Anthropic has launched a file-creation and editing feature for its AI assistant Claude, enabling users to generate Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, and PDFs via Claude. ai and its desktop application. The capability is now in preview for users on the Max, Team, and Enterprise plans; Pro-plan access will follow in the coming weeks.

Claude now supports crafting working spreadsheets with formulas, project trackers with automated dashboards, and budget templates with variance calculations. Users can upload existing data, request data cleaning, run statistical analyses, produce charts or visualisations, and receive documents ready for download or integration with tools like Google Drive.

The feature introduces a“private computing environment” within Claude where code can be run to facilitate file manipulation and format conversion. For example, a PDF report can be transformed into a slide deck, or invoices can be reorganised into structured spreadsheets.

Security measures accompany the launch: the computing environment is sandboxed, usage limits are enforced, and administrators in Team and Enterprise settings control activation. Users are urged to monitor outputs for possible issues, including prompt injection risks, and to disable the feature if unintended data access or processes occur.

This expansion positions Claude in sharper competition with other AI-based productivity tools, particularly those that already offer cross-format document generation and integrated automation. For organisations and business users, the appeal lies in reducing the number of separate tools or manual steps required to move from raw data to polished deliverables.
