Claude Meetings adds Claude to a video call as a visible participant. While people talk, it can draft the plan being discussed, map out a timeline on a shared board, answer questions in the meeting chat and pull figures from connected work apps. After the call, the notes, action items and materials it created are saved in claude.ai. According to Anthropic, Claude announces itself in the chat, does not join calls with external guests unless an admin allows it, and leaves automatically if an external guest joins. At launch it works only with Google Meet and is open in beta to Team and Enterprise plans.
Claude Sheets lets teams build and edit spreadsheets together with Claude: it sets up a tracker or a budget on request, with multiple tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdown menus, and lists every change it makes in the cells. Claude Whiteboards is a shared board where a team works with Claude in real time, and the result can be turned into a document or a slide deck. Both are in beta for all paid plans, on web, desktop and mobile.
In addition, Claude Data (launched in beta in October as Claude Dashboards) is now generally available to all paid plans. It connects to data warehouses and CRM systems and answers questions with dashboards, written summaries or narrated videos. The new interactive connectors open the full version of apps such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude, for example an Adobe PDF editor.
The launch comes a few weeks after OpenAI showed similar tools for working together with ChatGPT, and as Anthropic moves toward its IPO. According to The Verge, these are among the company's first products built specifically for workers who are not developers. Anthropic has not said when video platforms other than Google Meet will be supported.
