Anthropic is bringing Claude's AI capabilities directly into Microsoft Word, TechRadar reports. The integration makes Claude available natively within one of the world's most widely used productivity applications.
This marks a major expansion in Anthropic's enterprise footprint and deepens its relationship with Microsoft despite the AI lab's simultaneous tensions with OpenAI over client access.
The integration allows Word users to invoke Claude for document drafting, editing, summarisation, and analysis without leaving the application. It is available to Microsoft 365 enterprise subscribers as an optional add-on.
The pricing has not been disclosed, but sources suggest it will be bundled with Microsoft's Copilot Pro subscription at no additional cost — a move designed to attract users away from standalone Claude subscriptions.
For Anthropic, the deal represents a strategic foothold in the enterprise productivity market. More than 400 million people use Microsoft Office globally, giving Claude potential exposure to a massive new audience.
