Will These Tools Change Your Workflow?
The new tools will allow users to change up file formats, turning a doc file into a PDF with a single command. (Granted, that’s already possible with a dropdown menu button in Google Docs, too.)
Users might use the tool to reformat their school homework. However, the same tool can fully generate the writing prior to reformatting it, so it’s possible that this is just one more way for students to easily create an essay or other homework rather than writing it themselves. This just might be yet another AI nightmare for school teachers everywhere.
One word of warning from Anthropic’s press release: Claude requires internet access to create or edit your personal files, and this “may put your data at risk.”
