giftdetect· the right gift in minutesAnthropic has launched Claude Meetings, a feature that adds Claude to video calls as a visible participant and lets it start working on tasks while the conversation is still going. The company also introduced Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets on Tuesday.
As participants talk, Claude can draft the plan under discussion, map out a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat and pull information such as last year's figures from connected work apps. Afterwards, meeting notes, action items and other materials it created are available in claude.ai. Anthropic argues that work from a meeting usually begins only after everyone hangs up, and that the feature lets teams turn discussion into action in real time.
Claude announces itself as a participant with a notice in the meeting chat. It will not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it, and it leaves automatically if an external guest joins. Claude Meetings is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet at launch, with more platforms expected.
Whiteboards, Sheets and data
Claude Whiteboards is a shared board where a team can talk through a plan and have Claude turn it into an organized workspace with timelines and deadlines. Once the brainstorm is done, Claude can convert the board into a doc or slide deck. Whiteboards also work inside Meetings, so the board builds as people speak.
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit spreadsheets together with Claude, such as a campaign tracker or hiring budget. Sheets can have multiple tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdown menus, and Claude edits cells alongside the team and outlines each change. Both features are in beta on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile.
Anthropic also made Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, generally available. It connects to systems such as data warehouses or CRMs and answers with dashboards, written data stories or narrated videos. New interactive connectors open the full versions of apps like Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude.
The release comes weeks after OpenAI unveiled similar workplace tools for ChatGPT, as AI companies race to build office suites that rival Microsoft and Google. Meta is also competing with its Muse AI agent.
