Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude, allowing users to explore data on how AI is being used in the economy directly within the chat interface.
- The connector enables anyone to ask questions about AI usage patterns, such as which occupations use AI most or how tasks are being automated.
- It works with any Claude model and requires no installation; users simply enable it from the connectors menu on claude.ai.
- Answers are grounded directly in Index data, though the data reflects patterns in Claude usage rather than the labor market as a whole.
This tool makes the Index's data more accessible to researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the general public interested in how AI fits into their daily lives.
