I tested Claude's new file creation features

It can now create and edit Docs, Excel, and PDFs (and it's impressive)

Claude can now create and edit actual files—Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs—with professional formatting. Not just text outputs you copy-paste. Real, downloadable, ready-to-go documents.

I just tested this with my own content.

Asked Claude to analyze my September content to this point, create a strategic report, then build a content planning spreadsheet.

Two separate requests.
Two perfect documents.
Dropped right into my Google Drive.

“Can you take a look at all of my chats for this month and give me just a monthly report about all of our content creation?”

Claude searched through all my September conversations, analyzed the patterns, and created aformatted Google Doc with sections, tables, and strategic analysis.

Here's where it gets even more interesting.
