Anthropic said its Claude large language model (LLM) will integrate with Google Workspace to add enterprise documents for its Research feature for Max, Team and Enterprise customers.

The company's Claude model has had an enterprise spin and vision that revolves around making its LLM a work partner. With its Google Workspace integration, Claude will be able to add internal documents such as email, calendar and docs.

According to Anthropic, Research is in early beta, web search is available in the US and Workspace integration is available in beta.

Anthropic said in a blog post:

"With Research, Claude can search across both your internal work context and the web to help you make decisions and take action faster than before."

Claude will also provide inline citations to verify sources. Anthropic is betting that integration with Google Workspace will enable Claude to handle more marketing, sales, engineering and education use cases.

A few thoughts on Claude's integration with Google Workspace.

  • The integration between Claude Research and Google Workspace will enable more bakeoffs between Anthropic and Google Cloud's Gemini models.
  • Google Workspace is likely just the first Anthropic partner. Expect more partnerships with the likes of Box and other content repositories.
  • Anthropic is building a set of tools around Claude and ultimately could become more of a work collaboration platform.
