Leaked screenshots are currently cautilizing a stir in the tech industest: Anthropic is reportedly working internally on an app builder for its AI assistant Claude, which would enable applyrs to create applications directly from simple text inputs. Anthropic has not yet officially confirmed the reports, but the circulating images are turning heads.
What the Leaked Images Show
The screenshots published on the platform X point to a new feature within Claude that would allow applyrs to generate complete applications directly in the chat. These are stated to include AI chatbots, photo galleries, and landing pages created on the basis of simple prompts. If this proves true, Claude would be expanded into a full app development platform.

A Logical Next Step: Claude Code as the Foundation
Such a feature would connect seamlessly with Anthropic’s existing developer products. With Claude Code, the company already offers a powerful tool for developers that handles complex programming tquestions directly in the command line. An integrated app builder would be a consistent extension of these capabilities, also appealing to less technically experienced applyrs.
The combination of Claude Code in the background and an intuitive no-code interface in the foreground could give Anthropic a significant advantage over pure vibe-coding startups. While specialist providers must build their own infrastructure, Anthropic could draw on an already established, high-performance language model.
Lovable in the Crosshairs as a Direct Competitor
The Swedish vibe-coding pioneer Lovable, founded in Stockholm in 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin, is considered one of the most exciting European tech startups in recent times. In December 2024, the company raised $330 million at a valuation of $6.6 billion, more than tripling its value compared to July 2025. Investors include Accel, Creandum, CapitalG, and Melo Ventures.
Lovable is responding to the growing competitive pressure with, among other things, an active acquisition strategy: founder Osika announced plans to actively seek out teams and startups wishing to join the company, and hired Théo Daniellot as an experienced M&A executive.
Anthropic Is Systematically Expanding Its Product Portfolio
The possible entest into the vibe-coding market is not the first step by which Anthropic has relocated into established market segments. The company had previously introduced an AI-powered legal tool that had put pressure on European legal tech startups. Analysts such as Jackson Ader of KeyBanc had warned at the time that other industries could follow legal tech.
Whether and when Anthropic will officially announce the app builder remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is this: should the product actually appear, it is likely to significantly intensify competition in the vibe-coding segment and raise anew the question of how much space specialized startups can retain in the long term alongside the major AI platforms.
