# Claude Design — Eight Zero-to-One Use Cases

## Definition
Eight specific applications where [[entity-product-claude-design-d5]] replaces traditional, multi-tool workflows by generating *functional code artifacts* instantly rather than raster images.

## The Eight Use Cases

1. **Pitch Decks with Live AI** — Founders embed live, interactive AI chatbots directly into a presentation slide for real-time VC demos. See [[action-interactive-pitch-decks]].
2. **Explainer Videos** — Generating ~45-second animated product videos in React/WebGL, replacing weeks of After Effects contractor work.
3. **3D Components** — Creating interactive 3D elements like data globes and product configurators without writing WebGL by hand.
4. **Design System Extraction** — Pointing Claude at a GitHub repo or Tailwind config to automatically generate a unified design system file.
5. **Web Capture & Reskin** — Ingesting a competitor's landing page structure and instantly re-rendering it using your own brand's design tokens.
6. **Interactive Dashboards** — Generating live, manipulatable analytics views from data, replacing static Tableau screenshots in board memos.
7. **Internal Admin Tools** — Instantly building moderation queues and ops dashboards, clearing out the perpetual backlog of internal tooling requests. See [[action-internal-tooling]].
8. **Mobile App Prototypes** — Generating fully functional state transitions (empty, loading, error) rather than static screens.

## Common Thread
Across all eight cases, the output is **not a raster image** but **functional code** that runs in the browser. This is the operational evidence for the collapse of [[concept-the-translation-layer]].

## Constraint to Watch
Generating complex prototypes hits practical token-budget ceilings on the Pro plan; see [[question-token-limits]].
