PicPay announces integration with Claude, expanding customer access to financial information through generative AI. PicPay continues to accelerate its AI strategy, building on the recent introduction of the company's ChatGPT plugin to simplify how customers manage their financial lives. SÃO PAULO, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - PicPay, one of Brazil's largest digital banks, today announced an integration with Claude from Anthropic, available to its customers, expanding its presence in the generative artificial intelligence ecosystem. The initiative, which follows the recent launch of PicPay's plugin on ChatGPT, from OpenAI, advances the company's strategy to bring conversational financial information closer to customers. Through the integration, customers can check financial information directly in Claude by using natural-language commands after securely authenticating in the PicPay environment. The feature will be rolled out gradually through an early-access list for customers. It is free of charge and available to Android and iOS users. Customers who already use the PicPay plugin on ChatGPT are also enabled to use the feature on Claude, which is available regardless of the user's Claude subscription tier. Similar to PicPay's integration with ChatGPT, the experience is focused on financial inquiries and monitoring. Claude offers two new capabilities that will soon also be available through the OpenAI plugin: checking credit card statement balances and viewing completed credit card transactions. During the initial rollout, the integration is dedicated to inquiries and financial monitoring and does not support transactions or other financial operations through the platform. "As many of our customers take advantage of the leading generative AI platforms in their daily lives, we are focused on connecting PicPay with these ecosystems to create a more seamless financial experience," said Eduardo Chedid, CEO of PicPay. "PicPay has always placed innovation at the center of our growth strategy, as we capitalize on opportunities where technology can help us operate more efficiently and deliver even better service for customers. Our strong standards for customer data protection will continue to underpin the innovative products we bring to market." To connect their PicPay account to Claude, customers simply search for PicPay under the "Connectors" tab and follow the authentication steps. Available features include: * Checking account and savings pot balances * Viewing outstanding bills * Checking investments * Viewing active cards * Accessing favorite Pix contacts * Checking recent transactions * Viewing upcoming transactions * Checking credit card statement balances * Viewing completed credit card transactions Customers can ask questions such as: * "What is my available balance?" * "What is my credit card statement balance this month?" * "What were my most recent credit card transactions?" * "Do I have any bills due this week?" The Claude integration uses the same security layers as the PicPay app, including facial biometric authentication. To connect their account, customers are directed to PicPay's online banking login, so they do not need to have the app installed. All data exchanges follow PicPay's security standards, with data processed in accordance with applicable law and the company's privacy policies. About PicPay PicPay is one of Brazil's largest digital banks by number of customers. The company operates a two-sided ecosystem that connects consumers and businesses. PicPay offers a broad range of financial products and services, including a digital wallet, credit cards, loans, investments and insurance, for both individuals and businesses.

Amadeus taps Anthropic to put travel content inside AI coding tools - unite.ai. Amadeus said on September 3, 2026 that it is collaborating with Anthropic to make its travel content, connectivity, documentation and authentication available inside AI-enabled development environments, and to bring selected Amadeus applications into a plugin for Anthropic's Claude Cowork aimed at travel professionals. The collaboration, described in an Amadeus blog post by Luc Viguie, the company's director of strategic partnerships, targets two user groups: developers building travel applications and the travel professionals who use Amadeus tools in their daily work. Viguie wrote that travel technology has been designed for decades around specialists navigating screens, reading documentation, using workflows and completing tasks, and that the model is evolving as AI assistants and agents support more tasks, from writing code to running processes and preparing analysis. "This creates an opportunity to rethink how travel technology, content and services can be accessed and used in more AI-native workflows," he wrote. A toolkit for ai-enabled development environments. According to the post, developers are already changing how they work, using agentic coding tools such as Claude Code to describe what they want to build and to help write, test and assemble applications. Amadeus said it is working to make its connectivity, documentation, authentication and travel content available through a single toolkit for AI-enabled development environments. The stated ambition is to make it easier for developers and their AI coding assistants to reach the resources they need, reducing time spent navigating portals, reference guides and integration requirements. The company described the toolkit as a natural evolution from the traditional developer portal. It is intended to give Claude Code users access to what Amadeus characterized as reliable, real-time travel content directly within their development environment, using natural language to discover capabilities, build prototypes and accelerate application development. Access will start with flight and destination content, the post said. A Claude Cowork plugin for travel professionals. The second track of the collaboration concerns travel professionals. Amadeus said agentic tools such as Claude Cowork create new ways to work faster and support more informed decisions, and that it is working to make its skills and connectivity available through a Claude Cowork plugin, bringing selected Amadeus applications closer to where users work. The company described this as an open approach in which trusted travel intelligence is accessed through the tools and environments people choose, rather than requiring users to move between closed systems. "The objective is to go beyond surfacing data, enabling users to access information, conduct research, draft content, analyze data and take action across Amadeus systems in plain language, within broader AI-powered workflows," the company wrote. Amadeus said it is opening these capabilities in a controlled way so that travel professionals can benefit from AI while decisions, safeguards and oversight remain in the hands of users and their organizations. The controlled-rollout language aligns with the governance framework the company publishes through its AI Trust Center, which describes an Amadeus AI Policy intended to guide ethical, secure and legally compliant AI use across all functions worldwide and to meet obligations under the EU AI Act, the European Union's legislative framework for regulating AI systems. That page lists an AI Office driving execution of the company's AI strategy, an AI Compliance Program, an AI Center of Excellence and a cross-functional AI Advisory Board, along with ethics principles covering human oversight, reliability and safety, privacy and security, transparency, accountability and sustainability. Amadeus also states there that it is a signatory of the AI Pact, a European Commission initiative under which companies voluntarily commit to implement key provisions of the EU AI Act ahead of its full application. Enterprise pilot and platform context. Amadeus said the work builds on real-world experimentation, reporting that it recently completed a successful Claude Enterprise pilot inside the company and that assessments of future deployment options are ongoing. The initiatives form part of what the company described as its strategic response to a broader shift in how people build and use software as AI agents become more capable. The company has previously set out the platform context for that response. In a March 23, 2026 post, Maria Plaza, head of the Amadeus AI Office, wrote that Amadeus has served as a system of record for the travel industry for almost forty years, providing a single source of truth across millions of data points a day, from offers, orders and passenger name records to routes, schedules, fares and availability. Plaza wrote that the company's technology is deeply integrated, connecting hundreds of systems, products and workflows, and that Amadeus processes up to 150,000 transactions per second at peak times while powering millions of searches and bookings every day. She also pointed to partnerships with Microsoft and Google Cloud, and to the company's acquisition of SkyLink, an AI-first company specializing in orchestration and conversational automation, as elements of its AI strategy. In the Anthropic announcement, Viguie pointed to the same foundation, writing that the company's status as a system-of-record for travel, its deep integration across the industry, its global production scale and its responsible AI approach, which he said is backed by governance and strategic partnerships, position it to help the industry embrace AI agents. Amadeus has opened a waitlist for the developer toolkit and said those who join will be notified as soon as the solution becomes available.

Anthropic's Claude Content Checker tool is now available - here's how to use the detector. Anthropic's Claude detector tool is here. Anthropic has released a free tool that lets anyone check whether a file was made using Claude, giving users a straightforward way to verify AI involvement in a piece of content. The tool arrives as part of a broader industry push toward transparency around AI-generated material, though it comes with a fairly significant limitation worth understanding before relying on it. Anthropic releases Content Checker tool. The Content Checker is available now through Claude's website, letting anyone upload a file to see whether Anthropic's AI was involved in creating it. According to Anthropic, the tool runs in your browser, meaning a user's file never leaves your device during the checking process and stays local rather than being uploaded to Anthropic's servers. The tool works by reading what Anthropic calls a content credential, described as "signed provenance metadata that is attached when you download, for example, a chart Claude created." When Claude produces a supported file type, it automatically attaches this credential as a small, cryptographically signed note embedded directly in the file's metadata, confirming the file was made or processed using Claude. Claude AI generation detector features. The biggest catch tied to this tool is what it actually confirms and what it does not. Anthropic states plainly that the checker "identifies only the content credential," and that it "can't tell whether Claude was involved in creating the content." In other words, the tool verifies that a specific technical marker exists in a file, rather than analyzing the actual substance of the file to determine whether AI was used to generate it. That distinction matters for anyone hoping to use the tool as a general AI detector. Since the checker only reads an embedded credential rather than scanning content itself, a file with the metadata stripped, converted, or otherwise altered could pass through undetected even if Claude was originally involved. Anthropic also notes the tool "does not include any identifying information about the user," meaning it cannot reveal who created a flagged file, only that Claude was involved in producing it at some point. How to use the Content Checker tool. Using the tool is straightforward. Anthropic's Content Checker supports a wide range of image formats, including PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF, SVG, and GIF, along with video and music files, with individual files supported up to 100MB in size. Users simply need to upload a file directly through the browser-based interface, and Anthropic's tool checks it automatically without requiring any additional setup or account sign-in. This checker functions differently from Anthropic's separate text watermarking system, which embeds invisible marks into Claude-generated text rather than file metadata. According to Anthropic's help documentation, that text-based watermark detection remains in "private preview." It is currently limited to eligible organizations required to verify Claude's compliance under the EU AI Act, including regulators, law enforcement, fact-checkers, and certain enterprises. Anthropic has said it plans to expand access to that separate detection system over time, though for now, the newly released Content Checker remains the company's only publicly available tool for verifying whether a specific file passed through Claude.
