Anthropic launches Claude Meetings, Sheets and Whiteboards
Anthropic adds Claude Meetings, Sheets and Whiteboards in beta to handle calls, spreadsheets and brainstorming for paid users.
TL;DR
- Claude Meetings joins Google Meet calls on Team and Enterprise plans to take notes and build plans in real time.
- Claude Sheets and Whiteboards let paid users create and edit spreadsheets and boards with Claude.
- Claude Data is now generally available and new connectors open apps like Adobe inside Claude.
Anthropic just dropped three new tools aimed at everyday office work. Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards are all in beta and meant to turn the usual meeting-and-spreadsheet grind into something Claude can handle alongside you.
Claude Meetings joins the call
In Google Meet for now, Claude can show up as a visible participant on Team and Enterprise plans. It listens, drafts plans, builds timelines on a whiteboard, answers questions in chat and pulls info from connected apps. After the call, notes and action items land in claude.ai. It posts a notice when it joins, skips calls with outside guests unless an admin allows it, and leaves if one shows up anyway.
Claude Sheets for the numbers crowd
Teams on paid plans can ask Claude to spin up a campaign tracker or hiring budget. The spreadsheet supports multiple tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdowns. Claude edits cells live and flags every change so everyone sees what it did. Files export to Excel and work with the Google Workspace plugin.
Claude Whiteboards keeps ideas in one place
Paid users get a shared board where Claude groups thoughts by theme and turns them into action items. When the brainstorm ends, it can export the board into a doc or slide deck. The board also builds in real time inside Claude Meetings.
Extra moves
Claude Data, the old Dashboards tool, is now generally available on paid plans and connects to CRMs and data warehouses. New interactive connectors let users open full versions of apps like Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot right inside Claude. The marketplace already lists more than 9,000 plugins.
The Tea
Anthropic is clearly done being the coding-only AI. These tools put it in the same ring as OpenAI and Google for the daily work of non-engineers, right when the company needs real revenue before any IPO talk. The beta limits show it is still testing how far teams will let an AI sit in their meetings and touch their spreadsheets, but the direction is loud and clear.
