Connectors enable Claude to attach itself to other apps, and there are a lot of them, including Spotify, Canva, Tripadvisor, and Uber. You can add a new connector to Claude by clicking on the + (plus) button in the lower left corner of the prompt box, then choosing Connectors > Add connector.
The Gmail connector is particularly useful. If you give Claude permission to access your inbox, the AI can carry out tasks like summarizing your daily messages, or identifying emails that need responding to. You could try "which email sender do I leave unread the most in my Gmail account?" for example, or "find emails in Gmail over the last 30 days that look as if they needed a response."
Use Claude to create interactive visualizations to boost learning

You'll get a simple animation in return showing how sound waves work, and sliders for adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the sound waves so you can see the differences it makes.
A little prompt hacking can help here. If you're searching the web, specify that Claude should focus mainly on the most up-to-date information, from the most reputable website publishers (you can specify these, if you want). Adding a note to avoid rumor and speculation is also a good idea, and should mean Claude's responses are more reliable. Claude will embed web links in its answers for reference, so you can check if it did what it was told to.
Specify styles to customize Claude's responses
Pick your preferred style. Credit: LifehackerSkills are another feature in Claude that can make a substantial difference to how much you get out of the AI. They're essentially sets of instructions that you can call on when needed—saving you from having to type out the instructions each time.
Skills can be quite advanced and involve coding, but the easiest way to get started is to click the + button in the prompt box, then choose Skills > Add skill. You'll see there's actually a skill creator you can use, which lets you build skills through natural language prompts.

Use Claude to create an Excel file to help you with monthly budgeting
Claude can create entire files in just a few minutes. Credit: LifehackerClaude has a browser extension that you can install in Chrome or any Chromium-based browser (such as Microsoft Edge). You can then give it tasks for navigating websites, filling out forms, extracting data, and so on. The add-on will ask for approval for major actions, like making a purchase, and you can get it to ask for approval for every action by selecting Ask before acting in the prompt box that pops up when you launch the extension.
There's a lot the Claude extension can do. One helpful task the bot can carry out is looking at a list of hotels on a website and deciding which is the best fit for you, based on the criteria you give it (price, what the AI already knows about you, and any other information you want to add).
Switch to incognito mode to chat with Claude privately
Go incognito and Claude will forget who you are. Credit: LifehackerSometimes you might not want your chats with Claude to be on the record, to remove any trace of them existing, and to stop Claude from referring back to them in the future. When you start a new chat, click the little ghost icon up in the top right corner to go incognito. To go back to normal, click the X in the top right corner. Your incognito chats are not used for training, but are retained by Anthropic for 30 days before being deleted.
