Anthropic's artificial intelligence (AI)
chatbot Claude
is integrating with Google Workspace, promising to help professionals free up time and get work done faster.
The San-Francisco-based company announced on Tuesday that users will no longer have to dig through their emails on Gmail, calendar, or documents, as there will be advanced document search capabilities, Anthropic said.
As well as this streamlined approach to searching through your Google Workspace without having to specify exactly which file you require, Claude will also be able to pull up meeting notes and past correspondence and search other relevant documents for additional context.
Anthropic also announced a tool called Research that can search across both your internal work context and the web.

Shift towards agentic AI
The announcements mark the company's direction towards agentic AI, technology that aims to perform autonomous actions to assist humans and does not require a human to tell them what to do, as they gather data based on user preference.
Anthropic
said that the tech could help students learn new topics by using Claude to analyse learning materials and notes from the classroom while also searching for the latest academic research.
The company said it could also help parents to organise calendar events while also searching the web for weather forecasts and local community events.
Anthropic added that the tools have enterprise-grade security that keeps your data within the user's control and maintains the confidentiality of the user's company knowledge.
The company said Google Workspace integration is available for early testing in beta to all paid users.

Coming to Europe
Research is not yet available in Europe for the moment, but the company told Euronews Next that it will be available in Europe and worldwide soon, without specifying a date.
The announcements come as Anthropic launches a major European hiring spree. Last week, it announced it was creating more than 100 new engineering, research, sales and business operations roles across Europe.
"We've long planned to deepen our investment [in Europe]," said Daniela Amodei, president and cofounder of Anthropic, in a statement.
"Since launching Claude in Europe last year, we've seen rapid organic growth amongst businesses and consumers alike, confirming the region's strategic importance to Anthropic's future".

GGZ strengthens portfolio with Grifoni acquisition
GGZ — the Padua-based company that owns the Vicolo, Solotre, and Amaranto brands — has acquired 100% of Grifoni, a Venetian brand founded in 1992, and has created a dedicated business unit. The company aims to enrich its high-end segment offering with this acquisition. "With this operation, we are not only expanding business opportunities but also laying the foundations for an evolution that will integrate new partners throughout the supply chain. We want to strengthen our capacity for innovation and consolidate our leadership across various market segments," said Massimo Zanchi, CEO of GGZ. "Grifoni has enormous potential. The path will be gradual, but this acquisition adds a complementary dimension to our current assets. This is an important investment that focuses on the brand's vision, talent, and identity." The new ownership will present the first collection designed by Grifoni for Spring/Summer 2026. The relaunch will also revise the brand's identity to project a more contemporary aesthetic consistent with its future positioning, while respecting its DNA. The sales strategy will include internationalization and optimization of the wholesale network. In 2024, GGZ recorded total sales of 82 million euros and achieved an export share of 38%.

South African clothing retailers add stores as economic forecast weakens
'There is a level of retail saturation in South Africa and when economic growth is so weak, there's limited scope for organic space growth,' said Atiyyah Vawda, an executive director at Avior Capital Markets in Johannesburg. 'So new growth comes from brands they recently acquired and under-penetrated brands that do not have sufficient exposure in particular areas.' Still, retailers have slowed space growth compared to a year ago and carefully evaluate new openings to ensure sufficient returns, Vawda said. 'A huge amount of development is taking place outside of major metro areas in the country,' TFG Chief Executive Officer Anthony Thunström said in an interview Friday. In these areas, 'there's a massive informal economy and a lot of its cash often isn't really measured in official GDP numbers.' Retailers remain selective about store expansion and may open fewer outlets. 'We don't want to get sucked into a space race,' Mr Price CEO Mark Blair told reporters. 'It's not just growth, it's quality space,' that meets strict profitability criteria. Blair said last year, the Durban-based company rejected up to 70% of the locations offered. Clothing retailers account for three of the five worst-performing stocks on the FTSE/JSE Retailers Index this year, with building material retailers occupying the other two spots. Shoppers seeking T-shirts and shoes that fit their budgets are also increasing their online purchases. Almost 6% of TFG's local sales come through its online Bash platform, and the company expects that share to nearly double over the next two or three years. This trend may also temper the growth of full retail outlets, as more orders ship from large distribution centers and so-called dark stores. 'That stock doesn't necessarily have to sit in fully lit stores anymore,' Thunström said. 'We can make it more efficient.' TFG's online unit recently became profitable, about two years ahead of schedule.

South African clothing retailers add stores as economic forecast weakens
South African clothing retailers plan to add hundreds of new stores next year, even as the continent's most industrialized economy lowers its economic growth forecast. Pepkor Holdings Ltd., Africa's largest clothing retailer, The Foschini Group Ltd. and Mr Price Group Ltd. aim to open as many as 600 outlets, largely focusing on their discount brands. In contrast, food retailers Pick n Pay Stores Ltd. and Spar Group Ltd. expect muted store growth over the next 12 months. Last month, the National Treasury lowered its forecast for annual gross domestic product expansion over the next three years to 1.6% from 1.8%, citing the trade turmoil sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump.
