Anthropic adds meeting, spreadsheet and whiteboard tools to Claude
Anthropic has added new workplace tools to its Claude AI assistant, including a video-call helper, spreadsheets and digital whiteboards.
Claude Meetings can join a video call, follow the discussion and draft plans, answer questions in the chat or gather information from connected work apps.
It can also build a timeline on a whiteboard as people talk, and meeting notes and tasks are available afterward.
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit spreadsheets with Claude, while Whiteboards can turn group ideas into documents or slide decks.
Anthropic says the tools are aimed at helping office workers, as AI companies compete to offer workplace software that can challenge Microsoft and Google.
The new tools are in beta on paid plans, with Meetings initially working with Google Meet; Anthropic says support for more meeting platforms is expected.
Claude Data, which connects to company data systems to create dashboards and other explanations, is now generally available.
Anthropic announced a set of workplace features that expand Claude into spreadsheets, collaborative whiteboards, data analysis and video meetings.
Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are available in beta on paid plans, while Claude Data is generally available.
Claude Meetings is planned as a beta feature that can join video calls and work on tasks while participants are talking.
Anthropic also expanded interactive connectors so users can open and work with some external apps inside Claude.
The launches add to competition among AI companies seeking to make their products workplace productivity suites.
