A new website called Shared Claude lets anyone text a phone number to modify a live webpage using an AI assistant. The experiment, powered by Claude and Sendblue, invites users to add widgets, games, and art to a collective digital space. It’s a public test of what happens when an AI can directly shape a shared, real-time website.

The project follows a long history of internet creativity, from early ARPANET experiments to the chaotic, user-generated spirit of early Web 2.0 platforms like GeoCities. This experiment taps into that legacy, asking participants to build alongside each other without overwriting contributions. Community guidelines explicitly forbid malicious code and vandalism, emphasizing collaborative creation.

Success hinges on maintaining performance and safety while allowing creative freedom. The site includes a Translation Mangler widget and an interactive internet history timeline, showcasing potential applications for collaborative AI tools. Watch for how this model influences future platforms that blend human creativity with real-time AI assistance.
