Claude can now be plugged into Ableton to assist with your music projectsClaude – the AI assistant and chatbot from Anthropic – can now be directly plugged into Ableton, as well as a raft of other creative platforms, including Blender and Photoshop.
The move follows the launch of Claude Design, a new product by Anthropic Labs that lets you collaborate with Claude to create “polished visual work” like designs, one-pagers and more.
With the new set of connectors for Claude, the popular chatbot is able to plug into Ableton, and act as an AI assistant within your music projects. Anthropic says its partnership with a “coalition of partners” – which also includes Blender, Adobe (Photoshop and Premiere Pro) and Affinity by Canva.

Interestingly, Splice is also named in the list of brands integrating Claude into its products. It means producers can now search Splice’s catalogue of royalty-free samples directly within Claude.
According to a blog post on the Anthropic website, within these platforms, Claude can be used in a variety of ways. Users can ask Claude complex questions about the software, with the chatbot acting as a virtual tutor to help you better understand your workflow.
Elsewhere, Claude Code can write scripts, plugins, and generative systems for these platforms.
And perhaps most importantly for creatives, Claude can be used to take care of manual, repetitive tasks that get in the way of the creative process.
“Claude can’t replace taste or imagination, but it can open up new ways of working – faster and more ambitious ideation, a more expansive skillset, and the ability for creatives to take on larger-scale projects,” Anthropic says [via The Verge]. 
“AI can also help shoulder the parts of the creative process that eat up time by handling repetitive tasks and eliminating manual toil.”

Anthropic has also now become a Corporate Patron of the Blender Development Fund, helping the open-source platform to stay free, and to allow developers to “keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators”. Anthropic will give Blender €240,000 every year.
