Anthropic

J.Crew launched Style Advisor, an AI stylist on JCrew.com that lets customers shop by complete outfit rather than one product at a time. Online shopping usually handles a single item, so a customer who finds a sweater must search again for matching pants and shoes. Built by J.Crew's team with Claude Code and several Claude models, Style Advisor takes a described occasion and returns complete looks drawn from J.Crew's own photo shoots, shown as photos and open to further refinement; it is available now for women's and men's styles in the U.S.

Anthropic added a security center, inference hooks, centralized management and new access controls to Claude Enterprise, so security teams can see how their organization's configuration differs from Anthropic's recommended setup, send prompts and tool calls to existing data security tools for a check before they run, and manage identity and access from one place. The security center and centralized management remain in beta while inference hooks are generally available; the security center is guidance based on recommendations, not a certification or a guarantee of compliance.

Anthropic has opened message threads in public beta on the Claude Platform, letting agents send only what is new since the last turn instead of resending the whole conversation history. Previously a coding agent could make hundreds of requests in one session, each carrying every earlier message and tool result, and once a conversation reached hundreds of thousands of tokens that resend added time before Claude began responding. With message threads on by default for most Claude Code users, requests of 500k to 1M tokens see median time to first token drop by about 35%, while Claude still reads the full conversation each turn, so token usage stays the same.

Anthropic has merged Claude's chat and Cowork into a single Claude on web, desktop and mobile, now generally available for Claude Enterprise plans. Previously the two were separate experiences that had to be used and managed independently, so teams chose a tool before starting work. A conversation now begins as chat and continues in an Anthropic-managed cloud environment when a task needs code or files, so work keeps running after a laptop closes and can be resumed on any device.

Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent app built around Claude Opus 5.5. It carries over memory, skills and connected apps from a Claude account, sends a morning brief across those apps, and keeps working on tasks in a background virtual machine. Before sending a message, making a payment, signing a document or deleting anything, it shows the action and waits for approval; the preview starts with US Pro and Max users via a waitlist.

IDC has connected its Quanta technology-intelligence platform to Claude through an MCP connector, so a customer can describe a market, strategy or purchasing question in Claude and receive finished analysis built on IDC forecasts and data, with each answer citing the IDC document or dataset behind it. Previously, applying market research meant reading long reports to reach answers such as a vendor shortlist or a competitive brief. IDC has also deployed Claude across the company, where its engineers rebuilt an internal data repository in three weeks instead of an estimated three months.

Anthropic has made three admin features generally available for Claude Enterprise: smart reports sample a team's transcripts, group the work into workstreams and show each one's spend, deliverables and common friction points; in-app surveys collect members' own account of value; and pooled group budgets give a team one shared monthly budget while member limits remain a guardrail. All three shipped the same day, with availability varying by configuration, including HIPAA configurations and organizations using customer-managed encryption keys.

Anthropic released the Claude for Nonprofits plugin, a set of skills and connectors built with about 30 nonprofits, covering organization mapping, AI-policy checks and the fundraising cycle. Before this, what Anthropic offered nonprofits was price relief and data connections, and nonprofits said cost was only one barrier, the other two being too few people with AI skills and too few tools built for how nonprofits operate. Anthropic also plans to extend Claude Corps, its program placing early-career fellows in US nonprofits, through a partnership with Taproot.
