Anthropic introduced a suite of new productivity features on Tuesday, highlighted by Claude Meetings. This tool integrates Claude directly into video calls, allowing the AI to handle tasks like drafting plans and timelines while the conversation is still ongoing. The offering also includes Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets.
The introduction of these features places Anthropic in direct competition with OpenAI and Meta. While OpenAI focuses on collaboration with ChatGPT for visualization and presentations, and Meta has launched the Muse AI agent for on-the-fly app building, Anthropic aims to build a comprehensive office suite to rival Microsoft and Google.
Claude Meetings functions as a visible participant in video calls. It can draft plans, create timelines on whiteboards, answer questions, and pull data from connected apps. The results of these interactions are automatically saved in claude.ai.
The company notes that by automating the transition from discussion to action, teams can work more efficiently. The AI identifies itself as a meeting participant and notifies the chat, though it restricts access to external guests unless authorized by an administrator.
Claude Meetings is currently in beta for Team and Enterprise plans and supports Google Meet, with additional platforms expected later.
Claude Whiteboards allows teams to brainstorm visually with Claude in real time. Previously, users had to copy results elsewhere, but now they can collaborate directly. Once the brainstorm is complete, Claude can convert the board into a document or slide deck. This feature is available in beta on paid plans across web, desktop, and mobile.
Claude Sheets enables teams to create and edit spreadsheets collaboratively with the assistant. Users can request trackers or budgets, and Claude generates the initial structure. It allows for multiple tabs, formulas, and direct cell editing, outlining every change made.
Claude Sheets is also in beta on paid plans for web, desktop, and mobile. Additionally, Claude Data, previously known as Dashboards, is now generally available. This feature connects to data warehouses and CRMs to generate dashboards, stories, and videos.
Anthropic further announced interactive connectors for apps like Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot. This allows teams to open these apps directly within Claude conversations, streamlining workflows into a single workspace.
