Are they? Still seems way more convenient to just connect Claude to whatever people are already running.
Nobody is replacing excel anywhere.

Nadella already said that they expect to have more revenue from agents than from humans.
They are shifting to building stuff for agents, not for humans.

Yep, just need Claude Mail (Cmail, anyone?) and Cluade Docs and you have a strong competitor to Google Workspaces. I'd consider using Cmail to start getting out of googles ad ecosystem.

You mean like slack did?
I did my first claude slides presentation. I don't see myself voluntarily loading up PowerPoint again.
Now it'll be harder to do the same for word and harder still for excel, but word is doable, and claude can build one off tools better than excel can, so I definitely think that MS should be wary.
