# Claude for Excel, PowerPoint and Word reaches general availability

By Steven Van · 2026-05-08

Outlook joins as a public beta, with context carrying across all four Microsoft 365 apps.

[Claude](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/claude>) for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word is now generally available on all paid plans, and Claude for Outlook has joined as a public beta. Context carries across all four apps, so a thread that starts in an inbox can finish as a deck without copying anything between tools.

The [announcement](<https://x.com/i/status/2052445786651168849>) frames this as part of Claude working across a Microsoft 365 workflow rather than a single document at a time.
