Anthropic has added a new extension to its Claude chatbot that lets users interact with popular productivity apps—such as Slack, Canva, Asana, and Figma—directly inside the chat interface. Powered by the open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP), the integration moves beyond simple text replies, offering visual, interactive experiences that let users draft messages, build presentations, and manage projects without leaving the AI conversation. The move signals a shift toward AI platforms functioning more like operating systems, and the MCP framework is being positioned for broader adoption across other AI products. Leer más →

OpenAI has rolled out a suite of new app integrations for ChatGPT, allowing users to connect accounts from services such as Spotify, Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, and Zillow. By linking these accounts, users can ask ChatGPT to perform tasks like creating playlists, searching for hotels, designing graphics, finding online courses, planning trips, generating diagrams, and locating homes—all within the chat interface. The company notes that connections share data with the model, prompting users to review permissions, and offers a simple way to disconnect apps. Additional partners—including DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, Uber, and Walmart—are slated to join later, with the rollout currently limited to the United States and Canada. Leer más →

Figma has unveiled updates that let artificial‑intelligence models interact directly with its design platform.

The expansion supports tools from Anthropic, Cursor, Windsurf and Visual Studio Code, and enables remote access from AI coding assistants, browser‑based models and integrated development environments. Upcoming features include a Design Snapshot that turns Make snapshots into editable layers and an AI‑prompt editing mode currently in testing. Leer más →
