Anthropic has expanded Claude's Google Workspace actions so paid users can have it draft, reply to and forward Gmail messages, with approval optional before sending, Android Police reported. Team and Enterprise owners decide whether members can allow unprompted actions. Claude can also share, move and trash Google Drive files. Anthropic says Gmail access has limits with large mailboxes, attachments and advanced filters; Drive handling excludes images, comments and suggestions.
