Claude users can access more apps with Anthropic’s AI now thanks to new connectors for everything from hiking to grocery shopping. Anthropic already supported connecting numerous work-related apps to Claude, like Microsoft apps, but this expansion focuses on personal apps like Audible, Spotify, Uber, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, Instacart, TurboTax, and others.

Some of these apps, such as Spotify, already have similar connectors in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Once an app is connected, Claude will suggest relevant connected apps directly in your conversations, like using AllTrails for hike recommendations. Anthropic notes in its blog post announcing the new connectors that, “Your data from [connected apps] isn’t used to train our models, and the app doesn’t see your other conversations with Claude. You can also disconnect it at any time.”

Additionally, Anthropic says “there are no paid placements or sponsored answers in conversations with Claude.” When multiple apps seem relevant, Claude will show results from both “ranked by what’s most useful.” Claude will also ask users to verify before taking actions like making a purchase or reservation using a connected app.

The new connectors are available now on all Claude plans. Users can browse or add apps in Claude by selecting “connectors” in the “customize” tab on the Claude sidebar.
