Anthropic takes on Microsoft and Google with Claude Sheets, Whiteboards and Meetings
Claude can now build spreadsheets, sketch plans on shared boards and sit in on Google Meet calls, days before Anthropic's IPO.
- Meetings: Google Meet only at launch
- Sheets, Whiteboards: beta on paid plans
- Claude Data now generally available
What's new
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit multi-tab spreadsheets with formulas and dropdowns, and Claude keeps a log of every change it makes. Whiteboards is a shared canvas where Claude turns ideas into timelines, which can then become a document or slide deck. Claude Data, earlier called Dashboards, builds reports from company databases and CRMs.
Claude joins your meeting
With Claude Meetings, the assistant enters a video call as a visible participant, drafts plans as people talk and hands over notes and action items afterwards. It works only with Google Meet for now, and will not join calls with outside guests unless an admin allows it.
Who gets it
Sheets and Whiteboards are in beta on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile. Meetings is in beta for Team and Enterprise customers, while Claude Data is generally available.
