Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides (public beta)

If your invoices, pitch decks, and project notes already live in Google files, Anthropic's AI assistant Claude can now open in a sidebar beside the file you are working on. Anthropic says it can write spreadsheet formulas, build pivot tables (summaries that group and total your data) and charts, suggest document edits you apply or dismiss, and add slides that match your deck's theme. By default it runs in an "Ask before edits" mode, so each change waits for your approval. These capabilities are Anthropic's description of a beta, not tested results.

For

Detroit creatives and small business owners who already keep budgets, proposals, client decks, or planning documents in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides and pay for a Claude plan.

Cost

Anthropic says the add-on is in public beta on all paid Claude plans. The announcement does not state plan prices. A related Anthropic teaser dated Oct 8, 2026 says Claude's Docs, Slides, and Design features are on every plan, including Free, but it is unclear whether that covers this Google Workspace add-on, so confirm current plan terms before paying.

Access

Requires a paid Claude plan and a Google account that can install add-ons from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Admins can deploy it to a domain or selected groups from the Google Admin console. Separate Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides connectors, also in beta, let Claude create and edit Google files from the Claude chat; on Team and Enterprise plans, an owner or primary owner must enable those connectors first. Anthropic says Claude's access matches your existing Google sharing permissions. Enterprise controls such as the Compliance API apply to the add-on on Enterprise plans.
