Anthropic launches AI tools for meetings, spreadsheets and whiteboards
Anthropic introduced three beta tools for office and knowledge workers at an event in San Francisco on Tuesday, expanding Claude beyond its established focus on enterprise and coding. Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards are designed to help with tasks including note-taking, spreadsheet work and brainstorming.
The tools can join meetings and take notes, let employees develop ideas on a shared whiteboard, and support collaborative spreadsheet editing. Anthropic said users can also turn a presentation into a one-minute explainer video. The releases are new “Artifacts,” the company’s term for its graphical interface, introduced two and a half years after Artifacts first appeared. They join Claude Docs, Slides, Design and Motion.
Claude Whiteboards and Sheets are available to all paid plans, while Meetings is limited to Teams and Enterprise subscribers. Anthropic also said Claude Data, previously called Claude Dashboards when it entered beta in October, is now generally available to all paid plans.
Nicholas Lin, who works on product at Anthropic, told The Verge during a pre-briefing that Claude Code “changed how engineers work a year ago.” The company is now looking to address what he described as “the gap we’re hoping to close” for knowledge workers. “I think there’s still a lot of friction when it comes to adopting AI for non-developers,” Lin said.
Anthropic also announced interactive connectors that let users open partner-company apps, including HubSpot, Adobe and Atlassian, inside Claude.
