Anthropic has launched nine new Claude connectors targeting professional creative workflows, with Adobe Creative Cloud and Blender taking centre stage. The Adobe connector provides access to more than fifty professional tools across the Creative Cloud suite directly from Claude's interface. Meanwhile, the Blender connector wraps a natural language interface around Blender's Python API, enabling users to control complex 3D operations through conversational commands. The Blender partnership extends beyond mere integration. Anthropic has joined the Blender Development Fund as a corporate patron, providing financial support to maintain the open-source 3D software that underpins its new connector. This marks a significant commitment to open-source 3D technology from a leading AI laboratory. Seven additional connectors complete the launch, covering Ableton and Splice for music production, Affinity for design work, SketchUp for 3D modelling, and Resolume for live visual performance. The comprehensive rollout represents Anthropic's strategic expansion beyond traditional coding tools into professional creative applications. This launch positions Claude as a central hub for creative professionals across multiple disciplines, from 3D animation and graphic design to music production and live performance. The combination of industry-standard Adobe tools with open-source Blender support suggests Anthropic is targeting both enterprise and independent creative markets.
