Anthropic Launches Interactive Claude Apps for Slack, Canva, Figma and More

• Anthropic has rolled out interactive Claude apps, allowing users to access third-party tools directly within the chatbot interface.
• The initial launch includes professional tools like Slack, Canva, Figma, Box, and Clay, with Salesforce integration coming soon.
• Users can perform tasks such as sending Slack messages, generating charts, designing content, or accessing cloud files without leaving Claude.
• This feature is available exclusively for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers, not for the free tier.
• The system is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard also used by OpenAI's Apps platform.

Why It Matters: Anthropic enhances Claude with interactive apps for workplace tools, boosting efficiency for enterprise users.
