Outbox vs Claude Artifacts: share what your agent builds, outside Claude
Claude Artifacts is great for iterating on a page inside Claude. It falls short when you need to send it to a client behind a password, make the link expire, or publish from a different agent. That's where Outbox fits.

When Claude Artifacts is the better fit
- All your work happens in Claude and you only share inside your organization.
- You need the page to store data or call the model while someone uses it.
When Outbox is the better fit
- You use more than one agent or tool and want one place for everything they produce.
- You send deliverables to clients and need a password, an expiration date or the ability to revoke the link.
- You want an organized library with folders and history instead of outputs scattered across chats.
