Anthropic today updated Claude with new connectors aimed at creative professionals, adding integration for Ableton, Adobe, Affinity, Autodesk Fusion, Blender, Resolume Arena and Wire, SketchUp, and Splice.
Connectors are tools that Claude can use to access other platforms and help complete tasks. Anthropic says Claude can open up new ways for creatives to work and take on big projects.
- Ableton – Allows users to ask questions about Live and Push product official documentation.
- Adobe – More than 50 tools from all Creative Cloud applications such as Photoshop, Premiere, and Express are available.
- Compatibility – Affinity Connector allows users to automate repetitive manufacturing tasks and generate custom features.
- Autodesk Fusion – Fusion subscribers can create and modify 3D models through conversations with Claude.
- A blender – The Blender interface adds a natural language interface for the Python API. Users can analyze and modify Blender scenes, create custom scripts to batch-apply changes to objects, and add new tools to the Blender interface. Blender documentation is available.
- Resolume Arena and Wire – Visual artists can control Arena, Avenue, and Wire in real time with natural language.
- SketchUp – Users can define an idea in Claude as a starting point for a 3D model and then open it in SketchUp for further revision.
- Splice – Music producers can search the Splice catalog for royalty-free samples.
Anthropic suggests that Claude can be useful in many creative tasks, providing instruction on complex tools, writing scripts and software plugins, translating formats and reprogramming data, and completing repetitive production work.
