Users can now build project timelines in Asana, draft formatted Slack messages, create Figma diagrams, and query Amplitude analytics\u2014all without leaving the Claude conversation window.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Actually Usable Now<\/h2>\n<p>Ten integrations launched with full interactive capabilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amplitude<\/strong> \u2013 Build and manipulate analytics charts in real-time<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asana<\/strong> \u2013 Convert conversations into actionable project timelines<\/li>\n<li><strong>Box<\/strong> \u2013 Search, preview, and query document contents inline<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canva<\/strong> \u2013 Generate and customize presentation decks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clay<\/strong> \u2013 Pull company data, find contacts, draft outreach<\/li>\n<li><strong>Figma<\/strong> \u2013 Create flowcharts and Gantt charts from text prompts<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hex<\/strong> \u2013 Get data answers with interactive visualizations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monday.com<\/strong> \u2013 Manage boards and track project progress<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slack<\/strong> \u2013 Search conversations, draft messages, format and review before sending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Salesforce integration is coming soon through Agentforce 360, which would bring enterprise CRM context into Claude&#8217;s reasoning capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2>The Open Standard Play<\/h2>\n<p>Anthropic built these integrations on MCP Apps, a new extension to their Model Context Protocol. Here&#8217;s why that matters: MCP is open source, meaning any AI application can implement it\u2014not just Claude.<\/p>\n<p>The company is betting that developers will build interactive interfaces on MCP that work across multiple AI platforms. It&#8217;s a standards play reminiscent of how USB eventually won the connector wars. Whether competitors adopt it remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<h2>Access and Pricing<\/h2>\n<p>Interactive tools are available now on web and desktop for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. The feature will eventually reach Claude Cowork, Anthropic&#8217;s collaborative workspace product.<\/p>\n<p>The timing aligns with Anthropic&#8217;s broader push on enterprise adoption. Just four days earlier, on January 22, the company unveiled a new constitutional framework embedding safety guidelines directly into Claude&#8217;s reasoning\u2014a move aimed at satisfying enterprise compliance requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Users can access the integrations at claude.ai\/directory, where apps marked &#8220;interactive&#8221; support the new embedded functionality.<\/p>\n<p><span><i>Image source: Shutterstock<\/i><\/span> <!-- Divider --> <!-- Author info END --> <!-- Divider --> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caroline Bishop Jan 26, 2026 18:31 Claude AI now embeds Slack, Figma, Asana and other productivity tools directly in chat.
