Cloud users can now access more apps with Anthropic’s AI new connectors For everything from hiking to grocery shopping. Anthropic already supports connecting many work-related apps to the cloud, like Microsoft apps, but this expansion focuses on personal apps like Audible, Spotify, Uber, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, Instacart, TurboTax, and others.
Some of these apps, like Spotify, already have similar connectors in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Once the app is connected, the cloud will suggest relevant connected apps directly in your conversations, like using AllTrails for hike recommendations. “Your data from (connected apps) is not used to train our models, and the app does not see your other interactions with the cloud. You can also disconnect it at any time,” Anthropic wrote in its blog post announcing the new connectors.
Additionally, Anthropic says, “There are no paid placements or sponsored answers in Conversations with Cloud.” When multiple apps seem relevant, the cloud will show results both “ranked by what’s most useful.” The cloud will also ask users to verify before taking actions like purchases or reservations using connected apps.
new connectors Now available on all cloud plans. Users can browse or add apps to the cloud by selecting “Connector” in the “Customize” tab on the cloud sidebar.
