Claude Now Works with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides (claude.com)

It seems this isn't just MCP but a plugin into the Google ecosystem that allows side-by-side edit conversation with realtime changes similar to Gemini / Google AI Pro.

What I don't understand is, why would Google allow such direct competition to their own AI subscription? Looking forward to a community/open version of this tho it sounds like it needs something hosted to work.

Ironic that this is even news. AI can do anything but probably not fight bureaucracy at Google.

I would’ve expected a connector to Google docs at least 1 year back
