Claude for Google Workspace opens in public beta on all paid plans

Anthropic released Claude for Google Workspace, an add-on that opens Claude in a sidebar in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. It is in public beta on all paid Claude plans. Anthropic also released Google Docs, Sheets and Slides connectors (beta) so that Claude can create and edit Google files from a chat.

Anthropic says the add-on can:

• Docs: fix a sentence or restyle a heading in place, or propose bigger rewrites as suggestion cards that can be applied or dismissed.
• Sheets: write formulas, build pivot tables and native charts, add tabs, and pull a range into Python for joins or cleaning, then write the results back.
• Slides: build slides from the deck's layouts and themes, then check for overlapping or overflowing elements and hard-to-read text.

In the default "Ask before edits" mode each change waits for approval; "Accept all edits" mode applies changes without stopping. The sidebar uses the same models, connectors and skills as the user's Claude account. On Enterprise plans the Compliance API, customer-managed encryption keys and OpenTelemetry audit export apply to the add-on. Claude's access follows existing Google sharing permissions.

The add-on is installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace (Extensions > Claude > Open Claude), and admins can deploy it to a domain or groups from the Google Admin console. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner must enable the connectors first.
