Got a spreadsheet throwing #REF! or #DIV/0! and nobody knows why? Claude for Excel finds the broken cell, explains it, and fixes it only when you approve. Here are the install and the asks to type.
New term: Claude for Excel is Anthropic's add-in that opens Claude in a side panel inside your workbook. It reads every tab and formula in the open file and answers with clickable cell citations.

Use Outlook with Microsoft 365? Claude can now sort your unread mail into what needs you, what it can draft, and what's noise, and every reply waits unsent until you click Send. Here's the setup.
New term: Claude for Outlook is Anthropic's add-in that puts Claude in a side panel inside Outlook. It's in beta, reads your mail and calendar, drafts replies and invites, and never sends anything on its own.

Claude can now check your bank and card accounts, read-only, for charges that hit twice, surprise fees, and bills that crept up. Mike and Frank show how to link one bank and what to ask.
New term: Personal Finance in Claude is a page inside Claude where you link bank, card, loan, and investment accounts through Plaid, see balances and spending in one place, and ask Claude about your own money. It can only read; it can't move, manage, or invest money.

Need a real spreadsheet, not chat text? Tell Claude the outcome, format, and inputs in one ask—then download a finished Excel file with working formulas you can open and edit.
New term: File creation means Claude writes and runs code in a private workspace and builds an actual file—Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF—that you download from the conversation, instead of a table you copy out of chat.

Tired of rebuilding the same Monday summary by hand? Claude’s Scheduled tasks can run a Monday brief in the cloud—even when your computer is off—so you open to the page, not a blank chat.
New term: A Scheduled task is a prompt you save once with a cadence. Claude runs it on your schedule and leaves the finished brief under Scheduled for you to review—even if your computer was off.

Tired of pasting your brand voice and price rules into every Claude chat? Projects let you upload that briefing once so every reply in that project stays on-brand.
New term: A Project is a folder for related Claude chats. Project knowledge is the files Claude reuses in every chat inside that project—chat history alone does not carry across chats unless you add it to knowledge.

This week's AI news for owners: ChatGPT and Codex share one usage pool starting in December, Shopify put Shop Pay and a Knowledge base inside AI agents, and Claude Enterprise got pooled team budgets.

Want county restaurant inspection news without rewriting DBPR legalese by hand? Mike had Grok Bot research public Okaloosa records and draft Facebook posts that stay draft-only until you approve.
New term: Draft only (also called an approval gate) means the bot can research and write the post, but it never publishes to Facebook or anywhere else until a human says yes.

Wonder what the shop down the road just changed on its website? Mike had Grok Bot check local competitors twice a week and report only real changes, without posting or contacting anyone.
New term: A material change is something that would make you rethink a price, a service, or a page on your own site. A new promo, a new city page, a rebrand, or a shutdown counts. A rotating blog sidebar or a review count ticking up by two does not.
