Anthropic has announced major updates to its AI assistant, Claude, introducing both an autonomous research capability and Google Workspace integration. These enhancements are designed to transform Claude into a more versatile tool, particularly for enterprise users, and directly challenge OpenAI and Microsoft in the competitive market for AI productivity tools. The new "Research" feature allows Claude to conduct systematic, multi-step investigations across internal work contexts and the web. It operates autonomously, performing iterative searches to explore various angles of a query and resolve open questions, ensuring thorough answers supported by citations.
Anthropic's Google Workspace integration expands Claude's ability to interact with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Docs. By securely accessing emails, calendar events, and documents, Claude can compile meeting notes, extract action items from email threads, and search relevant files without manual uploads or repeated context-setting. This functionality is designed to benefit diverse user groups, from marketing and sales teams to engineers and students, by streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. For Enterprise plan administrators, Anthropic also offers an additional Google Docs cataloging function that uses retrieval augmented generation techniques to index organizational documents securely.
The Research feature is currently available in early beta for Max, Team, and Enterprise plans in the United States, Japan, and Brazil, while the Google Workspace integration is available in beta for all paid users globally. Anthropic emphasizes that these updates are part of an ongoing effort to make Claude a robust collaborative partner. The company plans to expand the range of available content sources and give Claude the ability to conduct even more in-depth research in the coming weeks. With its focus on enterprise-grade security and speed, Anthropic is betting that Claude's ability to deliver quick and well-researched answers will win over busy executives.
