Expert Tip: To see the difference, try the same prompt with an older model like 4.6. You might notice it takes longer, produces errors, or doesn’t generate the output correctly, as seen when comparing 4.7’s ‘Adaptive Thinking’ to 4.6’s ‘Extended Thinking’.

2. Creating an Interactive Website

Next, we’ll build an interactive website. This involves a detailed prompt designed to test Claude’s ability to follow specific instructions and select the right tools.

1. Use a prompt that asks for a website with features like ratings, pricing, pros and cons, filters, and a dark mode.
2. Request a modern interface and specific elements like comparison tools for different AI services (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
3. Check if the generated website includes functional links, correct logos, and features like dark mode and search.

Observation: Claude 4.7 successfully created a visually appealing and functional website that correctly linked to the specified services and implemented features like dark mode and search. It also appears mobile-optimized.

3. Generating an Interactive History Timeline

For educational purposes, let’s create an interactive timeline of AI history.

1. Use a simple prompt like: “Build an interactive timeline of the history of AI from 1950 to today.”
2. Review the generated timeline, noting its interactivity and decade-by-decade breakdown.

Note: With a simple prompt, Claude 4.7 does not overcomplicate the output. If you want more detail, you can ask it to generate a more detailed prompt first.

4. Visualizing World Data

This example involves creating a cinematic data visualization of world population, CO2 levels, life expectancy, and GDP per capita.

1. Prompt Claude to build a “cinematic data visualization covering 1822 to the present time,” including specific data points like world population, CO2, life expectancy, and GDP.
2. Request the visualization be rendered in an animated style, similar to a documentary.
3. Check the visualization. If the playback doesn’t work correctly, use a follow-up prompt to fix it.

Result: Claude created an impressive animated visualization. A minor issue with the video player was easily fixed with a simple follow-up prompt, showing its ability to refine outputs.

5. Designing a Photorealistic 3D Earth

Let’s create a realistic 3D model of the Earth.

1. Ask Claude to “build a photorealistic 3D Earth” using NASA satellite textures, bumps, and other details.
2. Specify the desired file type if needed.
3. Examine the generated 3D Earth, zooming in to view details and clicking on cities to see their representation.

Verdict: The result is a highly photorealistic 3D Earth model that accurately represents geographical details and city locations.

6. Recreating the ‘Powers of 10’ Experience

We will attempt to recreate the classic ‘Powers of 10’ experience as a smooth scroll-driven 3D animation.

1. Prompt Claude to “recreate the classic Powers of 10 as a smooth scroll driven 3D experience.”
2. Interact with the generated experience by zooming in and out, starting from a person on a blanket and moving towards the galaxy.

Success: Claude followed the prompt well, creating a zoomable 3D experience that moves from a close-up view of a person to outer space.

7. Simplifying Complex Visual Information

Claude’s vision capabilities can help make hard-to-understand images easier to grasp.

1. Upload an image that is visually complex, like a detailed historical chart.
2. Ask Claude to “recreate this image as something that is visually more easy to understand.”
3. Review the AI’s first attempt. If it’s not perfect, ask it to “recreate this” again for a better result.

Outcome: Claude can transform complex visuals into clear, navigable timelines or diagrams. The improved version offers interactive elements and regional categorization, making the information much more accessible than the original image.

8. Checking Copyright Limitations

Claude respects copyright and trademark laws.

1. Try prompting Claude to create content related to copyrighted material, such as Pokemon.
2. Observe Claude’s response, which should identify the trademark and suggest creating original content instead.

Result: Claude will refuse to generate copyrighted content and will prompt you to create something original, demonstrating its adherence to legal guidelines.

9. Modernizing a Classic Website

Let’s recreate the classic Space Jam website and then reimagine it for the future.

1. Prompt Claude to “recreate the legendary Space Jam website” and make it “pixel perfect.”
2. Ask it to “reimagine it and make a new version for 2026.”
3. Compare the 1996 version with the 2026 reimagined version, noting design changes like menu placement.
