Quick Study

AI introduction

Simon Willison used a prompt to have Claude Opus 5.5 High build an artifact: after opening a photo, it can draw a painted version of that photo within seconds using a canvas element and simulated brush strokes. Quick Study uses Sobel edge detection and, apart from Google Fonts, relies on no external libraries.

Prompt to Claude Opus 5.5 High:

Build an artifact where you open a photo and it rapidly (in a few seconds) paints a version of that photo using a canvas element and simulated paintbrush

Quick Study uses Sobel edge detection, with no external libraries beyond Google Fonts.
