Anthropic launches Claude Meetings to turn workplace discussions into plans and tasks

Anthropic announced new workplace features: Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Sheets. Claude Meetings lets teams add Claude as a visible participant in Google Meet calls; it follows the conversation, drafts plans, maps timelines, answers questions in the meeting chat, and accesses connected work apps to retrieve information. After the call, notes, action items, and materials are available in claude.ai. Claude stays out of calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it, leaving automatically if an external guest joins. Claude Whiteboards is a collaborative board where teams brainstorm with Claude in real time and convert results into docs or slide decks; it also works within Claude Meetings. Claude Sheets lets teams create and collaboratively edit spreadsheets with Claude, which handles initial setup, edits cells directly, and outlines changes. Anthropic also announced that Claude Data (formerly Claude Dashboards) is generally available, connecting to data warehouses and CRMs to provide dashboards, data stories, or narrated videos, and interactive connectors that open full versions of Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot apps inside Claude. These launches come as OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and Google compete to turn AI assistants into office productivity suites.
