Anthropic just dropped a certified game-changer, y’all.
Y'know the pain of having 47 browser tabs open just to finish one task? Claude is officially over it. Starting today, Claude can run actual apps directly inside its chat window.
Here’s The Lowdown: If you’re on a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan, you can now draft Slack messages, build Asana timelines, and tweak Figma designs without ever leaving the chat. (Sorry, free-tier friends—you’re stuck on the sidelines for this one).
Why this is actually wild: These aren't just embedded iframes. They’re fully interactive, logged-in instances that Claude can actually manipulate on your behalf.
The Workflow: You can tell Claude to "make a Q1 project timeline," and an actual Asana board pops up in the chat. You edit it there, and it saves there.
The Magic: It’s all powered by MCP (Model Context Protocol). Think of it like the "USB-C for AI." Anthropic open-sourced it, the Linux Foundation got it, and even OpenAI and Google are using it. Translation: This is the new industry standard.
Oh and, the Guest List is STACKED: The launch partners include Amplitude, Asana, Box, Canva, Clay, Figma, Hex, monday.com, and Slack. Salesforce is "coming soon," and since this will eventually plug into Claude Cowork (that no-code tool from last week), you can basically tell Claude to grab a file from Box, slap it into Canva, and ping the team on Slack in one move.
But Wait, is it safe?
Anthropic’s own safety docs basically say: "Don't be reckless." Instead of giving the bot the keys to your entire kingdom, start small. Create a dedicated folder for Claude and keep the rest of your Google Drive under lock and key.
You also need to be specific. Like, really specific. AI is great, but it’s still prone to "creative" interpretations of your instructions. And if you’re dealing with high-stakes finances or key infos, keep your eyes on the screen. Unless, of course, you want the #general Slack channel to see everyone’s salary because you weren't clear enough.
The Bottom Line: We’re moving from "AI that answers questions" to "AI that gets the job done." Since Claude Code launched, Anthropic’s traffic has DOUBLED, meaning the most valuable AI isn’t the one that writes the best poem—it’s the one that finishes your to-do list.
So, you ready to hire a robot?
Well if you're a paid user, you can start connecting your apps at claude.ai/directory, but remember….be wise about it.
