"The company's flagship AI chatbot just got upgraded to be compatible with several major apps, meaning it can now handle things like ordering food, hiring people for odd-jobs, and other random tasks that you might otherwise have to manually open an app to perform."

"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.""

"Instead of jumping between apps to get something done, you do it all inside one Claude conversation."

"The benefit of having multiple apps connected means that a chatbot can theoretically execute more complicated tasks on your behalf."

"With the latest update to its chatbot, Yelp Assistant can handle natural language queries for finding a specific local business. It can also be used to take some additional actions, such as making a restaurant reservation or ordering takeout."

"I know there's MCP servers, various integrations, browser extensions etc. but I'm curious what you guys are actually running."

"As of today, the chatbot can now connect to platforms like Slack and Canva, fetching up files from inside those apps or performing tasks within them on a user's behalf."
