Hub testing in Claude adds a switch-back feedback prompt

Anthropic continues to test an internal Hub mode in Claude, and the current build asks for feedback whenever a user switches back to a normal chat. A post on Threads describes Hub as presumably a task orchestrator, and the feature has not been announced publicly.

At a glance

• Hub sits next to a planet icon in Claude's mobile app, where a similar icon had earlier appeared under the name Orbit before it was removed, according to TestingCatalog.
• According to TestingCatalog, the description shown for the mode says it will apply to new tasks and that users have to restart the application after switching it on.
• The same build moves the Connected Devices option directly into a tool widget, a change presented as making it more accessible, and Hub itself remains unannounced by Anthropic.

The feedback prompt on switching back suggests Anthropic is still measuring Hub against ordinary chat rather than treating the design as settled, which reads as a cautious posture for a feature already carrying a name and an icon slot. Whether the orchestrator framing extends to anything outside a single conversation is not established by the material available, and the Connected Devices move in the same build does not settle it either.

Hub Mode appears in Claude's mobile app and is marked as internal. TestingCatalog previously reported the mode in connection with sub-agents, and the current build keeps that orchestrator framing while adding a feedback step when a user leaves Hub for a standard conversation.

The mode sits next to a planet icon in the interface. That icon is not new: a similar one appeared earlier in Claude under the name Orbit, according to TestingCatalog, and was removed before the Hub label showed up in the current internal build.

According to TestingCatalog, the description shown for the mode states that it will apply to new tasks and that the app has to be restarted after the mode is activated. Both conditions apply to the internal build described, not to a shipping version of Claude.

The latest build also moves the Connected Devices option directly into a tool widget, a change described as making the option more accessible. Connected Devices and Hub appear in the same internal version of the app rather than in separate builds.

Whether Hub leaves internal builds

Anthropic has not announced Hub, and no timeline for a broad release has been given. The description reported by TestingCatalog covers activation behaviour only, with no detail on what a task in Hub consists of or which plans would get it. The mode stays inside internal builds in the version described.
