The project is said to be in its early stages with an internal prototype that incorporates ChatGPT's image generation capabilities into a social feed.

As well as the usual web access, Claude's research tool can also access information from the user's Google workspace, including Gmail, Calendar and Docs. This allows this research tool to combine knowledge from your docs and about you personally to create a far more tailored response.
