More and more work starts in a conversation with AI. But as you talk through a plan with Claude, it won’t be long before you want to see it: the process steps, the systems, how the pieces connect.
Today, Anthropic launched Claude Whiteboard, opens in a new tab, an artifact for brainstorming ideas right inside Claude. Anthropic worked with Lucid on the launch, so when you are ready to collaborate with your team to create more defined, data-backed, and governable documentation, you can send it straight to Lucid. Your board will open in Lucid as an editable document, ready for you and your team to work on. There's nothing to copy, paste, or redraw.
Why Claude and Lucid work better together
By sending your Claude Whiteboard to Lucid, you’ll keep ideas and documentation within the centralized space where your team already plans and makes decisions. Plus, you’ll gain access to advanced capabilities within Lucid. From our platform, you can:
Collaborate in real time: Invite teammates to add ideas, leave comments, and refine the board together.
Align on a decision: Use Visual Activities and voting to determine next steps.
Refine diagrams: Use Lucid AI to edit visuals automatically or intuitive tools on the newly renovated Lucidchart canvas to make small updates manually.
Add data: Link data for more dynamic diagrams.
Share your work safely: Use the sharing and permission controls your Lucid admins already manage.
This connection is made possible with the Lucid MCP server, opens in a new tab, the same connection that lets you search, summarize, edit, and create Lucid documents from Claude.
