On October 6, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude for Google Workspace as a public beta on all paid Claude plans. The company described the product in its announcement on the Claude blog as an add-on sidebar in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.

What the beta included

A sidebar add-on in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, available on all paid Claude plans.
Google Workspace connectors, also released in beta.
In Sheets, Claude could work with formulas, pivot tables, charts and Python.
In Slides, Claude created slides from the deck's own layouts and themes. It could check its work and flag elements that overlap, run off the slide, or contain text that is hard to read.
In the default Ask before edits mode, each change appeared as an approval card and Claude waited for approval. In Accept all edits mode, Claude applied changes without stopping.

What it meant for people who build with AI

Teams that worked in Google Workspace could use Claude inside their documents, with the approval card as the default safety step. Because the default was Ask before edits, every change passed through a person before it was applied, and teams that wanted fewer interruptions could choose Accept all edits.
