Stop copy-pasting between Claude and Google Docs. Claude now works inside Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Here's how to set it up: Step 1. Get a pro Claude plan. Step 2. Go to the Google Workspace Marketplace. Step 3. Search "Claude." Step 4. Click Install. Choose your Google account. Step 5. Reload the file you already have open. Step 6. Go to any file in your Google Doc. Step 7. Click on 'Extensions' (top bar) → Claude. Step 8. Sign in with your Claude account. Step 9. Claude even suggest you the use cases. It will install in all three apps (Google Docs, Sheets & Slides) In case your work laptop doesn't allow it. Message your Google Workspace admin to add Claude to the allowlist (this is the only step you can take). Before trying it out, read these 3 things: → Turn on "Ask before edits" to approve changes. → Select a specific text, cells, or a slide first in the file and then prompt. Claude works on exactly that. → You'd be able to see all the edits in 'Version history' under your name. So you always have control and can undo edits. Now, try these prompts to get a taste of what Claude can do inside Google Workspace: ✦ In Google Docs. For your contracts before you sign anything: "I'm the [freelancer / tenant / employee] signing this. Go clause by clause. Flag anything that could cost me money, restrict me after this ends, or let the other side change terms. For each: quote the clause, explain it in plain English, and tell me what to ask them to change." → Follow up: "List every term in this contract that's used but never defined." ✦ In Google Docs. Before your boss reads a doc: "Read this as a skeptical executive. What 3 questions will they ask that this doc doesn't answer?" ✦ In Google Sheets. When you go through someone else's spreadsheet: "Explain how the total in H42 is calculated. Step by step. Flag anything hardcoded." → Follow up: "Find why the VLOOKUP on the Summary tab returns # N/A. Fix it." ✦ In Google Sheets. Before you share any high stake sheet: "Check for broken formulas, inconsistent ranges, and totals that don't add up." ✦ In Google Slides. The wall-of-text slide: "Slide 7 is a wall of text. Split it into two slides. Keep the deck's styling." ✦ In Google Slides. The night before presenting: "Rewrite every title as a takeaway, not a topic. Under 8 words. Then flag any text running off a slide." What Claude can't do yet: > It only sees the opened file. Connect Google Drive to give it more. > It can't read comments in Docs (yet). > Close the sidebar and it stops mid-task. > It won't work in Firefox. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari. > It makes charts in Slides (they are images). They won't update with your data. > Word, Excel or PowerPoint file? File → Save as Google Docs first.
