Anthropic announced that Claude can now directly create and edit Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and PDFs inside both Claude.ai and its desktop app.
Users on Max, Team, and Enterprise plans can access the feature immediately, with Pro plan users to follow shortly. Powered by a private, sandboxed computing environment, Claude can write code and perform analyses, transforming it from a conversational assistant into an active collaborator.
Users simply describe their needs, upload data, and receive polished, ready-to-use files complete with formulas, charts, and formatting.
