Claude Gets Orbit

Anthropic is reportedly getting ready to launch Orbit, a proactive briefing feature for Claude that pulls insights from your work apps and delivers time zone aware, actionable summaries.

- Proactive briefings instead of reactive chat, less tab hopping

- Opt-in setup, time zone aware delivery, feels like it is designed for real daily routines

- Connectors like Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Calendar, Drive, and Figma, basically the modern knowledge work stack

- Mentions of “Orbit apps” you can pin, hints at a mini dashboard experience inside Claude Cowork

- Spanning both Claude and Claude Code, so summaries could include code and project context, not just email and meetings

- Fits the bigger trend: OpenAI has Pulse, and similar digest features are showing up in Gemini and Perplexity, so proactive assistants are quickly becoming table stakes

- The interesting twist is GitHub plus Figma, which screams developer and creative workflows, not just inbox management
