Anthropic introduces a groundbreaking feature for its AI chatbot Claude, enabling users to create customized assistants for tasks ranging from email management to shopping for shoes. This innovation, dubbed “tool use” or “function calling,” leverages external APIs to offer personalized solutions, such as product recommendations based on purchase history or real-time customer support.
