The version history lists four versions at the same URL. Claude Code published v1 for Ana Ruiz. Codex published v2 for Ben Okafor. Priya Shah edited v3 on the page. Cursor published v4 for Maya Lind. Version 4 answers Priya's comment “Can we split EMEA out?” ## Should I use Claude Artifacts or Display? Use Display when Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT also produce work. Anthropic documents no way for another agent to create a Claude artifact. Use Display too when a private page must reach people without a Claude account, or when outside reviewers without one must comment. Use Claude Artifacts when Claude makes the work and every reader has a Claude account, or when a public link is enough. Claude also has editors for slides, sheets and whiteboards. You can use both: Claude publishes the HTML or Markdown it writes through the Display MCP server. ## Claude Artifacts and Display compared: agents, sharing and comments Both give AI-made work a URL and a way to share it. They differ in which agents can publish and who can open a private page. | | Claude Artifacts | Display | |---|---|---| | **Publish from Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT** | No – Not documented | Yes – Any agent | | **Private share to a reader without a Claude account** | No – Claude sign-in | Yes – One-time password | | **Public link that opens without sign-in** | Partly – Most artifacts, not Docs | Yes | | **Share outside the company on a team plan** | Partly – Invites to Claude accounts | Yes – Email invite with a role | | **Outside reviewers comment** | Partly – Claude account, not if link-shared | Yes – Invited, with a free Display account | | **Same URL with version history** | Partly – Docs and Claude Code pages | Yes – History on Solo and higher | | **Folders and search** | Partly – Folders on Team, Enterprise | Yes – Search.

Ben's report is a Codex HTML file on his laptop. Maya's prototype is a Cursor file on hers. Display holds all three, with one way to share. - **Before:** Split by AI tool - **After:** One place for every agent Private and company pages open after sign-in. No one needs a Claude account. ## Open to every agent and everyone you work with “Open” means three things you can check today. - **Any agent publishes** – Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT or any other agent publishes HTML or Markdown through the CLI, MCP or the API. Each person connects the agent they use. - **People sign in without Claude** – Readers sign in with a one-time password. On Solo and higher plans, they can use Google or Microsoft. No reader needs a Claude account or a seat. - **Comments go back to the agent** – A reviewer selects text and comments. When you ask, your agent reads the open comments, publishes the next version at the same URL and resolves the threads. ## Edit any document in-line. Fix any line right where you read it. 1. Select Edit on the page 2. Change it on the page 3. Save – the next version at the same URL ## Readers sign in before a private doc opens Choose who can open one doc, a folder or a whole Space. - **Private by default** – A new doc is private. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. - **One-click sign-in for colleagues** – On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat. - **Invite people outside your company** – Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. - **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up. ## Claude Artifacts or Display? Many teams use both. Choose by which agents make the work and who has to open it. ### Use Claude Artifacts if - Claude makes the work, and every reader has a Claude account. - A public link is enough, and the artifact is not a Doc. - You need Claude's editors for slides, sheets or whiteboards, or an export to Word, PowerPoint or Google Docs. - The page must show live data from each viewer's connectors. - People and Claude need to edit the same doc at the same time. ### Use Display if - Your team also uses Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT or another agent. - A private page must reach people who have no Claude account. - Reviewers outside your company must comment without a Claude account. - You want work from every agent in the same Spaces and folders, with search. > “We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.” > > – Rory Powell, IT and AI Ops Manager, Kogan.com **Free plan: $0.** Publish unlimited public docs and three docs that need sign-in.

Why add Display? Many teams use both. Claude Artifacts covers work that Claude makes, for readers who have a Claude account or a public link. Display adds the two cases it does not cover: work from Cursor, Codex or another agent, and private pages for people without a Claude account. Free covers three documents that need sign-in, and Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan. Publishing is one request to your agent after you connect the Display MCP server. ### How much does Display cost? Free costs $0 for one Editor. Solo costs $12 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly. Team costs $79 a month, or $59 a month billed yearly. Business costs $265 a month, or $199 a month billed yearly. Viewers and Commenters are free and unlimited on every plan. Display's price covers only the docs. Your team keeps the AI plans it already has. ### Who can open a doc? A new doc is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. People sign in with a one-time password before a private or company doc opens. Solo and higher plans add Google and Microsoft sign-in. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta. ### Can reviewers outside our company comment? Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder with the Commenter role. To comment, they sign in to a free Display account with the invited email address. They need no Claude account and do not join your organization. People who have only a public link cannot comment. In Claude, a person invited as a Commenter can also comment, but needs a Claude account with the invited email address, and cannot comment if the artifact is also shared with anyone who has the link. ### Does Display use my content to train AI models? No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model. ### Can someone without a Claude account open a Claude artifact? It depends on how you share it. Anthropic's sharing guide says that most artifacts shared with “Anyone with the link” open without a Claude account. Docs are the exception, and they open only for people signed in to Claude. An artifact shared with named people, with your organization or by email invitation opens only after Claude sign-in. On Display, a private page opens for the people you choose after they sign in with a one-time password. ### Can Cursor or Codex create a Claude artifact? Anthropic documents three ways to create an artifact: a Claude chat, a template and Claude Code. It documents no way for another agent to create one. Display accepts HTML and Markdown from any agent through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. ### Can I share a Claude artifact on the Free plan? Anthropic's sharing guide lists “Anyone with the link” sharing for the Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans. For Free, it lists publishing a legacy artifact, which is one made in a chat before 16 September 2026. On Display Free, you can publish unlimited public documents and three documents that need sign-in. ### How do I move a Claude artifact to Display? Start from the source file. A Claude Code artifact is an HTML or Markdown file, so ask Claude Code to publish that file through the Display MCP server. A Claude Doc exports to Markdown and a Claude Design exports to standalone HTML, and you can upload either file to Display. Anthropic documents no HTML or Markdown export for Slides, Sheets or Whiteboards, so that work stays in Claude. Each later update on Display keeps the same URL. ### Does Display make slides, sheets or whiteboards? Not with editors of its own. Display publishes the HTML and Markdown that your agent writes, so a slide deck in HTML opens as a page. Native presentations and CSV files are planned. If you need Claude's Slides, Sheets or Whiteboards editors today, keep that work in Claude. ### Is Display open source? No. Display is a hosted product. “Open” means that any agent can publish to it, that the people you choose can open a doc without a Claude account, and that you can download the source file of any doc at any time. ### How do people and agents work on a doc together? Teammates comment on any line of the page. People with edit access select Edit and change the doc right on the page. Your agent reads the doc and its comments, publishes the next version at the same URL, and resolves the threads it answered. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions. ### Which agents work with Display? Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Claude and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc. ### Can I see who opened my docs? Yes. On Solo and higher plans, every doc shows its view count. Team and Business also show who opened each doc, and when. ## Give every agent the same place to publish Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
