Claude<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is getting a series of new connectors that will link the AI tool with services that you probably already use in your everyday life, Anthropic announced on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Think of connectors as an easy way to\u00a0extend Claude’s functionality. You can let connectors access your apps, retrieve data and take actions within that service. In addition to new connectors, Anthropic has changed how connectors appear in conversations. Claude will now dynamically suggest a specific connector based on the conversation’s context, so you shouldn’t need to ask. The blog post suggests either finding a reservation or adding a grocery item to your cart.<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n Claude isn’t the only chatbot<\/span><\/span> that connects to external apps. Both Gemini<\/span><\/span> and ChatGPT<\/span><\/span> allow you to do the same thing. With Gemini, you can easily connect to one of several Google apps<\/span><\/span> and take action within those apps right from the chat. And the same for ChatGPT: You can connect to Canva, Zillow and many more.\u00a0<\/p>\n The\u00a0Claude directory\u00a0has grown to more than 200 connectors since it launched in July 2025, and Anthropic is promising that more are on the way.<\/p>\n Historically, Claude has been a strong LLM for getting work done, and many of its connectors reflect that. The latest additions of connectors aren’t work-focused, but life-focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
