Anthropic has launched new features for its AI chatbot Claude, including Application Integrations and Advanced Research capabilities.
These features are initially available to subscription users and aim to enhance the practicality of Claude.

The "Application Integrations" feature supports integration with partner applications such as Atlassian and Zapier via the MCP protocol.
"Advanced Research" can search hundreds of internal and external data sources to generate in-depth reports with citations, taking about 5 to 45 minutes.
This move is an important measure by Anthropic to compete with rivals like Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT.
Anthropic has also increased the rate limits for Max users using its AI programming tool Claude Code.
