Summary
Anthropic has updated its Claude AI to include autonomous research functionality and integration with Google Workspace, positioning the AI as a “true virtual collaborator” for enterprises.
The Research tool enables Claude to conduct independent searches while deciding what to investigate next, while the Google Workplace integration connects users’ emails, calendars and documents without the need for manual uploads.
Anthropic positions Claude’s research functionality as much faster than competitors, promising comprehensive answers in minutes rather than the “up to 30 minutes” that other products require, according to the company.
The email from Anthropic also states that privacy is foundational to the company’s approach, strict authentication and access controls are in place and each user connection to external services is authenticated for individual users.
