# Interactive artifacts

> Dashboards, interactive charts, calculators, and mini-apps that Julius builds and runs in your browser.

An **interactive artifact** is a self-contained app Julius builds for you: a dashboard, an interactive chart, a calculator, a formatted table, or a small web tool. Julius writes the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, runs it, and shows the result inline. Nothing to install, no setup.

Use one when a static chart or a written answer isn't enough, and you want something you can click, filter, and explore.

## Creating an interactive artifact

Describe the thing you want to interact with:

> Build an interactive dashboard of these sales, filterable by region and month

> Make a mortgage calculator with sliders for rate, term, and down payment

> Create a chart I can filter by product category

> Turn this table into a searchable, sortable view

Julius builds the artifact, runs it, and shows it in the chat. Open it in the side panel for a full-size view, or find it later under **Artifacts** in your [Library](/artifacts/overview#where-to-find-your-artifacts).

## Prompting tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Describe the interaction" icon="hand-pointer">
    Spell out what should be clickable or adjustable:

    > with a date-range slider and a dropdown to switch metrics
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Be clear about inputs and outputs" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left">
    For calculators and models, name what goes in and what should come out:

    > inputs for price, units, and churn; show projected revenue and a chart
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Point at your data" icon="database">
    Reference the dataset you want it built on so it uses your real numbers:

    > use the cleaned orders table from the previous step
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Refine the layout and look" icon="pen-to-square">
    Iterate without starting over:

    > put the KPIs in a row across the top and use our brand blue
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Ideas to try

* **KPI dashboards**: live metrics in one view
* **What-if calculators**: pricing, ROI, loan, or scenario tools
* **Interactive data explorers**: filter and drill into a dataset
* **Scenario models**: adjust assumptions and watch the outputs update
* **Formatted summary tables**: searchable, sortable, ready to present

## Publishing and sharing

Click **Publish** on any interactive artifact to get a public link that anyone can open and use, always showing the latest version. See [Publishing and sharing](/artifacts/overview#publishing-and-sharing).

<Note>
  Interactive artifacts differ from [Slides](/artifacts/slides) (a presentation) and [Reports](/artifacts/reports) (long-form writing). Pick one when you want something to *use*, not only read.
