Claude launches Google Docs, Sheets and Slides add-on in public beta
AI summary
Anthropic said on October 6 that Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets and Slides as a public beta, available on all paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise). A sidebar lets Claude read the open file and edit, restyle or build content in place, while separate Docs/Sheets/Slides connectors let users create or edit files from a Claude conversation; file access still follows existing Google sharing permissions. The sidebar defaults to an “ask before edits” mode that presents changes for approval, with an “accept all edits” option.
In-depth insight
It puts Claude inside Google's own document workflows, competing directly with Gemini over the same files.
