Anthropic announced on Tuesday a set of workplace features led by Claude Meetings, which adds its Claude assistant to video calls as a visible participant that follows the discussion and works on tasks while participants are still talking.
Anthropic said Claude can draft the plan under discussion, map a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat and pull information from connected work apps, such as last year's figures. After the call, meeting notes, action items and other materials Claude created are available in claude.ai, the company said.
Claude identifies itself as a participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat, according to Anthropic. It will not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it, and leaves automatically if an external guest joins. The feature is launching in beta on Team and Enterprise plans, works with Google Meet at launch, and support for additional plans is expected to follow, Anthropic said.
Anthropic also described Claude Whiteboards as a collaborative board where teams talk through a plan and Claude turns it into a visual workspace with timelines and deadlines, and said the board can become a document or slide deck. Whiteboards works inside Claude Meetings and is available in beta on paid plans on web, desktop and mobile.
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit spreadsheets with Claude, which handles initial setup of trackers and budgets and makes edits directly in cells while outlining each change, Anthropic said. It is available in beta on paid plans on web, desktop and mobile. Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, is now generally available and connects Claude to systems such as a data warehouse or CRM, answering questions with dashboards, written data stories or narrated videos, the company said.
Anthropic also announced interactive connectors that open the full version of apps such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude, letting teams work within them alongside a conversation.
