According to God of Prompt on X, Anthropic has made Claude’s skills, connectors, and file creation available to free users, with no ads, raising competitive pressure on ChatGPT’s free tier. According to Claude’s official X account, these previously paywalled features now enable workflow automation (skills), enterprise data access via integrations (connectors), and in-app artifact and file creation without a subscription. As reported by the posts, this shift lowers onboarding friction for teams testing LLM-assisted automation, improves bring-your-own-data use cases, and could accelerate adoption in SMBs seeking cost-effective AI copilots.

According to Greg Brockman on Twitter, the introduction of connectors and persistent conversations in the Responses API enables businesses to seamlessly integrate diverse data sources and maintain contextual, ongoing dialogues with users (source: Greg Brockman, Twitter). This development significantly improves AI-powered customer support and workflow automation by allowing persistent state management and multi-platform interaction. Companies leveraging the Responses API can now create more robust conversational AI applications, leading to enhanced customer engagement, operational efficiency, and new AI-driven business opportunities.
