Anthropic integrates Claude into Google Workspace

AI1 min read

In brief

Anthropic has launched Claude for Google Workspace, an add-on that brings Claude directly into Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, now in public beta. Users on paid Claude plans can install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace. The add-on runs in a sidebar next to the file and includes a mode to review changes before they are applied.

  • Sidebar interface inside Docs, Sheets and Slides
  • Docs: proofreading, rewriting and restyling while preserving formatting
  • Sheets: context-aware formula writing and table creation
  • Slides: generating new slides using existing layouts and themes
  • Preview changes before applying with "ask before edits" mode
  • Edit files by pasting their link into Claude chat

Moving into Google's apps

Anthropic has released Claude for Google Workspace, an add-on that integrates Claude directly into Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. It is currently in public beta and available only to users on paid Claude plans. Installation is done through the Google Workspace Marketplace.

How it works

The add-on runs in a sidebar next to the file, letting users give Claude instructions in the context of the document:

  • Docs: Fix typos, rewrite sections and change styles while preserving existing formatting.
  • Sheets: Write formulas and build tables based on the file's context; upload additional documents or spreadsheets to generate new content.
  • Slides: Create new slides using existing layouts and themes, and flag elements that may need updating.

The add-on also includes an "ask before edits" mode, so users can review Claude's changes before they are applied.

Link support added

Anthropic is also rolling out new Claude connectors for Docs, Sheets and Slides. Users can paste a Google Workspace file link into a Claude chat and edit the file directly through Claude.

Why it matters

The move places Claude right inside Workspace apps, alongside Google's own AI assistant Gemini. The competition between the two assistants is now playing out inside users' everyday workflows.

Why it matters

If you use Google Workspace and have a paid Claude plan, this add-on lets you hand everyday document work directly to Claude. It's a practical way to try an alternative assistant inside Google's apps alongside Gemini.
