An enterprise user of Claude desktop needs a visual workspace or "Canvas functionality" within the application's "Projects" feature. This would help in organizing and managing project-related content and workflows, similar to what ChatGPT offers, making the app more indispensable for daily tasks.
Anthropic’s Claude desktop app is excellent for the non-coding enterprise users. Two minor features, and Claude desktop would become indispensable for my day to day. Claude has always led the pack in enterprise workflow features. IMO. They were the first to embrace Projects and Artifacts as first class objects. And they literally defined the standard in interoperability with thier Model Context Protocol (MCP). I create Projects for different parts of my job. So I have one for Product and Design document writing. For reference docs, this project contains templates, my favorite examples, summary background info on my company and my products. Often I’ll use Deep Research by Perplexity or ChatGPT (Gemini Deep Research thinks it’s a PhD student no matter the prompt I give it), and drop that output into Claude to draft documents. I have a Project for Tickets. We use both HubSpot and Jira, depending on the department. Using MCP, Claude has access to both of these ticket systems. I’ve put reference info in the project that defines the different ticket systems, ticket pipelines, and my particular name for stuff. (Example, what I call the “Support Pipeline” is pipeline id 0 and has a different labeled name in HubSpot. But Claude now knows what I intend when I say Support Pipeline.) So with templates and instructions, I can ask for any overdue tickets with summary explanation … and if I need to get involved. My two feature requests … 1. Let me specify individual MCPs by Project. I have lots of integrations for Claude, and it can get confused sometimes. If it was specialised by Project, would be way easier to manage. 2. Let me edit Artifacts in the app. Yes I can ask the LLM for changes, yes I can download or push to Google docs and so on. But often I want to make quick edits, delete a section, and keep interating with the model or then push directly to someone. I currently have to copy and paste or down, edit, upload. And I want projects to be my system of record. 3. Bonus feature request … leave project-knowledge files in format. I get that you are stripping them for unneeded tokens, but you could do that on the fly so I can more easily see (or even edit! Would that be bonus feature request number 2?) what info I’ve given to drive the project. Yes, I know pdfs are handled differently. #AIPRODUCTMANAGEMENT
