Anthropic has introduced Orbit, a proactive AI assistant, at the Code with Claude conference in San Francisco. Orbit is designed to autonomously gather and analyze data from platforms like Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, providing users with personalized daily briefings. This marks a significant shift from passive prompts to active notifications, enhancing productivity for developers and creative professionals. Orbit's debut follows the rapid development of Anthropic's Claude Cowork, which evolved from research preview to enterprise version in just four months. The assistant's integration with tools like GitHub and Figma differentiates it from competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT Pulse and Google's Gemini, targeting a broader range of users beyond executives. Orbit's launch is seen as a strategic move in Anthropic's ongoing expansion, supported by a recent $30 billion funding round.
