Anthropic Transforms Claude into Work Control Center with New Workplace Apps

• Anthropic has introduced a new feature allowing Claude users to integrate and use interactive workplace apps directly within the chatbot interface.
• The initial suite of apps includes popular tools like Slack, Canva, Figma, Box, and Clay, with Salesforce integration planned for the near future.
• These integrations enable users to perform tasks such as sending Slack messages, generating charts, and accessing cloud files directly through Claude.
• The feature is available for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers, accessible via claude.ai/directory, but not for free users.
• Anthropic advises caution when granting access to sensitive information and suggests creating dedicated working folders for Claude.
