The new handoff: How to share your AI agent’s code with your team8 min read

The problem: AI agents generate code without a place to run it

Most AI coding tools solve the first part of the workflow: generating code.

They can create a component, a landing page, a dashboard, a prototype, or a small internal tool. But once the code is generated, the next step is usually on you.

You need to figure out where to put it, how to run it, how to host it, and how to share it.

That is why the same problem shows up across almost every agent workflow:

• Claude gives you an artifact, but it lives inside Claude.

• Codex writes files, but they sit on your machine.

• Cursor generates code, but you still need a local app or deploy target.

• ChatGPT gives you code, but your team cannot just open it as a working product.

The agent gives you the source.
It does not give you the environment.

And without an environment, you do not have a live app. You have a block of code.

The usual ways to share AI-generated code are broken

When you want to show someone what an agent built, you usually end up with one of these options.

1. Send a screenshot

This is fast, but it kills the product.

Buttons do not click. Charts do not respond. Forms do not work. Interactions disappear.

You did not share the app.
You shared a picture of the app.

2. Paste the code into Slack

This works for tiny snippets, but falls apart quickly.

Nobody wants to run a 200-line React component from a Slack message. The code scrolls away, loses context, and becomes almost impossible to review properly.

3. Deploy it manually

This is the “real” solution, but it is too heavy for most agent outputs.

You need a repo, a build setup, a hosting service, environment configuration, and another deploy every time something changes.

For production software, that makes sense.
For quickly sharing something an agent just made, it is wildly out of proportion.

4. Use a static HTML sharing tool

Some tools can host a single HTML file. That helps for simple static pages.

But agents are increasingly generating more than static HTML. They generate React components, interactive pages, stateful prototypes, dashboards, and app-like experiences.

A frozen HTML page is not enough.

If the code needs to stay editable, evolve over time, or run React, you need more than a static host.

You need a live workspace.

The missing layer: a place where agent code can run

The real problem is not that agents cannot write code.

The problem is that AI-generated code needs a place to become a usable app.

That place needs to do a few things well:

• Run HTML, React, and Markdown directly in the browser.

• Give you a link anyone can open.

• Keep the code editable after it is shared.

• Work with output from any agent.

• Avoid setup, repos, build steps, and deploy configuration.

That is what Anima Playground is built for.

You paste code from Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any other agent, and Playground turns it into a live, interactive app.

No local setup.
No hosting configuration.
No manual deploy.
No account required for viewers.

Just paste the code and share the running result.

Run code from any AI agent

Anima Playground is agent-agnostic. It does not matter where the code came from.

If your agent can generate HTML, React, or Markdown, you can run it in Playground.

That matters because most teams do not work in one AI tool. One person uses Claude. Another uses Cursor. Someone else uses ChatGPT. A developer may use Codex. A PM may use an artifact from a chat.

The team needs one shared place where all of that output can become something real.

From Claude: turn an artifact into a shareable app

Claude artifacts are great for creating interactive outputs inside a conversation. But sharing them with a team can be awkward, especially when the people you want feedback from are not Claude users.

With Anima, there are two ways to turn a Claude artifact into a live app.

Option 1: copy the artifact source into Playground

Open the Claude artifact, copy the source, and paste it into Anima Playground.

Playground runs it as a real app and gives you a normal link you can share with your team.

Anyone can open the link in a browser. They do not need a Claude account or Claude seat just to view it.

Option 2: use the Anima MCP inside Claude

If you are working inside Claude, the Anima MCP makes the handoff even faster.

Instead of copying code manually, you can ask Claude to share the artifact through Anima. Claude sends it to Playground and returns a live link directly in the conversation.

From Codex: turn output on disk into a live app

Codex can write files to your local environment, but a local file is not the same as a shareable app.

If Codex generates an HTML page, React component, or small app, you do not need to create a repo and deploy pipeline just to show it to someone.

Paste the code into Anima Playground and get a live link.

Now the output is no longer sitting on your disk. It is a running app your team can open, test, and discuss.

From Cursor: share what your agent built

Cursor is great for generating and editing code inside a project. But when you want to quickly show a generated page or component to someone outside your local setup, you still need a way to run and share it.

With Playground, you can copy the HTML or React code from Cursor, paste it into Anima, and instantly turn it into a live app.

From ChatGPT: turn canvas code into a working app

ChatGPT can generate useful HTML, React, and Markdown. But the result often stays inside the chat or canvas.

To share it as something interactive, copy the code into Anima Playground.

The app runs in the browser, gets a shareable link, and stays editable for the next version.

That turns a ChatGPT output from “here is some code” into “here is the app.”

Why editable sharing matters

Sharing is rarely the end of the workflow.

Someone opens the link. They click around. They notice a missing state, a copy issue, a broken layout, or a new idea.

Now you need to change it.

With a static hosted page, that usually means downloading the file, editing it somewhere else, re-uploading it, and sending a new version.

With Anima Playground, the app stays editable.

You can update the code in place, and the same shared link reflects the latest version.

That is the difference between a frozen artifact and a living app.

React support is the real test

Many “share your AI output” tools work only for simple HTML.

That is fine for static pages, but it misses where AI coding is going.

The most useful agent-generated outputs are often interactive. They include components, state, navigation, forms, filters, charts, dashboards, and product flows.

Those are not just static HTML pages.
They are app-like experiences.

And app-like experiences need an environment that can run React without forcing you to set up a full project.

That is why React support matters.

Anima Playground lets you run AI-generated React or HTML code directly in the browser, share it with a link, and keep editing it as the idea evolves.

The fastest way to share code from your AI agent

No matter where the code starts, the result is the same:

A real, interactive app anyone can open in a browser.

Agents write code. Humans need to share, review, and ship it.

AI agents are becoming part of everyday product work. They help designers create prototypes, PMs test ideas, developers explore implementation paths, and teams move faster from idea to interface.

But for agents to actually fit into team workflows, their output cannot stay trapped in chats, canvases, local files, or screenshots.

It needs to become something people can open.

Something they can click.

Something they can edit.

Something they can share.

That is the role of Anima Playground: the missing runtime between AI agents and human teams.

Your agent writes the code.
Anima Playground runs it as a live app.
Your team gets a link.
