Anthropic announced on Tuesday several new workplace features intended to integrate its Claude assistant directly into team workflows. The company unveiled Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets.
Claude Meetings: Claude as a video call participant
Claude Meetings lets teams add Claude as a visible participant to a video call. The assistant follows the conversation and begins working on tasks in real time: drafting the plan under discussion, mapping a timeline on a whiteboard, answering questions in the meeting chat, and accessing connected work apps to retrieve information such as last year’s figures. After the call, meeting notes, action items and other materials created by Claude are available on claude.ai.
Anthropic says that while work from meetings typically starts after the call ends, Claude Meetings lets discussions turn into actions in real time. Claude identifies itself as a meeting participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat. It will not join calls with external guests without admin authorization, and it will automatically leave if an external guest joins.
Claude Meetings is launching in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and initially works with Google Meet; support for additional platforms is expected later.
Claude Whiteboards: a shared visual workspace
Claude Whiteboards provides a collaborative board where teams can talk through a plan and have Claude convert the discussion into an organized visual workspace with timelines and deadlines. Anthropic notes that many users already brainstorm with Claude but previously had to copy and paste results elsewhere to share them; Whiteboards lets the team work together on the same board in real time.
When the brainstorm is complete, Claude can turn the board into a document or a slide deck. Whiteboards also integrate with Claude Meetings, so the board can build while people talk. Claude Whiteboards is available in beta on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile.
Claude Sheets: collaboratively edited spreadsheets
Claude Sheets enables teams to create and collaboratively edit spreadsheets with Claude. Users can ask it to build things like a campaign tracker or a hiring budget, and Claude will generate a functioning spreadsheet. The assistant handles initial setup while teams continue refining and updating the same sheet; spreadsheets can include multiple tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdown menus. Claude edits cells alongside the team and outlines each change so users can see what it did.
Claude Sheets is available in beta on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile.
Claude Data and interactive connectors
Anthropic also announced that Claude Data, previously known as Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. This feature connects Claude to systems companies use to keep their numbers — such as a data warehouse or CRM — so users can ask questions and receive dashboards, written data stories or narrated videos.
The company additionally introduced interactive connectors that open the full versions of apps like Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude. Anthropic says teams can open these apps alongside their Claude conversations and ask the assistant to work within them, bringing existing workflows into the same workspace.
Why it matters
These launches come amid competition among major AI providers — including OpenAI and Meta — to turn their tools into office-suite–style platforms that can rival Microsoft and Google. Anthropic’s updates emphasize real-time collaboration, aiming to shorten the gap between discussion and actionable work by embedding the assistant directly into meetings and shared documents.
