Anthropic expands Claude into workplace meetings and office tools
Claude Meetings can join a video call as a visible participant, follow the discussion and work on tasks as the conversation unfolds. It can draft plans, build timelines on a shared board, respond to questions through meeting chat, and retrieve information from connected work apps. Notes and materials created during the call are available afterward in Claude. The beta is for Team and Enterprise plans and initially works with Google Meet. Claude will leave if an external guest joins, unless an administrator has authorized the call.
Whiteboards lets teams build and organize ideas together with Claude, including timelines and deadlines. A completed board can be turned into a document or slide deck. The beta is available to paid-plan users on web, desktop and mobile, and can also be used during Meetings.
Claude Sheets creates and edits spreadsheets with teams. It can set up tools such as campaign trackers and hiring budgets, with tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdown menus. Claude makes changes directly in cells and describes what it changed. Sheets is also in beta for paid users across web, desktop and mobile.
Anthropic said Claude Data, previously called Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. It connects Claude to company data systems, including warehouses and CRMs, and can produce dashboards, written analysis or narrated videos in response to questions. New interactive connectors also let users open services such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot within Claude conversations.
The launch extends Anthropic’s products to workers beyond software developers, as AI companies compete to build tools for everyday office work. The company is also seeking to increase product use and revenue ahead of a potential public offering.
