Do I need a paid Claude plan?
Custom connectors are available on Claude’s paid plans. On the Assistant Labs side there is nothing extra to buy — connecting is included with your account.
Is this a plugin I have to install?
There are two ways in and you pick one. The plugin is the fuller one: you add it from Claude’s own Customize screen, and it brings the operator and all four connectors at once. The connector is the smaller one: you paste a single web address and sign in, with nothing downloaded and nothing running on your computer.
I installed the plugin, but Connectors is empty and it never asked me to sign in
Both are correct, and which you see depends on how you connected. Adding the address yourself puts Assistant Labs in your Connectors list like any other. The plugin instead carries the connection inside it, so it never appears in that list — and installing it only copies files, it does not touch your account. Either way the sign-in comes the first time the operator actually reaches for your data: open a new chat, type /al-setup, and it will ask.
Can Claude change things without asking me?
It can only do what you approved when you connected, and Claude shows you each action before it runs. If you connect with read-only permissions, it cannot change or send anything at all.
Does it work in Hebrew?
Yes. Your conversations are read as they were written, and you can ask your questions and get your answers in Hebrew.
What if I have more than one agent?
You choose which one the connection may reach when you approve it. If you leave several available, you can just tell Claude which agent you mean.
Can I use ChatGPT instead?
Yes — the same connectors work with ChatGPT and Codex. The Academy has a guide for that too.
Do I need the connector or the plugin?
The connector lets you ask your business questions from any Claude app, and takes two minutes. The plugin does that and makes Claude run the day: it knows how you talk, what you have decided, what it may do alone, and it reaches you on your phone when it needs a decision. Both work everywhere Claude does. Take the plugin unless you specifically want Claude to read your conversations and nothing more.
Will it message my customers without me?
No. Every message that reaches a customer stops for a specific yes, every time — and that is enforced outside the AI, not just written in its instructions. When you are away it does everything up to the send, then waits, with the finished text ready.
What if I am not at my computer?
It messages you on WhatsApp, from your own business number, with Approve and No buttons. Tapping Approve performs the action — it is not a note asking you to do something later.
What if I do not use WhatsApp?
Everything still works. Decisions wait for you on your board instead of on your phone, and the whole notification step is optional — skip it and setup is still complete.
How much does it cost?
Connecting is included with your account, and the plugin is free. Both run on your Assistant Labs workspace, which is free to start.
