Anthropic Economic Index Connector Now Available for Claude Users
A new tool has been made available to help users of the AI platform Claude better understand how artificial intelligence is being used in various industries and occupations. The Anthropic Economic Index connector allows anyone with access to Claude to explore data on AI usage directly, providing insights into which jobs are most affected by automation and what tasks are being taken over by machines.
The Anthropic Economic Index itself measures the actual use of AI in the economy, gathering information that has already proven useful for researchers, journalists, and policymakers. However, its creators want this valuable resource to be accessible not just to experts but also to anyone curious about how AI fits into their daily work or personal life. With the new connector, users can ask Claude questions like ‘Which occupations rely most heavily on AI?’ or ‘What are the common ways people in Colorado use Claude for?’
The data behind these answers comes directly from the Anthropic Economic Index, providing a comprehensive picture of how AI is being used across different sectors and regions. Users can start by asking broad questions about their industry or occupation, then drill down into specifics to get more detailed information. They can also ask Claude to show them the underlying data supporting any answer they receive.
It’s worth noting that the Anthropic Economic Index reflects patterns in Claude usage rather than providing a comprehensive view of the entire labor market. As users explore the data, Claude will remind them about these limitations and point them back to the source information for further context. The full datasets remain freely available on the website, alongside the new connector.
The Anthropic Economic Index connector is now live within claude.ai, requiring only a minute or so to set up. Users can find it in the connectors menu by searching for ‘Anthropic Economic Index’ and enabling it – this works with any conversation using any Claude model without needing additional installation. This tool marks an important step towards making complex data more accessible to those who need it most.
Users of claude.ai can now explore how AI is being used across various industries, occupations, and regions. The Anthropic Economic Index connector provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the impact of automation on their field or daily life.
