Claude can now send out Gmail messages without human approval

Anthropic's AI, Claude, has gained the ability to send emails from Gmail without human approval. According to Android Police, Claude has been integrated with Google Workspace for over a year, but now it can draft and send messages on its own. TechRadar reports that users can ask Claude to reply to a thread, and it will draft and send the response.

The feature is available only on paid Claude plans, and approval is the default setting, although users can choose to allow Claude to send emails without confirmation. According to Digital Trends, users can also choose to have Claude forward emails, expanding its capabilities beyond simple replies.

Claude's integration with Google Drive has also been strengthened, allowing it to manage files, although Anthropic has stated that it will not train its AI on user files. The updates were announced by Anthropic on X, and are now live.
