- Claude can now send, reply to, forward, and otherwise act on Gmail messages, including sending emails without explicit user approval, according to multiple outlets covering the rollout.
- Anthropic is expanding Claude's integrations with Gmail and Google Drive and widening access to Claude Cowork at the same time as the new Gmail sending capability.
Why it matters: Claude's new Gmail capability lets it send emails autonomously without explicit user confirmation, shifting the trust burden onto anyone who has connected their account. The concurrent expansion into Google Drive and Claude Cowork broadens the surface area where Claude can act on a user's behalf in the workplace.
