Claude is connecting directly to your personal apps like Spotify, Uber Eats, and TurboTax

Anthropic has launched new app connectors for Claude, extending its AI's reach from work tools like Microsoft apps to a suite of personal apps including Spotify, Uber Eats, Audible, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, Instacart, and TurboTax. Available now to all Claude users (with mobile in beta), these connectors allow the AI to suggest and interact with these services directly within conversations. For example, if you ask for dinner recommendations, Claude might suggest connecting to Uber Eats or TripAdvisor. The company emphasizes that user data from connected apps won't be used to train its models, and that there are no paid placements or sponsored answers—results from multiple relevant apps are ranked purely by usefulness.

To prevent unwanted actions, Claude will ask users to verify before making purchases or reservations through connected apps. Users can browse and add connectors via the "customize" tab in the Claude sidebar. This move mirrors similar functionality in OpenAI's ChatGPT, which already supports Spotify and other apps, positioning Claude as a direct competitor in the AI personal assistant space. The expansion signals Anthropic's push to make Claude more practical for daily life, beyond just professional tasks.
