Claude Design, How Others Are Using It

2026.05.22

Hi, it's the Carat team. 🤗
Today, we're covering real Claude Design use cases, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Perplexity's search quality upgrade, and an AI CEO built for one-person companies.

Claude Design, How Others Are Using It

Anthropic shared a collection of what people are actually making with Claude Design. One user said they created a campaign landing page draft with a single prompt in about three minutes.

The thread included wireframes, portfolio sites, a home renovation management tool, a meditation app screen, and a solar design assistant interface. Most of them weren't polished final products. They showed people using Claude Design as a tool to quickly pull ideas onto a screen.

What’s especially interesting is that product planners, developers, and solo creators can simply describe the rough screen they want, let Claude create the first draft, then start editing from there.

AI is changing the speed of experimentation: getting an idea out of your head and onto a screen in minutes, throwing it away if it doesn’t work, and trying again.

📌 Today's Top 3

1️⃣ Gemini 3.5 Flash Gets Faster and Cheaper

Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash. The model focuses on faster responses and lower costs, with particular strength in coding and automated tasks.

Google says it keeps high-level intelligence while answering faster and costing much less to run. For people who use AI every day, the more important question is shifting from 'which model is the smartest?' to 'which model can I use often without worrying about cost?'

2️⃣ Perplexity Cuts Unnecessary Context from Search Answers

Perplexity says it has productionized query-aware compression to make search answers faster and more accurate. In simple terms, it removes context that doesn't help answer the question and keeps only what matters.

The key idea is that more context isn't always better. Perplexity says this approach can reduce the context it needs to process by up to 70% while improving answer quality. AI search is moving from stuffing in more information to selecting the right information more precisely.

3️⃣ An AI CEO for One-Person Companies

Tycoon launched with the pitch of being an operating system for one-person companies. It gives solo founders an AI CEO named Astra and AI employees for coding, marketing, research, SEO, finance, legal work, and operations.

The wording is a little ambitious, but the direction is clear. It tries to fill the missing team functions that solo founders usually lack. The next version of a one-person company may not mean working alone. It may mean managing an AI team well.

🧪 Today's Prompt Tip

Turn Your Photo into Birthday Cafe Fan Event Goods

Upload your photo and turn it into a Korean birthday cafe fan-event table. Think photo cards, stickers, a mini poster, cup sleeve, acrylic stand, and a ribbon-wrapped dessert box arranged on a warm cafe table.

Here's the kind of result you can make.

Generated with ChatGPT Images 2.0 on Carat

Paste the prompt below into Carat.

Use ChatGPT Images 2.0 Medium model with the prompt below to generate an image.

Use the uploaded portrait as the identity reference for printed fan goods only. Create a realistic Korean cafe fan-event table featuring custom photo goods with the person's portrait: photo cards, stickers, mini poster, cup sleeve, acrylic stand, and ribbon-wrapped dessert box. The real person is not in the scene; their image appears on the printed goods. Scene: warm cafe table by a window, iced drinks, small cake, flowers, soft sunlight, shallow depth of field, neat but cute fan-made setup. Preserve the person's face clearly across the photocard and mini poster designs. Aesthetic: Pinterest Korean birthday cafe event, clean pastel palette, realistic product photography. No readable text, no brand logos.

Try making it yourself. 👉 Create on Carat

That's all for today. See you tomorrow with more AI news. ☺️
