Claude is getting a pair of new tools today: Docs and Slides. They\u2019ll let you create documents and presentations through Claude chats, which you can export, edit, and share with other users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As part of the announcement, Anthropic is also simplifying how Claude chats work, merging regular chats and Cowork into \u201cone Claude,\u201d with all of its AI productivity tools available from any chat. Artifacts and Claude Design capabilities will be available through the new single interface as well. According to Anthropic, Claude \u201ccan now figure out what a task needs, so what Cowork and Design can do is available from any conversation, with the context, skills, and connectors you already have.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Claude Docs and Slides are launching in beta, joining Claude Design as part of the AI platform\u2019s productivity tools. You can have Claude generate documents and presentations from any chat. You can ask Claude to make changes to whatever it creates, or make edits manually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Like Google Docs, Claude Docs start as private documents, but you can share them with other editors who can work on the document at the same time as you. Collaborators, including Claude, can leave comments that look like those on a Google Doc. Anthropic says \u201cAnything you make with Claude Design, Slides, or Docs lives at one shareable link you can open on your phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Anthropic\u2019s models are generally seen as more advanced than Google\u2019s, but Google\u2019s AI services have the advantage of being natively tied into its suite of productivity tools. Earlier this year, Google expanded Gemini\u2019s role in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides with features like a Gemini chat window in Docs, generating and editing entire documents with Gemini, and creating slides with Gemini. The addition of Docs and Slides to Claude starts to close the gap between Anthropic\u2019s AI platform and Google\u2019s productivity tools, giving users fewer reasons to leave a Claude chat for other tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The \u201cone Claude\u201d update is rolling out first to Pro and Max users on web, desktop, and mobile \u201cover the next few weeks,\u201d with access for Team and Free users coming later. Anthropic says there\u2019s \u201cnothing to turn on\u201d for the update, and users can also keep using Claude chat normally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
