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 OpenAI on Twitter, the Codex app allows users to multitask by working with multiple agents in parallel, keeping changes isolated using worktrees. The app also lets users create and use skills by packaging tools and conventions into reusable capabilities. Additionally, Codex supports setting up automations to delegate repetitive tasks, streamlining workflow and increasing productivity. As reported by OpenAI, these features highlight the app's focus on practical applications and business efficiency in AI-driven environments.

According to Claude (@claudeai) on Twitter, Claude now allows free plan users to create and edit files, expanding its practical capabilities for document management and workflow automation. The update also introduces skills and compaction to the free tier, enabling users to perform more complex and sustained tasks. Free users can now turn conversations directly into Excel spreadsheets, documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and PDFs, streamlining productivity and business operations. This move is expected to lower barriers for individuals and organizations seeking accessible AI-powered document solutions, as reported by Claude's official Twitter account.
