"Also: I let Anthropic's Claude Cowork loose on my files, and it was both brilliant and scary Arriving two weeks after the research preview launch of Claude Cowork -- a feature designed to deliver the agentic capabilities of Claude Code to non-coding tasks -- the news underscores what's become an increasingly clear objective from Anthropic: make Claude the primary interface of users' working lives."
"In July, the company debuted a directory of connectors to third-party apps, including Stripe and Canva, with the goal of transforming Claude "from a helpful assistant into an informed AI collaborator that gives you more relevant responses and can work with you directly in your tools," Anthropic wrote in a press release. Rather than having to copy and paste information from an external app into Claude and vice versa, connectors enable the chatbot to pull data from those apps directly if prompted to do so."
Claude can now connect directly to workplace apps such as Figma, Asana, and Slack within a chat, eliminating the need to switch tabs. Claude Cowork brings agentic capabilities from Claude Code to non-coding tasks, enabling the assistant to act inside users' tools. A directory of connectors lets Claude pull data from third-party services like Stripe and Canva to become an informed collaborator. Connectors and in-chat app interactions allow Claude to draft Asana boards and access team account data when prompted. The feature advances Claude toward serving as a primary digital interface for business workflows while competitors pursue similar integrations.
