.

Three releases back-to-back:

My attention got hijacked all week, so there is one thing I want to say before we go any further: even doing this full time, I can't keep up with everything that's happening.

Nobody can, so if you're sitting at your desk feeling behind, drop the FOMO now. Nobody is caught up and whoever says they are, they are lying to you 😂

We're all just picking the few things that actually matter and letting the rest go.

Claude Design just got a seat at the design table.

First, what it actually is.

Claude Design is Anthropic's new product (still in research preview) that lets you create polished visuals by talking to Claude. It's powered by Claude Opus 4.7 and available on Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise accounts.

You describe what you want. Claude builds a first version and then you refine it through conversation, inline comments on the design itself, direct edits on the canvas, or sliders Claude generates for tweaking things like color, spacing, and style.

What you can build with it:

Output goes to PDF, PPTX, Canva, or standalone HTML. When you're done designing, you hand it off to Claude Code to actually deploy it as a live site. Claude Design itself only designs, it doesn't deploy anything.

That's the tool overview, but the biggest game in all that is the design system feature.

Before you build anything in Claude Design, set up a design system first, that understands your business, your brand aesthetic and has all the necessary brand assets to reference.

I tested it both ways. First I asked Claude to make an interactive lead magnet from one of my YouTube transcripts without setting up a design system. What I got looked fine. It had this default Claude orangey feel to it, balanced and professional in the way that almost every other person's output is going to look this week because they skipped the setup step.

Then I built a design system. I uploaded my actual fonts, my brand colors, my gradient style, and my brand image. Then I ran the exact same prompt. The second version looked very close to what I envisioned. Same content, totally different feel.

Example 1: with “Default“ Design System

Example 2: with “MY“ Design System I created with my brand assets

My best advice - spend your first hour on the design system. Upload screenshots of web pages you like, color palettes, fonts, anything that reflects your visual identity. Claude learns from all of it.

If you skip this step, your output blends into everyone else's.

I was excited to use it for social media assets since it’s integrated with Canva, but I burned a lot of credits trying to make it work. If you want carousels from Claude Design today - you can create them, but you can’t natively download them. Workaround: take screenshots from the preview or have Claude Code zip the slides as PNGs.

Overall, for this use case its much easier and cheaper with Canva AI 2.0.

I made a full walkthrough on the channel covering the design system setup, three use cases (landing page, lead magnet, social assets), and the workarounds for the things that don't work yet.

ChatGPT Images 2.0 is now the best Image Generation Model

OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.0 on April 21.

The upgrade that matters most is that text inside images actually works now which opens up a lot of use cases for educators and educational creators.

Characters and objects also stay consistent across frames, so when you generate a set of 8 images from one prompt they hold together visually, which gives new use cases for digital creators.

Paid plans come with a full commercial license, which opens up a lot for asset-based offers.

I tested it on something I've been trying (and failing) to make look good: infographics from my own content.

I fed it the transcript of my Claude Design YouTube tutorial and asked for an infographic. The result beat what I was getting from Nano Banana and NotebookLM, and honestly it wasn't close.

GPT model also understands the context of what is it creating infogrpahic on, which reduces random nonsense significantly.

Then I uploaded my brand color palette as an image and asked it to creare the infographic in those colors. It nailed it (see below).

The prompt I‘ve used, if you want to try:

That's it. Upload the palette image, paste your raw text, and let it cook.

You don’t have to have a transcript, you can upload an article or just record your brain dump.

One of the members in AI Solopreneur Club has created a very neat “About me“ infographic for her instagram, just by giving some info, her photo and her brand colors.

Now I'm testing the same approach for thumbnails, carousel slides, and quote cards. I'll keep sharing what works and what doesn't.

What ties Claude Design and ChatGPT Images 2.0 together:

Yes, they are both expanding into visual domain, but they have very different roles to play.

And about GPT-5.5

I don’t have a hot take yet, as it just rolled our hours ago.

I will give it a try, but since 99% of my workflows are in Claud now, I will not spend too much time on it, but I'll share what I find nonetheless :)

Let me know if you have already tried any of the tools and what do you think!

Until next week,
