Anthropic's launch event in San Francisco on Tuesday was timed alongside the start of its pre-IPO roadshow, and the new tools are framed as a way to broaden its base of paying customers. Chief Product Officer Ami Vora said Claude has changed coding over the past year, letting engineers delegate entire tasks, while work for most other teams has largely stayed the same. The new products aim to close that gap for knowledge workers.
The suite extends beyond meetings: Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are in beta, while Claude Data became available for paid plans today, and over 9,000 apps are available as Claude Connectors, including Salesforce and Workday. Anthropic is separately moving toward an IPO that could value it at roughly $1.4 trillion, scheduled for as soon as next week, and it debuted new frontier models, Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, this week at a lower price.
