I mean is it really that shocking that you can have an LLM generate structured data and shove that into a visualizer? The concern is if is reliable, which we know it isnt.
Like a much prettier version of Mermaid.
Kudos, Anthropic. Geez, this is so nice.
Now I'm going to ask it to draw a diagram of a pelican riding a bicycle, why not?
Great for summarizing a multi-step process and quick to render with simple tools.
I usually use a lot of other tools for data analysis or write code with Claude code or another LLM to do data analysis and visualization.

It's pretty bad (for me). I have to use extremely prescriptive language to tell ChatGPT what to create. Even down to the colours in the chart, because otherwise it puts black font on black background (for example). Then I have to specifically tell it to put it in a canvas, and make it interactive, and make it executable in the canvas. Then if I'm lucky I have to hit a "preview" button in the top right and hope it works (it doesn't). I could write several paragraphs telling it to do something like what Claude just demo'd and it wouldn't come close. I'm trying Claude now for financial insights and it's effortless with beautiful UX.
For posterity, Gemini is pretty good with these interactive canvases. Not nearly as good, but FAR better than ChatGPT.

But you can Sign in with Google.
If you signed up with your Apple on the iOS Claude app, to access your account on the computer, you have to open the passwords app and copy your random email address and paste it into the Claude website login.
Also if you try to copy-paste a prompt from Notes etc into the Claude chat, it gets added as an attachment, so you can't edit the prompt. If you do the four-finger shortcut to paste it as text, it mangles newlines etc.
Why are they so dumb about such basic UX for so long?

Apple forces developers to offer Sign in with Apple on iOS devices if any other sign in service is used. Apple can't force them to do it on non-Apple platforms.

Isn't this basically Apple's fault? When you signed up, Apple provided a fake email address in leu of your real one. This is great for privacy but means the service has the wrong email.
I'm sure they didn't want to provide an Apple sign in option at all, but it's required by App Store rules.

> This is great for privacy but means the service has the wrong email.
Idgaf about giving my real email or anything to random services, specially not one like Claude where they don't even let you remove your payment info.
