Claude can now access your Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides with minimal effort

Anthropic has announced an expansion of its Claude AI-powered services into Google Workspace. This allows users to work with the AI chatbot on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The new feature, called Claude for Google Workspace, has been released in public beta for all paid Claude plans.

With Claude for Google Workspace, users can access Claude by opening a sidebar next to their Google file, eliminating the need to constantly switch between apps or browser tabs. Claude can read the Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide that is open, see which text, cells, or slides have been selected, and make changes directly in the file.

In Google Docs, Claude can fix sentences, restyle headings, propose edits, generate executive summaries, and create tables. In Google Sheets, Claude can write formulas, build pivot tables and charts, and add new tabs.

In Google Slides, Claude can build new slides using existing layouts or themes. According to 9to5Google, Claude can also flag elements that might need to be updated. Users can choose between two modes: "Ask before edits" which requires approval for each change, or another mode that allows Claude to complete tasks without stopping for confirmation. The Claude for Google Workspace beta is available to all paid Claude users through the Google Workspace marketplace.
