Anthropic launches Claude Meetings for live video calls

Anthropic's new workplace features arrive just a few weeks after OpenAI unveiled a series of workplace tools that let users collaborate with ChatGPT on tasks like visualizing company information and creating presentations. Both companies are competing to turn their products into office suites of sorts to take on Microsoft and Google, and Meta is also joining the competition with its Muse AI agent, which can build mini-apps on the fly to help users complete specific tasks.

Beyond Claude Meetings, Anthropic introduced Claude Whiteboards, a collaborative board where teams can talk through a plan and have Claude turn it into an organized visual workspace with timelines and deadlines. The company notes that many people already brainstorm with Claude, but to share results they would have to copy-paste them elsewhere; now a team can work directly with Claude on the same board in real time. When the brainstorm is done, Claude can turn the board into a doc or a slide deck, and Whiteboards also work inside Claude Meetings so the board builds while people talk.

Anthropic also launched Claude Sheets, which lets teams create and collaboratively edit spreadsheets with Claude, handling initial setup of trackers and budgets while making edits directly in cells and outlining each change. Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, is now generally available, connecting Claude to systems like a data warehouse or CRM and responding with dashboards, written data stories or narrated videos. Interactive connectors also open full versions of apps like Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude, bringing existing workflows into the same workspace.
