Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude. In Google Workspace, Claude sits in a sidebar next to your file, reads what you have open, and edits it in place. You can approve each edit before it lands.

Dumb question: I’ve been running most of my cron jobs locally on my Mac Mini because it’s already authenticated with Google Workspace and the other apps I use. But should I run these jobs in the cloud instead with these apps OAuth’d to my Claude or ChatGPT account? How should I think about what jobs should stay local vs. move to the cloud?
