Anthropic announced new tools for office work on November 10. Claude can now build spreadsheets and shared whiteboards with a team, and turn company data into dashboards. The tools come with all paid Claude plans.

Google’s Gemini agent for work can also run on Claude

Google Cloud says the agent can work on a task for hours or days and pass parts to helper agents with their own email addresses. Google gave no price or launch date for most customers.

Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent on October 8 at its Gemini at Work event. It is one agent for questions, documents, images and code, and it works in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Slack. It picks a model for each task, from Google’s Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude. Versions for finance and legal work are in preview.

OpenAI launches always-on dots agents at DevDay

Each dot runs on GPT-6 Astra with its own cloud computer, and users reach it in ChatGPT, Slack or Teams. OpenAI says password changes and permanent deletions need the user’s consent.

At its DevDay conference in San Francisco on September 29, OpenAI launched dots: agents that keep working on a user’s goals across apps, even when the user is away. They are rolling out first to Pro and Business Premium subscribers. OpenAI also announced the cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol model, a team workspace called ChatGPT Space and a $500-a-month plan.

Developers use Jev as a fast judge inside their apps

It is far cheaper than big models, but not always as accurate.

Early testers use Jev to route requests, check risky agent actions, and grade other models’ work. Vercel reports faster and more accurate safety checks. In one email test, Google’s Gemini was slightly more accurate but 10 to 20 times more expensive.

Salesforce wants its data and actions inside every AI screen

Permissions are the real interface.

AIforce connects Salesforce records and workflows to Claude, Slack, Amazon tools, and Gemini Enterprise. The idea is useful, but each action still depends on access rules, review, and clear availability.
