Anthropic unveiled a suite of new workplace-oriented capabilities on Tuesday, headlined by Claude Meetings—a feature that places Claude directly into video calls so it can start tackling tasks while discussion is still underway. Alongside it, the company introduced Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets. The rollout lands only weeks after OpenAI revealed a set of workplace tools enabling users to collaborate with ChatGPT on things like visualizing company information and building presentations—part of a broader contest to transform their products into office-style suites capable of challenging Microsoft and Google. Meta is entering the fray as well, with its Muse AI agent that can spin up mini-apps on the fly to help users complete specific tasks.

With Claude Meetings, teams can add Claude to a video call as a visible participant. Claude tracks the conversation and begins working on tasks in real time. While participants talk, it can draft the plan under discussion, lay out a timeline on a whiteboard, respond to questions in the meeting chat, and tap into connected work apps to pull information—such as last year's figures. Once the call ends, meeting notes, action items, and other materials Claude produced are available in claude.ai. Typically, work stemming from a meeting begins only after everyone hangs up, but this new feature lets teams convert discussions into actions in real time, according to Anthropic. Claude identifies itself as a meeting participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat. It won't join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it, and it will automatically leave if an external guest joins. Claude Meetings is launching in beta on Team and Enterprise plans. At launch, it works with Google Meet, with support for additional plans expected to follow.

As for Claude Whiteboards, Anthropic describes it as a collaborative board where teams can talk through a plan and have Claude transform it into an organized visual workspace complete with timelines and deadlines. The company notes that many people already brainstorm with Claude, but to share results with others they'd have to copy-paste them elsewhere. Now a team can work directly with Claude on the same board in real time. When the brainstorm wraps up, Claude can convert the board into a doc or a slide deck. Whiteboards also function inside Claude Meetings, so the board builds while people talk, Anthropic says. Claude Whiteboards is available in beta on paid plans, across web, desktop, and mobile.

The company also launched Claude Sheets, which lets teams create and collaboratively edit spreadsheets with Claude. A team can ask it to build a campaign tracker or hiring budget, and Claude will generate a working spreadsheet.

Anthropic says Claude handles the initial setup of trackers and budgets while allowing teams to keep refining and updating the same spreadsheet. Each spreadsheet can include multiple tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown menus. Claude also makes edits directly in cells alongside the team and outlines each change so users can see what it did. Claude Sheets is available in beta on paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile.

Anthropic further announced that Claude Data, formerly known as Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. The feature connects Claude to systems companies use to track their numbers, such as a data warehouse or CRM. Users can ask questions, and Claude responds with dashboards, written data stories, or narrated videos. In addition, the company announced interactive connectors that open the full version of apps like Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot inside Claude. Anthropic notes that teams can now open these apps directly alongside their Claude conversations and ask the assistant to work within them—essentially bringing existing workflows into the same workspace.
