Overview
- Anthropic announced on Tuesday that Claude now includes Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta, a preview of Claude Meetings, and that Claude Data has moved to general availability.
- Claude Meetings can join Google Meet calls as a visible participant, follow conversation in real time, take notes, act on tasks during the call, post a notice in chat, and will not stay in calls with unapproved external guests unless an admin authorizes it.
- Claude Sheets and Whiteboards let teams build and edit spreadsheets and shared boards with Claude in real time, but product leads call Sheets a “fairly basic” experience that lacks advanced features such as pivot tables and protected ranges.
- Claude Data connects to CRMs and data warehouses to produce dashboards, narrated data stories, and videos, while certified queries and live-sharing remain in beta so some data-governance controls are still being refined.
- New interactive connectors let partner apps such as Adobe, Atlassian, HubSpot, Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday open inside Claude and let the assistant act with user approval under existing permissions and admin controls, a move that could deepen enterprise use and sharpen competition with Microsoft and Google.
