Anthropic turns its Economic Index into a Claude connector for direct AI-use queries
aigclink · x · 2026-07-23
Anthropic turned its Economic Index into a Claude connector, so users can query the data directly in chat instead of reading a PDF or downloading a dataset.
- It answers questions like which jobs use AI most, what people in Colorado use Claude for, and what teachers use Claude for.
- The connector surfaces patterns by occupation, region, task type, and automation trends over time.
- It is available from the Claude connector directory and works inside any Claude conversation with no setup beyond enabling it.
- Anthropic emphasizes that the index reflects Claude usage, not the whole labor market, and Claude will point users back to the raw data and methodology limits.
The main shift is format: from a report you read to data you interrogate.
