Claude AI integrates with Microsoft 365 and launches enterprise search for business teams
Anthropic has rolled out two new enterprise features for Claude, integration with Microsoft 365 and a unified search tool designed to connect organizational data across platforms.
Anthropic took to social media to announce that Claude, its conversational AI assistant, now connects with Microsoft 365 and offers enterprise-wide search. The update enables Claude to access and analyze data from applications including SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams.
“Introducing two new features: Claude now connects to Microsoft 365 and offers enterprise search,” the company wrote on LinkedIn. “You can connect Claude to SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook and Teams to search documents, analyze email threads, and review meeting summaries directly in conversation.”
Anthropic, known for developing AI models focused on reliability and alignment, said both features are available immediately for Claude Team and Enterprise customers.
The new Microsoft 365 connector allows users to link Claude with commonly used business tools. Through this integration, Claude can access and process information from documents, messages, and meetings stored across the Microsoft ecosystem.
According to Anthropic’s announcement, connecting Claude to Microsoft 365 “gives the context to collaborate more effectively—helping you reason through complex problems, make informed decisions, and take action faster.”
Users can now search and analyze files stored in SharePoint and OneDrive, review Outlook email patterns, and retrieve key points from Teams chats and meeting summaries, all without manually uploading materials to Claude.
Enterprise search for shared company knowledge
Alongside the Microsoft 365 connector, Anthropic introduced enterprise search, a feature that consolidates company data into a single, searchable project. Once an administrator connects internal tools, users can query Claude for information across shared sources like HR policies, emails, and collaboration channels.
Anthropic said the capability “brings your company’s knowledge into one place, using a dedicated shared project.” The system also includes custom prompts to refine searches and improve response accuracy.
The company emphasized use cases such as onboarding new team members, identifying experts across departments, and analyzing feedback patterns to guide strategy and decision-making.
The Microsoft 365 connector and enterprise search are now live for all Claude Team and Enterprise customers. Organization administrators can enable access and configure connected data sources.
