Anthropic Launches Economic Index Connector for Claude

Anthropic has released a new connector for Claude that links directly to the Anthropic Economic Index. This tool allows anyone to explore real data regarding how artificial intelligence is actually being utilized across the economy and in various professions.

Users can ask Claude conversational questions about AI adoption, such as which occupations use AI the most, how people in specific states use the technology, and what kinds of tasks are being automated. The system provides answers grounded strictly in the Index data, and users can ask to see the underlying data behind any response.

The connector is designed to be accessible to the general public, researchers, journalists, and policymakers who have questions about AI and work. Getting started requires no installation and takes about a minute by enabling the connector within the directory on claude.ai.

While the tool provides detailed insights into patterns of Claude usage, the company notes that the data reflects platform usage rather than the entire labor market. Claude also directs users back to the source data and its limitations during exploration, and the full datasets continue to be available for free on the company website.
