  • Data Insights: Input raw data, and Claude will return cleaned data, statistical analysis, charts, and textual interpretation.

  • Smart Tables: It can automatically generate financial models, project tracking tables, or budget templates with formulas and multiple tables.

  • Format Conversion: Upload a PDF report, and Claude can automatically generate a PPT; input meeting notes, and it can turn them into well-formatted documents; invoices can also be converted into calculable tables.

The core of this upgrade is that Claude now has a "private computer environment." Here, it can write and run code, helping users complete the entire process from data processing to file generation. In other words, Claude is no longer just an assistant who answers questions, but a "digital collaborator" that can truly participate in project execution.
