Cloud design is the most powerful AI design tool I've ever used in my life. And today I'm going to show you some of the best ways to use this in your business based on what's working for me. So I'm going to show you several different use cases to get the most out of this so that you can leverage cloud design to create amazing websites like you can see right here. So that you can, for example, create animations, as you can see, you can also automate presentations in one single click, super easy stuff.

You can even build apps, right, like this. And then additionally, you can even create some awesome games. And I'm going to show you step by step how to use cloud design to get the most out of this stuff and to create amazing stuff out of it. So let's get straight into it.

What is cloud design? Cloud design is basically a way where you can prototype your own projects, as you can see right here, right? So you literally just name something that you want, you select this option, and then from here, what you're going to do is you can set up your design system, right? So you can add screenshots, you can attach code bases, you can drag in Figma files, you can set up design systems, right?

So inside here, for example, you can actually create these different skills. And these skills allow you to add even more customization and create even better animations or front end design or wireframes, or whatever you want inside these projects as you build them out, right? Pretty amazing. Now inside this section, you can describe exactly what you want and then get started.

Let me show you what that looks like in practice. So if we have a look at this example, we said create a beautiful, interesting, fun website for the AR Profit Boardroom. It asks us a bunch of questions. And then boom, shakalaka, we've got this section right here.

Now if we want to, we can turn off tweaks, right? Tweaks means that we can actually change the colors and that sort of thing as we go through the page, right? So we can actually customize it as we go through the page. We can also present this in full screen or in this tab, like you can see.

But the main point here is you can create these absolutely insane designs in one single click and you don't need to be able to code. You don't need to understand even what's going on here. You just literally type in what you want and boom, shakalaka, you can create whatever you want and automate whatever you want, right? And so that's how this works.

Now that was method number one. So use case number one is you can create websites using this, right? So you can create these amazing websites and you can build them out as you can see. The next option is you can actually generate animations, right?

So to generate this, we said create an animation with fun facts about blah, blah, blah. You just insert whatever you want to create an animation about. You can tell it what color palettes and fonts to use or you can just let it figure it out itself. Again, it will ask you a bunch of questions like you see here and then it will actually animate this.

This is a full video like you can see that's animated just a couple of tweaks. And again, we can tweak this and we can tell it what we want. We can add comments, we can edit, we can draw onto it to make our changes. We can go inside the chat here and tell it what we want.

But the main thing is here that we can also create animations, right? So just to recap, you can build websites and they look awesome like this, right? These look way better than your generic sort of AI generated websites. The next option is you can generate videos, right?

As you can see here and you generate them in one click. You just tell it exactly what you want from the design. And what it does is it actually designs like the individual elements and then it puts it into an animation. And you can always download or explore that later, right?

So you can download the zip file, PDF, PowerPoint. You can send it to Canva. You can export it as a HTML or you can actually hand it off to Cloud Code, which is pretty cool as well, right? So if we click on hand off to Cloud Code, you can actually give it the details here.

And then you can start editing it inside Cloud Code as well. Pretty amazing. So those are the first two options. And then you've also got this, right?

So what you can see here is this is a presentation that you can build out. How did we do that? We said create a presentation about the latest AI news this week. And as you can see here, actually pulled in the latest AI news and then plug that into a presentation with the dates and design everything.

Now you can see it on each slide here. What it's actually done is created like a list of all the changes that have happened recently. So it's broken it down and then it's created 12 different design presentation slides, like you can see. Again, we can export that as a zip, as a PDF, as a PowerPoint, et cetera.

So the cool thing about this is like if you're presenting someone, all you need to do is give Cloud the data, give it the details of what you want and it will design it all for you. And it looks way better than any template you're going to find. Looks way better than any other tool that we've ever used for AI design, right? It's super powerful.

Like even this, I mean, this looks more like a website than a presentation. And it is amazing what you can build with it. So just to recap, you can build use case number one, which is websites. And they look pretty cool.

You can also build out animations like you can see right here. You can also build out presentations. The next one is interesting. So if you've ever had like an app idea or a SaaS tool idea that you wanted to build, you can do that with this option, as you can see, right?

So with this, what you can actually do is you can build out your own apps and you can create like, for example, we created a Pomodoro timer here, right? So this is a focus timer, like you can see, nicely designed. You can add your to-do list in the left-hand side. You can add a calendar.

So your streak on the right-hand side, so how many sessions you've done, how many minutes you focus, how many goals you've completed. It's got a nice little quote here as well. And you can actually flick through those. And then at the top, you can switch between what type of block you want, right?

So you do want to do like 25 minutes of focus with five minutes rest time, 50 minutes of focus with 10 minutes rest time, 15 minutes of focus with three minutes of rest time, right? And you can switch between these ideas as well. So like short break, let me reset that. You can switch between short break, long break, focus mode, et cetera.

But the point here is that you can also create these amazing apps, you know, super awesome productivity apps like you can see here. You know, if you've got an idea, you just plug it in the chat. You tell it what you want, boom, shakalaka, you're off to the races, mate. And you can see here that you can comment, you can edit, you can draw, you can change the zoom, et cetera.

You can change it between present full screen or new tab. So we can actually open this up in a new tab, kind of looks like it's embedded on a website. But the difference here is like you just design whatever you want. And so you can create really customized apps in the space of minutes.

You just tell it exactly what you want. So that is use case number four, which is the to-do list. And then the final one is you can actually build out these pretty cool games, right? So you can see here, we can play this game against a computer.

This is a ping pong game. I mean, the design is super nice. This one was the only one that I had to tweak, by the way. The rest of the stuff that you've seen so far, I didn't have to tweak at all.

This one, I just had to tell it like it was a lid. It wasn't that smooth the first time it created it. Second time, look how cool this is, right? All these animations it's created, the way it's designed, et cetera.

It looks awesome. It's also got sound on if we wanted to switch it on, right? It's got an automatic score here. So you're not like limited to websites.

You're not limited to presentations. You're not limited to apps. You're not limited to animations. You can also, for example, create games as you can see today, right?

Now to create this, I just gave it a very specific prompt. I'm going to stop now because it's like, it's going crazy. But you can see here, we can put in a prompt over here, tell it exactly what we want to build. And then it goes off and builds it.

And what I like about this was like it plans it out very meticulously, right? So it's got this progress list. It tells you what it's working on, how it's writing it. Then it has a verifier agent to actually make sure it works.

And then it tells you exactly what it's created here. And we've got a full game created right here, right? So that's five amazing things that I personally could not build without this tool. So just to recap, the websites, right?

The websites look super nice. You can also build animations as you can see. You can build really nice presentations. You can build these amazing apps.

And you can also build super nice games, right? And this was all created with Cloud Design. And honestly, like, I think that most people are not even aware of these cases, including myself. I think there's so much more stuff that we're going to see being built with Cloud Design.

And this is just like the early stages. This is just the first couple of days it's been released, right? Imagine what people will be building with this on version two, on version three of Cloud Design, right? It's only going to get better.

This is the worst it's ever going to be. So it's really exciting to use that. So that's basically it. Just to recap here, let's talk about this.

And we'll just guide you through the basics here. So you understand exactly. All right. So Cloud Design, what is it?

Cloud Design is basically a brand new product from Anthropic. It lets you create real polished visual work just by having a conversation, right? I think, for example, prototypes, slide decks, landing pages, mobile app mockups, one pages, forms, and dashboards. As you can see right here.

You describe what you want. Cloud creates an initial version. And from there, you refine the visuals with direct edits or requests. It's powered by Cloud Opus 4.7.

Anthropic's most capable vision model to date. That means it actually sees and understands design the way a human designer would. And why does this matter? It matters because most people have ideas in their head.

They can't get them out, right? And designers are expensive. Figma has a steep learning curve. I don't think anyone's going to start learning that anytime soon.

Canva needs you to know what good looks like. And AI image tools give you good pictures, but not functional designs. That's the difference here. Cloud Design actually fills that gap so that you can save time.

And non-designers, you know, if you're running a business, if you're a marketer, et cetera, you finally get a way to turn your ideas into something you can actually show people, right? So who is this for? Well, you know, it could be you doing a presentation, agency owners trying to create a landing page. It could be, you know, maybe a wireframing a new feature.

Maybe you're building a one-pager for a campaign, et cetera. You know, anything that needs something visual, you can use this tool. So how it actually works. So Cloud Design has two main panels side by side.

On the left is the chat box over here. On the right is a live canvas where your design appears. You type what you want and it builds, right? And then you refine it by chatting or by clicking directly on the parts of the design that you want to edit and change.

So the typical flow is like you create a new project. You add any context. You write a prompt describing what you want to build. Cloud generates a design on the canvas.

You refine using the chat or inline comments. And then you export it once you're happy with it. Here's the features that make a difference, right? So number one is your brand is actually baked in.

You know, you can give it your logos. You can give it your colors, et cetera. It would just go off and do it directly. You can also add comments directly inside your designs over here.

You can edit it like that. You can add custom sliders, right? So it builds these little slider controls for you to fine tune anything, which you could do with the tweak section here. And there's also multiple export options, right?

And you can share a link with your team so they can edit it and that sort of thing. It's also free. I think it's gradually rolling out to free users. I think it's on the current...

If you're on like a cloud pro or max plan, you definitely have access. And I think it's rolling out gradually to free users too. What could you use it for? Like presentations, mobile apps, landing pages, customer feedback forms, internal tools, dashboards, marketing one pages, social media graphics, wireframes, interactive prototypes, right?

There's so many different real world use cases that you can actually use this for. That's the beauty of this. What are the limitations? So, I mean, it's in preview right now.

It's research preview. So I don't think it's going to be 100% polished. Just bear that in mind. What to write in your prompts, right?

So what do you write in the left hand side here? So the more specific you are, the better the output. So a great prompt includes four things. The goal, the layout, the content, the audience.

A weak prompt would be like, make me a landing page. A strong prompt would be like, build me a landing page for a London based SEO agency targeting SaaS founders, right? And you include all the elements you want on the actual page. So that's basically it.

Now, if you want to get a 30 day roadmap for implementing this inside your business, feel free to get that inside the AI Profit Boarding, along with a full guide on cloud code design. This is my AI automation community that helps you save time and grow with AI automation.
