Claude PowerPoint Expands to Pro Users

• Context Window Architecture: 1 million token capacity allows processing of approximately 750,000 words per session, enabling analysis of entire codebases and lengthy documents without context loss[2]
• Agent Teams Protocol: Multiple AI agents operate with independent context windows (up to 1M tokens each) and communicate through a peer-to-peer Mailbox Protocol, enabling parallel task execution rather than sequential workflows[4]
• Output Capacity: Maximum 128,000 output tokens per response (approximately 96,000 words), sufficient for complete documentation, codebase migrations, and comprehensive reports in single generations[4]
• Adaptive Thinking: API feature allowing Claude to determine when deeper reasoning is warranted, with four effort levels to balance speed, intelligence, and cost[2]
• Context Compaction (Beta): Automatic summarization of older context for longer-running tasks, preventing token limit exhaustion in extended conversations[2][5]
• Computer Use Capability: Agentic loop where Claude processes screenshots and uses mouse/keyboard tools to interact with systems directly, advancing beyond API-dependent workflows[5]

The expansion of Claude into PowerPoint and broader enterprise tools signals Anthropic's pivot from developer-focused AI toward mainstream productivity software integration, potentially disrupting traditional SaaS licensing models. The 'SaaSpocalypse' phenomenon—where AI agents can perform tasks previously requiring expensive seat-based licenses—is accelerating as these capabilities reach Pro-tier users[3]. Agent teams architecture represents a fundamental shift from single-assistant to multi-agent autonomous workflows, enabling complex project coordination without human intermediation. Integration with Microsoft's Office ecosystem (PowerPoint, Excel) positions Anthropic to compete directly in enterprise productivity despite Microsoft's OpenAI partnership, suggesting a bifurcation of the AI market between specialized developer tools and general-purpose office automation[1][2].
