This week Spotify introduced new AI features working within Anthropic's Claude application. However, Spotify is not the only service with the newly launched Claude integration.

Meanwhile, Anthropic upgraded two existing features this week, including the newly introduced Claude Code tool.

Claude connects with various services like Instacart, Audible, and Uber

In fact, Anthropic announced various new services working with Claude through the connection system. The full list now includes over 200 partners along with these new additions:

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

The company states that more is on the way in addition to these new connections. You can view the current Claude connection directory here.

Anthropic emphasizes that these services will be prioritized based on relevance when chatting with Claude, and there are no paid placements or sponsored responses.

“Claude is ad-free and will remain so,” says Anthropic. “There are no paid placements or sponsored responses in chats with Claude. If two connections can help, you will see the most useful one listed.”

Anthropic first introduced Claude's connection system in July 2025.

Claude Managed Agents gain built-in memory

Aside from connections, Anthropic added two significant features and improvements to Claude this week.

Firstly, the Managed Agents feature of Claude has become more capable with the addition of built-in memory.

“Your agents can now learn from each session, using an intelligence optimized memory layer that balances performance with flexibility,” says Anthropic. “Since memories are stored as files, developers can export them, manage them via API, and have full control over what the agents will remember.”

Anthropic introduced Claude Managed Agents earlier this month.

Claude Code now supports scheduling one-time tasks

Secondly, Anthropic now supports scheduling one-time tasks through the newly launched routines feature.

You can now schedule one-time tasks with the One-Time Trigger via CLI or Routines UI using /schedule.

Anthropic redesigned the Claude Code experience earlier this month. More recently, Anthropic released an upgraded version of the public Claude Opus model version 4.7.

Meanwhile, Claude Mythos continues to remain capable but is only available for select partners like Apple.
