  • Claude can now send emails in Gmail and manage files in Google Drive.
  • Anthropic is also expanding Claude Cowork to mobile and web apps.
  • It is also extending the 50% increased weekly Claude Code limits through August 31.

Claude already has a ton of integrations with third-party apps and services. It can also check your Gmail for unread emails, action items, and do a lot more. However, Anthropic is now adding even more capabilities to its Gmail and Google Drive integrations.

The company announced in an X post that Claude can now send emails in Gmail and manage files in Google Drive. Previously, Claude could check emails and give users a summary of any action items or important messages, but couldn’t respond to them. Now, however, users can ask Claude to reply to emails, and it will draft and send them.

Claude / X Users can also choose not to have Claude send an email automatically if they want to review it before sending. That’s useful, especially for things like work emails where accuracy is extremely important.

In Google Drive, Claude can now help users manage files. This includes searching for and retrieving files from Drive, sharing, moving, or deleting files, and much more.

A full list of Claude’s upgraded Gmail and Google Drive capabilities is available on Claude’s support page.

In a separate X post, Anthropic also announced that Claude Cowork is now available on mobile and web across all paid plans. Users can now track Cowork directly on their smartphones, rather than relying solely on the Claude desktop application.

The company also announced that it’s extending the 50% increased weekly Claude Code limit through August 31. Previously, the company announced that the increased limits would apply until August 19 for all Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
