The Anthropic Economic Index measures how AI is actually used in the economy, drawing on anonymized Claude usage data.

Today Anthropic released a connector for Claude that lets anyone explore that Index data directly in chat.

Users can ask natural-language questions—like which occupations use AI most, common tasks in a given field, or how automation patterns changed over the past year—and get answers grounded in the Index.

Enabling the connector takes about a minute via the connectors menu in claude.ai; it works with any Claude model and requires no installation.

Anthropic notes the Index reflects Claude usage patterns, not the full labor market, and Claude will point users back to source data and its limits.
