Claude Gains Integrations With Adobe, Blender, SketchUp and Other Creative Apps

[MacRumors]

Anthropic today updated Claude with new connectors aimed at creative professionals, adding integrations for Ableton, Adobe, Affinity, Autodesk Fusion, Blender, Resolume Arena and Wire, SketchUp, and Splice.

Connectors are tools that Claude can use to access other platforms and help with completing tasks. Anthropic says that Claude can open up new ways for creatives to work and take on larger-scale projects.

• Ableton - Allows users to ask questions about the official product documentation for Live and Push.
• Adobe - More than 50 tools across Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, Premiere, and Express are available.
• Affinity - The Affinity connector lets users automate repetitive production tasks and generate custom features.
• Autodesk Fusion - Fusion subscribers can create and modify 3D models through conversations with Claude.
• Blender - The Blender connector adds a natural-language interface for the Python API. Users can analyze and debug Blender scenes, build custom scripts to batch-apply changes to objects, and add new tools to the Blender interface. Blender's documentation is also available.
• Resolume Arena and Wire - Visual artists can control Arena, Avenue, and Wire in real time with natural language.
• SketchUp - Users can describe an idea to Claude as a starting point for a 3D model and then open it in SketchUp for further revision.
• Splice - Music producers can search Splice's catalog of royalty-free samples.

Anthropic suggests that Claude can be helpful for multiple creative tasks, offering tutoring for complex tools, writing scripts and plugins for software, translating formats and restructuring data, and completing repetitive production work.

Tested it, it seems way too rudimentary, good luck with that tho.

I'm kind of undecided if this is the beginning of great productivity boosts or offering the rope to hang oneself.

It's everyone hunting around for something that sticks so they can hopefully charge people.

The entire space is bleeding cash.

Yeah, let’s trust Claude.

An AI agent powered by Anthropic’s leading Claude model has deleted a company’s entire production database, leaving customers unable to access key data.

PocketOS, which provides software for car rental businesses, suffered a massive outage over the weekend after the autonomous artificial intelligence tool wiped the database and all backups in a matter of seconds.

Yep. I spent years mastering Adobe apps for design for motion and branding and sometimes I wonder. Luckily I was able to capitalized on most of it before the industry started to derail for many reasons like becoming mainstream, overseas labor, small budgets, contraction and now AI.

 

[TonyC28]

Fusion has me intrigued.

this right here was my exact thought as well having come across that first today. very much the final nail as to why I won't use any of them.

 

[Avenged110]

Why does it feel like every single time Anthropic rolls out a feature, there's an annoying outage to coincide with it?

 

[Kirkster]

I have been using Claud and Grok for 3D work into OpenSCAD for a while now. I wonder if this will be an improvement. Well I have to add some things to a design, will give it a whirl.

 

[svish]

Good to see this. Claude is improving every day and it is very nice to see this.

 

[ikramerica]

I want Son of Anton 3.0 or nothing.

 

[Astuces iOS]

Not a huge deal honestly !

 

[Trusteft]

Glad I don't use any of them.

I guess this Claude agentic guy is pro privacy 🫢 /s

The error meant that rental businesses using PocketOS no longer had records of their customers.

A few sentences later they mention that they managed to recover said deleted data, which makes more sense… I found it hard to believe that it would somehow also reach our and destroy all sorts of backup redundancies, including third party servers data (think AWS data services) and all of their physical archiving and stashing snapshot protocols.

The average user could get nuked with said actions though… if the AI somehow decides to delete everything and then goes and decides to erase all Time Machine drives or something too.
However, that last part, I believe it hard to do even by asking directly to do exactly that.

Yeah, You don't give Claude write access to the database, just like you might not give a junior programmer write access to the database. I have read-only access to my work database. So does Claude.
And make backups that the AI has no way to access.

Anyway, on the topic of the post, I much prefer when AI makes tools rather than directly creating audiovisual content.

I mean, I wouldn't put 'cut out an image in to a few layers for me' into the same bucket as 'have complete control of my production database and backups', but if you want to put those two things together, you do you...

 

[JTMG]

I like to see Affinity getting acknowledged and integrated from the start!

 

[JohannesO]

Affinity scripting with claude seems to rock.

Users just build features they’ve been missing.

(sadly I’m stuck with 3.0.3 without scripting for now)

The entire space is bleeding cash.

It’s utterly ****ed and has been for a year. Using a large undisclosed tier 1 investment company as an example. Their public ETF is all in on AI and their advice is buy AI. Their internal investments have all diversified away from it. They literally have been using the buzz and hype to keep the market fluid enough so they can diversify.

There is no possible price point for any LLM service where existing costs can be paid off through ROI. There is no user appetite to pay that. Their only option is getting government bail outs which isn’t going to happen.

Don’t rely on any of this for your business or to be around in 5 years.

[RandalGraves]

ChatGPT and Gemini have both had this functionality for awhile. Who cares.

 

[Tenkaykev]

I know of at least one UK bank who have introduced this in a bid to streamline risk assessment. This has resulted in a vastly more complicated and therefore riskier process but the suits at the top having committed to " AI" are keen to push it through in order to save face and cover their arses about the significant expenditure. 😮

I mean to be fair, there have been many an instance of people deleting "important" things too... Whether by accident or on purpose... Sounds to me like they didn't have a good or proper way of testing this out and someone was careless in their implementation of it. I don't know if I would blame the AI agent on this... Someone had to do the configuring and installation.

Productivity boosts are a never ending story. A fallacy really in any job environment where there is employer and employee: “good job, you were smart about it and figured out how to do your work more efficiently, as a reward > here’s more work!”

Ad infinitum.
