Claude for Google Workspace — AI in Docs, Sheets and Slides

Announced October 6, 2026, Claude for Google Workspace is now in public beta on all paid Claude plans. The Google Workspace Marketplace add-on places Claude in a sidebar inside Docs, Sheets and Slides, where it can read the open file, see selected text, cells or slides, and edit in place.

Default “Ask before edits” mode presents each change as an approval card. “Accept all edits” applies changes without stopping.

In Sheets, Claude can write formulas, build pivot tables and native charts, run Python on a range, and write results back. In Slides, it builds from the deck’s own layouts and themes, then checks for overlapping or unreadable elements.

Separate beta connectors let Claude create and edit Google files directly from a Claude conversation.

Plans and install: No separate pricing was announced; access is bundled with paid plans. Install it from Google Workspace Marketplace, or deploy it domain-wide as an administrator.

Best for teams living in Google Workspace that want AI help without switching tabs.
