Claude arrives inside Google Docs, Sheets and Slides
Claude can now work beside an open Google Doc, Sheet or Slides deck. Anthropic has launched a Workspace add-on and file connectors in public beta on all paid Claude plans.
Review edits where the work already lives
The Workspace announcement describes a sidebar that reads the open file and the selected text, cells or slides. Claude can suggest document changes, write formulas and build native Sheets charts, or create slides using a deck’s existing layouts and themes.
