This Claude for Google Workspace add-on is currently in public beta and available to all paid Claude users via the Google Workspace marketplace. A sidebar opens alongside files in Docs, Sheets, and Slides, assisting users in constructing documents, making edits, and more. In Docs, Claude can help with spelling corrections, rewriting document portions, and restyling sections without disrupting existing formatting. For Sheets, Claude can compose formulas or construct tables using the document's context, or even upload additional documents/spreadsheets to create something new. In Slides, Claude can generate new slides using existing layouts or themes, or flag elements that may need updating. A \"preview before edits\" mode is available for Claude to let users review changes before they're made. Claude also offers direct editing from within Google Workspace files by pasting a file link into a conversation with the AI.",
