AnthropicfeatureClaude for Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word GA; Outlook Beta)
Claude's add-ins for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are generally available on all paid plans and now share full context across the three apps. Plus a new Outlook add-in launches in public beta.
Details
- Excel, PowerPoint, and Word add-ins are out of beta on all paid plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise)
- The three GA add-ins share full conversation context, so Claude carries what it knows from one app into the next
- Outlook add-in is in public beta on all paid plans: triages unread mail, drafts replies/forwards in your voice (learned from your sent folder), summarizes threads with citations, reads docx/xlsx/pptx/pdf attachments inline, and finds meeting times
- Outlook drafts land unsent in the native compose pane; you still click send (no programmatic Mail.Send during beta)
Best for
marketers and analysts who already live in Office and want Claude alongside their files instead of pasting back and forth
When to use it
drafting in Word from numbers in Excel, then turning the result into a deck in PowerPoint without re-explaining the work
Who benefits
paid Claude users (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) on Microsoft 365
