Claude Sonnet 4.5 totally stole the show so nobody is paying attention to this incredible tool that came with it.
This underrated tool could actually end up completely transforming the app ecosystem forever.
Meet Imagine with Claude — a revolutionary new tool for building software — apps that are ALIVE.
Apps that write their own code — are you with me??
First of all describe whatever you want and Claude builds it on the fly — there is no underlying static codebase anywhere.
And from then on — the software generates itself.
There is no compilation or building of pre-written code — the app generates more itself in real-time as you interact with it.
Instantly turn your wild ideas into working prototypes and beyond — Tweak in any way you want and shape the end result directly.
The key distinction here is that nothing is prewritten or predetermined.
When you click a button or enter text in the environment, Claude interprets your action and generates the necessary software components to adapt and respond instantly.
It’s software that evolves based on your in-the-moment needs, which is a significant departure from static, pre-packaged applications.
This is kind of magic that’s now possible thanks to this incredible new Claude Sonnet 4.5 model.
This new version of Claude is tuned for long, multi-step reasoning and tool use.
It literally coded non-stop for 30+ hours, which is just absolutely wild.
It’s blowing every competitor out of the water when it comes to Computer Use — autonomously performing tasks with your PC.
“Imagine with Claude” is a showcase for those abilities.
It’s a short-term experiment but its implications are huge for devs and designers and everyone else.
It points to a future of disposable, adaptive software.
Imagine needing a very specific, one-off tool for a task—instead of hunting for a pre-made solution or coding it yourself, the AI could instantly assemble a custom application that functions exactly how you need it to, right when you need it.
It essentially collapses the gap between idea and working prototype to mere seconds.
Product designers could use it to create complex, interactive user interfaces instantly, allowing for faster feedback and iteration.
Users could generate specialized software to manage personal data, analyze complex information, or automate niche tasks without ever touching a line of code.
It’ll be really exciting to see just how much of an impact this has.
