In its Claude artificial intelligence type, Anthropic has added a fresh Research function that enables the system to independently conduct multi-step studies. In just a few minutes, Claude you craft a well-reasoned answer with credible citations, aiming for a “balance of speed and excellent.”
The AI business claims that Claude responds to questions “agentically,” freely determining what information it needs to gather following to create the appropriate response. It “explores different perspectives of your problem immediately and works through empty questions systematically,” Anthropic said in its media release.
People on Claude’s Max, Team, or Business programs in the US, Japan, and Brazil is access the Research function at this early stage of the alpha. When activated in the profile settings, it is immediately accessible within the Claude software.
Similar announcements from OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, which are also adding intelligent analysis capabilities to their specialized chatbots, were followed by Anthropic’s reports this time. Note: This month, Anthropic published a study that demonstrated that its Claude design and DeepSeek’s R1 is occasionally create explanations of their inner logic techniques.

Google plugins Claude’s fresh
Anthropic also announced two fresh Google plugins for Claude, one of which is more important and context-aware. These enhancements improve the Google Docs inclusion that was first made available in November.
When Google Workspace exposure is enabled, Claude can get appointment notes or activity items hidden in emails and calendar events, according to Anthropic. Users no longer have to manually upload data before using the robot as a result.

Plugins can even be made in accordance with the Research capacity. For example, it might notice a parent if a commitment on their calendar conflicts with an event listed on the school website for their child or if bad weather is forecast. Similar to Research, Claude uses the Google Workspace inclusion to provide quotations, clearly indicating where the data was sourced for its response.
Paid Anthropic people can only access Google Workspace interfaces in a experimental form through their account options. Administrators had first help Google Workspace access domain-wide when using a Team or Enterprise plan before connecting individual users to their accounts.
Retrieval enhanced era combined with record search
Anthropic is also releasing a Google Docs cataloguing tool that uses searching augmented technology methods for business administrators. This basically makes it possible to find important information across the entire file ecosystem without having to explain precise file locations.
But Claude will be able to retrieve the information even if it is hidden deep within a long-forgotten file or only becomes apparent through a pattern that has spread across several files. Anthropic claims to defend the organization’s data using “enterprise-grade safety.”
While Microsoft’s Copilot can access Microsoft 365 programs like Word, Excel, and Outlook, Claude is not the first AI robot to obtain a Google Workspace integration. Gemini and ChatGPT even provide them. By expanding its feature set and integration capabilities, Anthropic is positioning Claude as a competitive enterprise tool despite trailing ChatGPT in total user numbers.
