Ask Claude to build you a working mini-tool, right inside the chat

Claude can write and run small interactive tools on the spot (called Artifacts) — a calculator, a tracker, a quiz — and you can use it immediately, before the conversation even ends. No coding, no separate app.

Steal this promptBuild me a simple working tool, right here in this chat, that [does X — e.g. turns hours worked + hourly rate into an invoice total / tracks 5 daily habits with checkmarks]. Make it clean and usable immediately. Ask me anything you need first.

What you'll get

A tool you can click and use in the same window within a minute or two — the fastest version of 'build me a tool' there is.

Why this actually matters

This is different from asking any AI to 'write code' — Claude runs it live so you're using the finished thing immediately, not pasting code into another program.

How to do it

1

Open your AI assistant

Open the AI you use (in any chat). This works in all the popular ones.

2

Paste the prompt and fill the blanks

Copy the prompt below, paste it in, and replace anything in [brackets] with your details.

3

Read it, then refine

Read what comes back and ask it to adjust — shorter, warmer, more detail. Two tweaks and it’s perfect.

What else you can ask

Take it further ↑

This is a one-off you can run in any chat. The real magic is making it repeat — ask AI to do it every week, keep it as a living system, or have it build you a tool that does it for you. That jump from "neat trick" to "runs my work" is exactly what the ∞ apps are for.
