A connector allows querying the Anthropic Economic Index from Claude

The Anthropic Economic Index can now be explored using natural language. What this connector reveals about task automation in your industry.

Built from Claude's usage patterns, the Anthropic Economic Index measures how AI is actually employed in the economy. Anthropic has added a connector for Claude, which allows users to query this data in natural language rather than browsing through raw datasets.

Until now primarily used by researchers and journalists, the index is now accessible to anyone curious about the role of AI in their sector. For example, users can ask the model which professions use AI the most, how the tool is used in a given US state, or what types of tasks are being automated and how this has evolved over a year. The answers are based on the index's data.

Activation is done from the claude.ai connector directory, with no installation required, and works in any conversation with any Claude model.

Anthropic points out one limitation: the index reflects Claude's usage patterns, not the labor market as a whole. Furthermore, the model refers back to the source data and its limitations as questions are asked, with the full datasets remaining freely accessible on the company's website.
