Shutterstock shares climbed about 4.7% after the company announced a content connector for Anthropic’s Claude AI platform. Customers will be able to access Shutterstock’s library of images, video, music and sound effects directly through Claude and purchase licenses. The integration is intended to simplify creative use cases such as presentations and campaigns and opens up new AI-driven sales channels, which investors view as a positive signal after the company’s recent setbacks.
