Anthropic is extending Claude into everyday office work, with tools designed for people who spend time in meetings, brainstorm with colleagues and analyze metrics. The new offerings bring Claude into tasks such as taking notes, editing spreadsheets and organizing ideas on a shared whiteboard.
Claude moves into office tasks
At an event in San Francisco on Tuesday, Anthropic unveiled Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards. Together, they are intended to help users work across activities that often happen in separate apps: discussing plans, shaping ideas and reviewing data.
Claude Meetings can join a meeting and take notes. Whiteboards offer a shared space to lay out ideas, while Sheets lets Claude edit spreadsheets alongside employees. The tools can also turn a presentation into a one-minute explainer video.
These products are part of Anthropic’s “Artifacts,” its graphical user interface experiences. They join Claude Docs, Slides, Design and Motion, extending the collection that began when Artifacts first debuted two and a half years ago.
Availability varies by product
Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are available in beta to all paid plans. Claude Meetings is also in beta, but is available to Teams and Enterprise subscriptions.
Anthropic also said Claude Data is now generally available to all paid plans. The product was previously known as Claude Dashboards when it was introduced in beta in October.
The different access levels mean the suite is arriving in stages. Individual paid-plan users can try the whiteboard and spreadsheet tools, while meeting support is limited to customers on the named business subscriptions.
Connecting Claude to other apps
Anthropic is also introducing interactive connectors that let users open partner apps within Claude. The company named HubSpot, Adobe and Atlassian as partners. Examples include using a native Adobe PDF editor or viewing a HubSpot marketing campaign tracker inside Claude.
Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol launched about two years ago, and its marketplace has grown to more than 9,000 plugin options. The new connectors represent a push to make those integrations more direct, so users can reach services they use without switching tabs.
That approach puts connected apps alongside Claude’s new office tools. Instead of only generating or editing work inside Claude, users can also access some partner services from the same environment.
A wider audience beyond developers
Anthropic has built a reputation around enterprise and coding products. Claude Code drew attention earlier this year, and the company now says it wants to serve knowledge workers who do not write software as part of their jobs.
Nicholas Lin, who works on product at Anthropic, told The Verge in a pre-briefing that Claude Code “changed how engineers work a year ago.” He described knowledge workers as “the gap we’re hoping to close” and said, “I think there’s still a lot of friction when it comes to adopting AI for non-developers.”
Lin characterized Claude Cowork as a tool for the “technical parts of [Anthropic’s] non-technical audience.” The new products, he said, are intended to expand that reach “toward everybody else.” That signals a shift from tools oriented around engineering toward the broader set of office activities featured in the announcement.
Anthropic enters a field where other AI companies already offer overlapping capabilities. Google’s Gemini can join meetings and take live notes, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT can do so in some cases through its “record” feature. Gemini also supports spreadsheet creation, and Google offers interactive connectors for its office tools. OpenAI has also emphasized integrated apps and connectors for its Dots agents.
For Anthropic, this expansion is also tied to business pressure. The company is seeking more revenue and product engagement ahead of its IPO, which could potentially be the most valuable public debut of all time. Investors, the source reports, are looking for a viable path to profit. The new suite gives Anthropic more ways to bring Claude into workplace routines, while its success will depend on whether those tools become useful enough for people to adopt.
