Overview
- Anthropic expanded Claude with everyday connectors to services like Spotify, Uber, Instacart, TurboTax and Booking.com, letting it handle real-world tasks inside one chat.
- The connectors are available on all subscription plans, with a mobile version in beta and more integrations on the way.
- Claude now surfaces relevant apps during a conversation and shows ranked options when more than one could handle the request.
- The assistant asks for user confirmation before any purchase or reservation, and users can disconnect apps whenever they choose.
- Anthropic says connected-app data does not train its models, other chats remain private, and answers are not sponsored, positioning Claude against rivals like ChatGPT that offer similar plug-ins.
