Anthropic launches workplace AI tools

Highlights

Anthropic launched Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Sheets, expanding its enterprise-focused AI productivity tools with wider access to Claude Data and new app connectors.
Claude Meetings, now in beta for Team and Enterprise plans with Google Meet support, enables teams to collaborate with Claude in real-time during video calls and integrate with work applications.
Anthropic's release follows OpenAI's recent collaborative workplace feature rollout and positions it to compete with Microsoft, Google, and Meta in the rapidly intensifying AI office software market.

Enterprise feature rollout targets real-time collaboration

As first reported by TechCrunch, Anthropic announced on Tuesday a set of new workplace features including Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Sheets, alongside wider access to Claude Data and new app connectors.

Claude Meetings lets teams add Claude to a video call as a visible participant so it can begin working during the discussion itself. While participants talk, the assistant can draft a plan, build a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat, and pull information from connected work apps, including prior figures. After the call, the notes, action items, and other materials it creates remain available in claude.ai.

Anthropic says the tool is designed to shift meeting follow-up work into the meeting itself. Claude identifies itself in the call and posts a notice in the chat; it does not join calls with external guests unless an administrator authorizes it, and it leaves automatically if an external guest joins.

Claude Meetings is launching in beta for Team and Enterprise plans. At launch it works with Google Meet, and Anthropic expects support for additional plans to follow.

Competition intensifies in AI office software

Anthropic is introducing the new tools weeks after OpenAI unveiled workplace features aimed at collaboration with ChatGPT, including tools for visualizing company information and creating presentations. The releases show how major AI groups are competing to turn their products into broader office platforms that challenge Microsoft and Google, while Meta is also entering the segment with its Muse AI agent.

Claude Whiteboards is positioned as a collaborative visual workspace where teams can discuss a plan and have Claude organize it into timelines and deadlines. Claude Sheets extends that approach to spreadsheets, allowing teams to ask the assistant to create items such as a campaign tracker or hiring budget, then edit cells directly alongside users while outlining each change it makes.

Anthropic also says Claude Data, formerly called Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. The feature connects Claude to enterprise systems such as data warehouses and CRM tools, enabling users to request dashboards, written data narratives, or narrated videos.

In addition, the company announced interactive connectors that open full versions of apps such as Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot inside Claude. Anthropic says the setup lets teams use those applications alongside Claude conversations and ask the assistant to operate within existing workflows from the same workspace.
