Anthropic has expanded its AI assistant Claude's capabilities with new connectors that let it interface directly with personal apps such as Spotify, Uber Eats, and TurboTax. The company announced the update on April 23, 2026, making the connectors available to all Claude users, with mobile support in beta.
Previously, Claude's integrations were limited to work-related apps like Microsoft 365. The new connectors cover a broader range of everyday services, including hiking trail apps and grocery shopping platforms. Users can now ask Claude to find a recipe and order ingredients, or to suggest a playlist and play it on Spotify.
"We're excited to bring Claude deeper into people's daily lives," an Anthropic spokesperson said. The connectors are designed to work seamlessly, allowing users to perform tasks across multiple apps using natural language commands.
Privacy and security remain a priority, Anthropic emphasized. Each connection requires explicit user authorization, and data is handled according to the company's privacy policy. The feature is rolling out globally to Claude users on web and mobile.
This move positions Claude as a more versatile competitor to other AI assistants, including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, which have also been expanding their third-party integrations.
