Anthropic says Claude for Excel and PowerPoint now work more like one connected workspace, sharing the full context of a conversation across all open spreadsheets and slide decks so users do not have to repeat instructions as they move between analysis and presentation tasks. The update also brings Skills into both add-ins, letting teams turn common workflows into reusable one-click actions, with starter skills aimed especially at financial modeling, data cleanup, deck creation, and presentation review. Anthropic is also pushing broader enterprise deployment by making the tools available through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry, alongside direct Claude access. Overall, the post frames these changes as a way to help paid Mac and Windows users move faster from raw data to finished deliverables with more consistency and less manual back-and-forth.
