    Claude wants to use your Absurd account

    claude.ai

    You’ll go back to claude.ai when you allow it. Its details come from claude.ai.

    It will be able to:

    • See the projects and canvases you can open, and look at their pictures and videos
    • Add, move and rename things on canvases you can edit, and upload files to them
    • Make images and videos on canvases you can edit, billed to your plan

    It acts as you, so it only reaches what you can. You can disconnect it any time in Settings → Connected apps.
