Claude opens an Offscreen sign-in page, then returns to your chat. Sign in with your email, or sign in with Google.

03Start a connected chat.

Start a new conversation with the connection enabled. Claude asks permission when an Offscreen action needs your approval. Review the action before approving it.

04Try the starter prompt.

Start with your business details.

Starter prompt entered in Claude asking Offscreen for a yard sign proof without starting an order — Product walkthrough using an example business.

Show me the Offscreen catalog. Then make an 18 by 24 inch yard sign for my business and show me the proof and the price for 10. Do not start an order. Design with the Offscreen tools: get_design_guide, check_design, create_proof. Do not generate a picture of the sign; the proof is the design.

What you should see: a prompt to sign in to Offscreen, followed by the catalog. Add your business details to see a yard sign proof and a price estimate in the chat. This starter prompt does not place an order. When you are ready, approve your design and follow the checkout link to review the total, including shipping and tax, before you pay.

After an Offscreen update.

Both ChatGPT and Claude keep a copy of Offscreen's tool list from the day you connected. When we tell you the tools changed, refresh that copy or your assistant will say a feature does not exist.

In Claude: remove the Offscreen connector in Settings, Connectors, and add it again from the same link; your sign-in and saved business are kept.

Something not connecting?

Where is the connector address?

How do I order my signs?
