Overview
Teal’s cofounders walk through Claude’s Chrome extension, the plugin and connector marketplace, and how to record your own AI skill.
Key Takeaways
Claude’s Chrome extension does more than answer questions about the page you’re looking at. It can click through your website, gather information across multiple pages, and hand you a finished summary while you work on something else. Teal cofounders Gar Whaley and Reid Johnston show how that works, along with the plugin and connector updates that let Claude read from, and now write into, Microsoft 365.
You’ll explore:
– How the Claude Chrome extension reads a page and pulls it into your prompt
– How Claude drives your browser to click, scroll, and gather information on its own
– Extensions for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Slack that put Claude inside apps you already use
– Why Claude can’t, and shouldn’t, automate your LinkedIn account
– The difference between a plugin, a connector, and a skill
– What to watch for before installing a third-party plugin from the Anthropic directory
– The new write and delete tools inside Claude’s Microsoft 365 connector, and how approval settings keep you in control
– How Claude compares with Copilot for writing back into Microsoft 365
– How to record a Claude skill on the desktop app, plus a workaround if you’re not on a Mac
