Anthropic adds 16 service integrations to Claude, including Uber, Instacart, and Audible

Anthropic expanded Claude's connector system with 16 new service integrations this week, bringing the total partner count to over 200. The new additions allow Claude users to interact directly with Uber, Instacart, Audible, and other consumer services without leaving the Claude interface.

The full list of newly integrated services includes:

  • AllTrails
  • Audible
  • Booking.com
  • Instacart
  • Intuit Credit Karma
  • Intuit TurboTax
  • Resy
  • Spotify
  • StubHub
  • Taskrabbit
  • Thumbtack
  • Tripadvisor
  • Uber
  • Uber Eats
  • Viator

How Claude connectors work

According to Anthropic, these services surface in conversations based on relevance, with no paid placements or sponsored answers. "Claude is ad-free and will stay that way," the company stated. When multiple connectors could assist with a request, both appear ranked by usefulness to the user.

Anthropic first introduced the connector system in July 2025. The complete connector directory lists all available integrations, with Anthropic confirming more partnerships are in development.

Managed Agents gain memory capability

Separately, Anthropic updated its Managed Agents feature with built-in memory. Agents can now retain information across sessions using what Anthropic describes as an "intelligence-optimized memory layer." Because memories are stored as files, developers can export them, manage them via API, and maintain control over retained information.

Anthropic launched Managed Agents in early April 2026.

Claude Code adds one-time task scheduling

Claude Code, the company's developer-focused tool, now supports scheduling one-time tasks through the routines feature. Users can schedule tasks via CLI or the Routines UI using the "Schedule -> Once" trigger. Example use cases include scheduling feature flag cleanups or requesting launch reports at specific future times.

Anthropic redesigned the Claude Code experience earlier this month.

What this means

The connector expansion represents Anthropic's push to make Claude a central interface for everyday tasks, directly competing with OpenAI's GPT integrations and Google's extension ecosystem. The emphasis on ad-free operation and no paid placements differentiates Claude from potential competitor monetization strategies. With over 200 partners now integrated, Claude is positioning itself as a comprehensive assistant that can execute tasks across multiple services rather than just providing information.
