Claude launches Docs and Slides to rival Google's AI tools

Anthropic's AI assistant now lets you create and edit documents and presentations directly from chats.

In brief

Anthropic's AI assistant now lets you create and edit documents and presentations directly from chats. Claude now offers document and presentation creation tools that compete directly with Google's Gemini-powered productivity suite. Originally reported by The Verge.

Claude gets Docs and Slides

Claude Docs

You can now create documents and presentations through Claude chats. Export, edit, and share them with other users.

One unified Claude interface

Anthropic is merging regular chats and Cowork into a single interface. All AI productivity tools are now available from any chat.

“can now figure out what a task needs, so what Cowork and Design can do is available from any conversation”

Real-time collaboration built in

Claude Docs work like Google Docs with private documents you can share. Multiple editors can work simultaneously and leave comments.

“Anything you make with Claude Design, Slides, or Docs lives at one shareable link you can open on your phone.”

Closing the gap with Google

Google already integrated Gemini into Docs, Sheets, and Slides earlier this year. Claude's new tools give users fewer reasons to leave for other platforms.

Rolling out to Pro users first

The update hits Pro and Max users on web, desktop, and mobile over the next few weeks. Team and Free users get access later.

The takeaway

Claude now offers document and presentation creation tools that compete directly with Google's Gemini-powered productivity suite.
