Claude expands app integrations to lifestyle services like Spotify, Uber Eats, and Instacart

Claude Can Connect to More Apps You Use Every Day

Blake has over a decade of experience writing for the web, with a focus on mobile phones, where he covered the smartphone boom of the 2010s and the broader tech scene. When he's not in front of a keyboard, you'll most likely find him playing video games or watching horror movies. Claude's getting a series of new connectors that will link the AI tool with services that you probably already use in your everyday life, Anthropic announced on Thursday. Think of connectors as an easy way to extend Claude's functionality. You can let connectors access your apps, retrieve data, and take actions within that service. In addition to new connectors, Anthropic has changed how connectors appear in conversations. Claude will now dynamically suggest a specific connector depending on the context of the conversation, so you shouldn't need to specifically ask. The blog post gives the suggestion of finding a reservation or adding a grocery item to your cart. Claude isn't the only chatbot that connects to external apps, as both Gemini and ChatGPT allow you to do the same thing. With Gemini, you can easily connect to one of several Google apps and take action within those apps right from the chat. And the same for ChatGPT: You can connect to Canva, Zillow and many more. The Claude directory has grown to more than 200 connectors since it launched in July 2025, and Anthropic is promising that more are on the way. Historically, Claude has been a strong LLM for getting work done, and many of its connectors reflect that. The latest additions of connectors aren't work-focused, but life-focused. Here's a list of some of the latest connectors within Claude. With so many connectors to choose from, it might be intimidating to find what you're looking for. Since Claude is ad-free, the only connectors that are suggested are the ones that should be most useful to you and your needs. Connectors are designed to make apps and services easier to access within Claude, and Anthropic said it doesn't use any of the data retrieved from a connector to train its models. Claude will always ask you to confirm a major decision like finalizing a purchase, and you can also easily disconnect a service when you no longer need it.

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

Claude users can access more apps with Anthropic's AI now thanks to new connectors for everything from hiking to grocery shopping. Anthropic already supported connecting numerous work-related apps to Claude, like Microsoft apps, but this expansion focuses on personal apps like Audible, Spotify, Uber, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, Instacart, TurboTax, and others. Some of these apps, such as Spotify, already have similar connectors in OpenAI's ChatGPT. Once an app is connected, Claude will suggest relevant connected apps directly in your conversations, like using AllTrails for hike recommendations. 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." Additionally, Anthropic says "there are no paid placements or sponsored answers in conversations with Claude." When multiple apps seem relevant, Claude will show results from both "ranked by what's most useful." Claude will also ask users to verify before taking actions like making a purchase or reservation using a connected app. The new connectors are available now on all Claude plans. Users can browse or add apps in Claude by selecting "connectors" in the "customize" tab on the Claude sidebar.

Claude can now connect to lifestyle apps like Spotify, Instacart and AllTrails

Anthropic is expanding its directory of connected services for its Claude AI chatbot. The platform can now link up with your accounts on AllTrails, Audible, Booking.com, Instacart, Intuit Credit Karma, Intuit TurboTax, Resy, Spotify, StubHub, Taskrabbit, Thumbtack, TripAdvisor, Uber, Uber Eats and Viator. Additional services will be added in the future. More and more AI companies are trying to up their third-party integrations in a pitch to make their services as useful as possible. The benefit of having multiple apps connected means that a chatbot can theoretically execute more complicated tasks on your behalf. This expansion takes that capability from the professional and educational settings, where Anthropic's connectors have been focused for the past year, to a personal one. So, for instance, Claude can now help plan a hike on AllTrails and then pull up a Spotify playlist that will last for the duration of your trek. Anthropic noted that it is also reframing how apps are showing up so that an appropriate service is suggested for the task you want to perform. The apps should appear dynamically within the Claude conversation rather than needing a user to swipe between programs. As with most AI actions, Claude is supposed to check with its user before actually taking any actions like securing a reservation or making a purchase.
