Claude Can Now Write Your Documents and Slides Right in Chat

Anthropic just gave its AI chatbot Claude two new abilities: making documents and making slide presentations. Instead of writing something in Claude, copying it, and pasting it into another app, you can now ask Claude to build the whole thing for you. Want a one-page proposal? A 10-slide deck for Monday's meeting? You type the request into a normal chat, and Claude produces a finished file. You can ask it to revise sections, or just click in and edit by hand. Everything lives at a single shareable link you can open on your phone.

The bigger change is that Anthropic is folding all its work tools into "one Claude." Previously, features like Cowork (AI that helps with office tasks) and Design lived in separate places. Now Claude figures out what a task needs on its own and pulls in the right abilities automatically. Think of it less like switching between apps and more like one assistant who happens to know how to do everything.

Why should you care? Google has spent the past year stuffing its own AI, Gemini, into Docs, Sheets, and Slides. If your company lives in Google's tools, Gemini was the easy choice simply because it was already there. Claude has generally been seen as the smarter writer, but it made you leave your document to use it. That gap is now closing — which is good news for anyone who writes reports, proposals, or presentations for a living. More competition usually means better tools and cheaper prices.

The catch: this is a beta, meaning early and rough around the edges. Right now it's rolling out over the next few weeks to Pro and Max subscribers on the web, desktop, and mobile apps — free and Team users get it later. And one caution worth remembering: AI-generated documents still need a human read-through before they go to your boss or your client.
