Teams that run on Google Workspace can now bring Claude into their files or work on their files directly from Claude, with Claude’s new add-on and Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides connectors (in beta).
Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude.

Claude for Google Workspace
As officially announced, Claude for Google Workspace is now in public beta on all paid Claude plans. It adds Claude to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, so that you can work with Claude directly in your open files.
With the add-on, Claude opens in a sidebar next to your file, so you don’t need to switch between apps or browser tabs when you work. Claude can read the doc, sheet, or deck you have open, see which text, cells, or slides you have selected, and make changes directly in the file.
In the default “Ask before edits” mode, each change appears as an approval card with a summary, and Claude waits for your approval to make the edit. In “Accept all edits” mode, Claude works through the task and applies changes without stopping.
When you are signed in with your Claude account, the sidebar has the same models, connectors, and skills you use in Claude. On Enterprise plans, controls such as the Compliance API, customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK), and OpenTelemetry audit export apply to the add-on too.
Additionally, new Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides connectors are also released (beta) that Claude uses to create and edit Google files directly from Claude. Paste a Google file link or ask for a Google Doc, Sheet, or deck, and on supported setups it will open in a pane beside your conversation.
Availability
Claude for Google Workspace is in beta on all paid plans. Install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace, then open a file and go to Extensions> Claude> Open Claude.
Admins can deploy it to their domain or selected groups from the Google Admin console. To edit Google files from Claude, turn on the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides connectors. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner or primary owner needs to enable the connectors first.
