Claude adds creative work connectors for popular tools

Anthropic has announced new Claude connectors aimed at creative professionals, letting the assistant work with widely used software for design, music, 3D modeling, and live visuals. The new integrations include tools such as Ableton, Adobe apps, Affinity by Canva, Autodesk Fusion, Blender, Resolume, SketchUp, and Splice. Anthropic says the goal is to help users automate repetitive tasks, move assets across workflows, and get guidance inside the tools they already use. The company also highlighted uses for Claude in creative education and said it is working with several art and design programs, including Rhode Island School of Design, Ringling College of Art and Design, and Goldsmiths, University of London. Students and faculty at those schools will receive access to Claude and the new connectors as part of the initiative.
