Claude now connects to more everyday apps — here’s what you can do now

Anthropic is making a bold play to turn Claude into more than a chatbot. In a new update, the company announced a wave of “everyday life” connectors that let Claude plug directly into services like Spotify, Uber, Instacart, TurboTax and Booking.com. That means instead of just answering questions, Claude could help you order groceries, book a ride, find a dinner reservation or plan a vacation from one conversation.

It’s another sign that the AI race is shifting away from smarter models alone and toward useful ecosystems. Just like OpenAI has pushed ChatGPT deeper into shopping, search and productivity with its own app hub, Anthropic now wants Claude to become a daily assistant that actually gets things done.

For users, this could be one of Claude’s most practical updates yet. For the broader market, it shows the next phase of AI may be won by whichever assistant becomes the easiest to live with.

The perfect prompts to use with each of the newest Claude Connectors

With all the new Claude Connectors in mind, we actually asked Claude to come up with an actionable prompt to use with each one. Feel free to bring these up in your next chat with Claude to make these new apps offer you the best food, travel and financial suggestions:

Final thoughts

It’s encouraging to see ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude evolving beyond simple chatbots with app ecosystems that can support everyday life and productivity.

Claude’s latest additions expand its Connectors feature, giving users more ways to plan trips, compare ticket prices for sporting events, discover local restaurants and handle other real-world tasks without leaving the conversation.

Anthropic also says users remain in control when money is involved. In its official blog post, the company notes that Claude can suggest connectors and make recommendations, but it will ask for confirmation before booking or purchasing anything on a user’s behalf.
