Claude will now not only draft emails but also send them itself! It will be able to perform these major tasks in Gmail and Google Drive..

Anthropic has enhanced the capabilities of its AI assistant, Claude, regarding its integration with Google Workspace. With this new update, Claude goes beyond merely summarizing emails or drafting replies; it can now perform tasks such as sending emails and managing files within Google Drive.
However, Claude will seek user approval before sending any email, thereby minimizing the risk of automated messages being sent without authorization.
What can Claude do in Gmail now?

Anthropic has updated its Google Workspace connector. Consequently, Claude can now draft, reply to, forward, and—crucially—send emails in Gmail. Previously, Claude could read existing emails to summarize long threads or highlight important messages. Now, the AI ​​agent can draft responses based on this information and take further action.

By default, however, Claude will request user approval before sending an email. This ensures that the user can review the message before authorizing its dispatch.

For Team and Enterprise plans, administrators can decide whether to require employee approval for every action or allow certain tasks to proceed without repeated authorization.
Claude’s capabilities expanded in Google Drive as well.

The new update also enhances Claude’s integration with Google Drive. Users can instruct Claude to share, move, or delete files stored in their cloud storage. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who handle large volumes of documents and files daily, as it reduces the need to manually navigate Google Drive for routine tasks.

Claude evolving into a highly capable AI agent
In addition to Gmail and Google Drive, Claude already supports integration with Google Calendar. By combining these features, Claude is moving beyond the role of a standard chatbot to become a highly functional AI productivity assistant.

Anthropic has also announced that "Claude Cowork" is now available across all paid plans on both mobile and web platforms. With the new Google Workspace update, Claude can be used specifically to simplify professional work and everyday office tasks.
