SUMMARYAnthropic launched a connector for Claude that lets users query the Anthropic Economic Index directly in claude.ai. The tool provides data on how AI is being used across occupations, industries, regions, and tasks, with answers grounded in the Index’s datasets and links back to underlying source data. The company says the connector is available now with no installation required, while the full datasets remain freely accessible on Anthropic’s website.
People have hard questions about AI and work: which jobs will change, which tasks are being automated, and what it means for their own field. The Anthropic Economic Index exists to help answer them with real data. Today we're launching the Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude, which lets anyone explore that data directly.
The Anthropic Economic Index measures how AI is actually being used in the economy. The Index’s data has been useful to researchers, journalists, and policymakers, but we want it to be just as accessible to anyone curious about how AI fits into their field or day-to-day life. Now you can ask Claude questions like:
- “Which occupations use AI the most?”
- “What are the most common ways people in Colorado use Claude?”
- “What sorts of tasks do teachers use Claude for?”
- “What kinds of tasks are people automating with AI? How has that changed over the past year?”
You’ll get answers grounded directly in the Index data.
Getting started takes about a minute. In claude.ai, open the connectors menu, find the Anthropic Economic Index in the directory, and enable it—it works in any conversation with any Claude model, and there's nothing to install. From there, just ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague: start broad (“What does the Index say about my industry?”), then drill into specifics, and ask Claude to show you the underlying data behind any answer.
As always, the Index reflects patterns in Claude usage rather than the labor market as a whole, and Claude will point you back to the source data and its limitations as you explore. You can find the connector in claude.ai today, and the full datasets remain freely available on our website.
