Anthropic launches research tool and Google Workspace integration
1 min read
Summary
AI chatbot Claude by Anthropic is getting two major upgrades, according to a company announcement today.
Research, a new feature, enables Claude to find and reason over information by conducting multiple searches to answer a query, a feature Anthropic calls “agentic”.
Search results are backed by citations so that users can verify the information themselves.
Google Workspace integration turns Claude into a “frontline workplace assistant”, allowing it to access a user’s Gmail, Google Calendar and Documents and present information from these sources.
The new features are being rolled out on an incremental basis, with the Research function available in beta for Max, Team and Enterprise plans in the US, Japan and Brazil, and the Google Workspace integration available in beta to all paid users.
