plugins

Anthropic has released app connectors allowing Claude to integrate directly with personal services including Spotify, Uber, Uber Eats, Instacart, TurboTax, Audible, AllTrails, and TripAdvisor. The connectors are available now across all Claude plans, with mobile support in beta.

OpenAI's Codex Desktop can now control your computer, run background automations, and includes an in-app browser with click-to-select elements. The update adds automation memory across sessions and access to over 100 curated plugins, though the computer control feature is MacOS-only and unavailable in the EU.

OpenAI is introducing plugins for Codex that bundle skills, integrations, and connectors into shareable workflow packages. The move directly addresses Claude Code's lead among developers and positions Codex beyond coding into broader agentic work platforms. Over 20 plugins are currently available, including integrations with Figma, Notion, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive.
