Claude AI assistant introduces new extension for seamless integration with Google Sheets

Claude, a next-generation AI assistant, has announced a new extension — Claude for Sheets — that allows users to call Claude directly in Google Sheets. This extension facilitates a seamless integration between Claude and Google Sheets, enabling users to execute interactions with Claude within cells.

The extension can be installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace. After installation, users need to enter their Claude developer API key to start using the extension in Google Sheets documents.

Claude for Sheets provides two primary functions: =CLAUDE(prompt) and =CLAUDEFREE(prompt, model, params…). The =CLAUDE(prompt) function wraps the user's prompt in the format \n\nHuman: ${your_prompt}\n\nAssistant: automatically. The =CLAUDEFREE(prompt, model, params…) function mirrors the raw API Claude interface and the "Edit Chat" mode on the console.

Users wanting to specify API parameters can do so by listing “parameter name” and “parameter value” at the end of the call. This new feature provides a more direct and integrated way for users to interact with Claude, further enhancing the capabilities of this next-generation AI assistant.
