Claude introduces new Docs and Slides tools
Claude is introducing a pair of new tools that will let you use the AI tool to create documents and presentations without leaving the app. They're called 'Docs' and 'Slides' and feel like they'll work a lot like Gemini does with Google Docs and Google Slides.
"Ask for a document, and you and Claude write it together. Ask for a presentation, and Claude drafts the slides. You can edit directly, present straight from Claude, or download as PowerPoint or PDF," Anthropic wrote in blog post.
Both tools are in beta on paid plans, and Enterprise admins can choose when to turn them on.
