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. Leia mais →

Major AI players including Anthropic, OpenAI and Block have joined forces with the Linux Foundation to launch the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF). The new nonprofit aims to establish common standards for AI agents, centering on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – dubbed a “USB‑C port for AI.” By creating a shared framework, the coalition hopes to simplify integration of AI models with data sources, accelerate interoperability, and spur broader adoption of agentic AI across products and services.

The Linux Foundation has created the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a neutral hub for open‑source AI‑agent projects. Anthropic, Block and OpenAI are anchoring the effort with donations of key technologies: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s Goose agent framework, and OpenAI’s AGENTS.md instruction file. The group aims to prevent a fragmented landscape of proprietary AI agents by fostering interoperability, shared safety patterns, and industry‑wide standards. Major members such as AWS, Bloomberg, Cloudflare and Google have joined, signaling broad support for an open, mix‑and‑match approach to AI‑agent development. Leia mais →
