10 ways to use what Claude and ChatGPT build for you
Claude and ChatGPT are genuinely good at building you a thing, a mockup, a dashboard, a little interactive widget, and then leaving it stranded in a chat thread. The output is good; the chat is a terrible place to keep it or do anything with it. Here are ten practical things worth doing with an AI artefact once it exists, all on one canvas you can paste onto, mark up and present from. We don't generate any of it, the models do that, so this is about the part that comes next.
1. Present it live, with no website
Paste an interactive concept onto the board and show it full-screen, actually working, in a pitch or a meeting, with nothing hosted or deployed. It's the one thing a chat window and a slide deck both can't do.
2. Mark up a mockup and send the notes back
Draw, arrow and sticky-note your changes straight onto a Claude UI mockup, then export the marked-up board as an image and drop it into your next prompt. The feedback and the thing it's about stay together.
3. Show a deck it built, slides and all
Paste an AI-made slideshow onto the board and present it; the slides stay clickable, so you can step through them in front of an audience rather than screen-sharing a chat.
4. Read a dashboard properly
Put a generated KPI dashboard on the board, circle the number that matters, add a line of commentary, and present the takeaway, not the raw output, to the people who need it.
5. Compare the versions side by side
Ask for three, paste all three onto one board, and annotate the trade-offs where you can see them together, instead of scrolling up and down a thread trying to hold them all in your head.
6. Critique a landing page
Mark up the copy and the layout on a generated page, note what's off and what's missing, and feed the marked board back in for the next pass. It turns a vague 'make it better' into specific direction.
7. Kick the tyres on a tool it built
Run an interactive calculator or form live on the board, sticky-note the edge cases and bugs you hit, and hand the annotated version to whoever builds the real thing.
8. Make an AI diagram your own
Convert a generated diagram into editable shapes, then extend it with your own branches, so it stops being the model's answer and becomes your map.
9. Turn a wall-of-text answer into a mind map
Break a long response into one-idea nodes, rearrange them to see the real structure, and mark the parts you don't buy. We wrote a whole post on this one, it's the fastest way to actually think with an answer.
10. Save the prompt with the result
Keep the prompt and the component it produced together on a board, so you or your team can reuse the recipe instead of reinventing it. The built-in 'Made with AI' examples do exactly this.
The app that helps
Mind Maps & Diagrams
Map your ideas and bring your AI work onto one canvas - mind maps, diagrams, and live HTML from Claude or ChatGPT, right in your browser.
- Paste HTML from Claude or ChatGPT, it runs live on the board, no website to deploy
- Mark up with pen, highlighter, arrows and sticky notes; present full-screen; export as an image
- Convert a pasted component into editable shapes, or start from a 'Made with AI' example
One canvas for every kind of chart, and you own it: it works offline, needs no account, and it is a one-off price, not a subscription.
Common questions
Do these need any setup?
No. Paste an artefact onto a board and go. The download works offline with no account; the online version adds cloud sync.
Does it work with both Claude and ChatGPT?
Yes, and anything else that gives you a self-contained HTML file. Paste it and it runs on the board.
