AI Product Updates: New Features and Releases

Anthropic is working through the waitlist to give more Pro and Max users access to Projects, while migration of data from the old Projects is still in progress.

The Parallel Search MCP Server is now in the Azure AI Foundry tool catalog and can be registered directly at ai.azure.com.

Parallel Search's MCP service is now in Microsoft Foundry, adding web search and page content extraction to any model, free by default with optional paid auth to raise rate limits.

Crypto trading agent platform Orus shipped a Chinese interface, Solana chain support, light/dark themes, vaults in private beta, and improved filters and strategy duplication.

PrivateDAO's agent exchange is now on GitHub Marketplace with 24 built-in agent services, offering free and paid services, verifiable receipts and MCP access.

Claude Code cloud sessions, which keep running after you close your computer, are now generally available, with Pro and Max members able to claim $100 or $250 in credits by October 8 after linking GitHub.

Almanac runs each task in its own sandbox, draws on specialist medical knowledge, and asks permission before acting, so doctors can hand off admin and research work.

A scheduled Meta Connect session shows Meta will announce a Business Agent Platform that lets businesses deploy agents to turn messaging threads into always-on sales and support channels.

An Anthropic team member says cloud sessions in Claude Code on the web and the Cloud option in Claude Desktop are more reliable after months of work, and Pro/Max users can get credits to try them.

Cloud sessions run on Anthropic's servers so work continues even when your computer is off, and can be started from the web, the Claude mobile app, the desktop app, or with claude --cloud in the CLI.

Cloud sessions are now generally available and keep Claude Code working even when your laptop is closed, with existing subscribers getting a one-time credit of $100 on Pro and $250 on Max.

Chatbase released an Agent Connector that lets Claude or Codex pull support conversations and tickets, flag escalations, draft and send replies, and summarize top issues and feature requests.
