AnthropicAnnouncement
The Anthropic Economic Index connector
Summary
The Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude makes the Index’s data available for direct question-and-answer exploration. The Index measures how AI is used in the economy, including occupations, geographic usage, and the tasks people perform or automate with Claude. Users enable the connector from the claude.ai connectors directory, without installing anything, then can ask broad or specific questions and request the underlying data behind an answer. Responses are grounded in Index data, but the source cautions that it reflects Claude usage patterns rather than the labor market as a whole; the full datasets remain freely available on the website for further exploration.
Context
The Anthropic Economic Index contains data about how AI is being used in the economy, but the source says it should be accessible not only to researchers, journalists, and policymakers, but also to anyone curious about AI’s role in their field or daily life.
Approach / What changed
A connector for Claude exposes the Anthropic Economic Index inside claude.ai. Users enable it through the connectors directory, ask questions in any conversation with any Claude model, and can request the underlying data supporting an answer.

The Index reflects patterns in Claude usage rather than the labor market as a whole, and Claude points users to the source data and its limitations.
