This development impacts how AI agents will be managed and integrated into workflows, allowing for more consistent and capable AI assistance.

Anthropic's Claude AI can now send, reply to, and forward emails within Gmail, expanding its integration with Google Workspace. This update allows Claude to perform email actions without requiring user approval for each send, though approval is the default setting.

ElevenLabs introduced a hosted MCP connector that allows Claude to directly manage and configure ElevenAgents voice agents, including modifying prompts, changing voices, and estimating LLM costs. This integration enables developers to control production voice agents from within Claude's chat interface, removing the need to use the ElevenLabs dashboard for these tasks.

A survey of 138 developers found that 75% use Claude Code, with 22% using both Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Developers cited Claude Code's integration into workflow, context handling for large codebases, and improved productivity as reasons for their preference. This preference highlights the importance of practical integration and performance in developer tool adoption.

Anthropic updated Claude's voice mode to support its more powerful models, Sonnet and Opus, and integrate with connected apps and services.
