Anthropic wants users of Claude They can complete more tasks without leaving their conversations with artificial intelligence. The company has presented Claude Docs and Claude Slidestwo tools to create and edit documents and presentations that compete with applications like words and PowerPoint of Microsoft or the Documents and Presentations of Google.
Both arrive in beta phase and allow you to generate documents and presentations using instructions and edit your content manually within Claude. The wizard could already create these files and modify them following the user’s instructions, but with the new tools you can also make changes directly, without having to entrust them to the AI or open the file in another application.
The Claude Docs documents are private initially, although they can be shared with other people to work on at the same time. Additionally, team members have the ability to add Google Docs-style comments. Anthropic notes that everything created with Docs and Slides is available through a shareable link.
Files created with these tools may also be used outside of the Anthropic platform. Documents can be exported to Microsoft Word or Google Docs, while presentations can be brought to PowerPoint, Google Slides or saved as PDF. File formats that Claude supports for these tasks include .docx for Word, .pptx for PowerPoint and .pdf. They are output formats, not a proprietary extension advertised for documents edited within Claude.
