People have hard questions about AI and work: which jobs will change, which tasks are being automated, and what it means for their own field. The Anthropic Economic Index：https://www.anthropic.com/economic-index exists to help answer them with real data. Today we're launching the Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude, which lets anyone explore that data directly.
The Anthropic Economic Index measures how AI is actually being used in the economy. The Index’s data has been useful to researchers, journalists, and policymakers, but we want it to be just as accessible to anyone curious about how AI fits into their field or day-to-day life. Now you can ask Claude questions like:
You’ll get answers grounded directly in the Index data.
Getting started takes about a minute. In claude.ai, open the connectors menu, find the Anthropic Economic Index in the directory, and enable it—it works in any conversation with any Claude model, and there's nothing to install. From there, just ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague: start broad (“What does the Index say about my industry?”), then drill into specifics, and ask Claude to show you the underlying data behind any answer.
As always, the Index reflects patterns in Claude usage rather than the labor market as a whole, and Claude will point you back to the source data and its limitations as you explore. You can find the connector in claude.ai today, and the full datasets remain freely available on our website.
We’re sharing the research agenda for the Anthropic Economic Futures Research Fund.
Anthropic is contributing an additional $20 million to Public First Action, bringing our total support to $40 million.
Anthropic is sharing a focused call for AI for Science applications centered specifically on rare genetic diseases. Accepted applicants will receive up to $50,000 in Claude credits over six months, with the goal of building a community of researchers looking into how AI can reshape our understanding of rare disease.
