The Rundown

What Changed

Up until now, using Claude with creative tools looked like this: you’d ask Claude a question, copy the answer, switch to your app, paste it in, do the work yourself. Claude was a very smart assistant sitting beside your desk.

With these connectors, Claude sits inside the tools.

With the example above, Claude took the reins and controlled Blender directly for me, creating a donut without me clicking anything.

A List of Connectors

Here’s some of the key connectors live now:

Adobe for Creativity — 50+ tools across Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Illustrator, Firefly, Express, InDesign, and Adobe Stock. The flagship of this whole launch. Free Adobe account unlocks the full suite; even without one you get ~40 tools.

Blender — Natural language access to Blender’s Python API. Analyse scenes, write scripts, batch-modify objects, add custom tools to the UI. For anyone doing 3D work or AI video, this is massive.

Autodesk Fusion — Create and edit 3D models through conversation. Full CAD via chat. Designers and engineers, this one’s for you.

Ableton — Claude grounded in official Live and Push documentation. Music producers can get real, accurate help inside their DAW without leaving it.
