- Claude can now create and edit Excel spreadsheets, documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and PDFs directly in Claude.ai and the desktop app.
- File creation is available as a preview for Max, Team, and Enterprise plan users, with Pro users gaining access in the coming weeks.
- Users can turn data into insights, build spreadsheets with working formulas, and cross-format work (e.g., PDF to PowerPoint).
- Claude uses a private computer environment to write code and run programs, transforming from an advisor to an active collaborator.
- To start creating files, enable 'Upgraded file creation and analysis' in settings, upload relevant files, and guide Claude through the work via chat.
- Users should monitor chats closely as this feature gives Claude internet access, which may pose data risks.
