Claude comes for Gemini with its own take on Docs and Slides

Anthropic has added Docs and Slides to Claude. You can now make and edit documents and presentations inside a Claude chat, then export or share them. The tools are in beta and join Claude Design as part of the platform's work features. Documents start private, but others can edit at the same time and leave comments. Anthropic is also merging regular chats and Cowork into ‘one Claude’, so every tool is available from any chat.

Google has had AI inside Docs, Sheets and Slides since earlier this year. Gemini can write whole documents and build slide decks. Anthropic's models are often seen as more advanced than Google's, but Google's tools sit inside software that millions of offices already use. The update rolls out first to Pro and Max users on web, desktop and mobile over the next few weeks. Team and free users come later.

If you already use Claude, you may not need a separate word processor or slide app. That saves time and monthly subscription money.
