Why should I ask AI for HTML instead of markdown?
HTML carries layout, semantics, styling, and interactivity in one self-contained document — markdown loses all of that the moment it leaves the chat.
Does ChatGPT also produce HTML artifacts?
ChatGPT can generate HTML on request and increasingly renders it in canvas. The output is portable and works the same way as Claude's.
How do I render AI-generated HTML at production quality?
Paste it into artifact.export, or run it through Puppeteer/Playwright if you need full control over the rendering pipeline.
