Claude Sheets, Meetings, and Whiteboards are the latest additions Anthropic is using to take Claude beyond coding and chat. The company unveiled them on November 10 at an event in San Francisco: a tool for creating and editing spreadsheets, another that participates in video calls, and a collaborative whiteboard for organizing ideas and plans.
The three features are part of Anthropic’s expansion of its products for office work. Claude Sheets and Whiteboards are available in beta to paid users on web, desktop, and mobile. Meetings is also arriving in beta, but initial access is limited to Team and Enterprise plans and Google Meet. The company has said it plans to add other plans to Meetings.
The presentation also included the general availability of Claude Data, formerly called Claude Dashboards, and an update to interactive connectors that open third-party applications inside Claude. Together, the products are intended to let teams move from a conversation to a spreadsheet, whiteboard, or data dashboard without manually transferring their work to another tool.
Spreadsheets Claude creates and edits alongside the team
Claude Sheets lets users request a spreadsheet based on an instruction, such as a campaign tracker or hiring budget. Anthropic says Claude can create tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown menus; afterward, the team can continue working on the same file with the assistant.
People with editing permission can also modify the spreadsheet. When Claude changes cells, it records its edits so collaborators can review what it did. The idea is not limited to generating a one-time template: the company envisions teams updating and refining the document alongside the model.
For now, Anthropic describes Sheets’ functionality as basic and says it is working to expand it. When full Excel functionality is needed, files can be exported as .xlsx or CSV, or work can continue in Claude for Excel. The company also mentions the option of continuing the work with Airtable, Asana, monday.com, and Smartsheet.
Engadget notes that files can be exported to Excel and that Sheets is compatible with Anthropic’s Google Workspace add-on. Anthropic says the feature is available on all paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile; the launch is a beta, not a final release.
Claude joins meetings, with access limits
Claude Meetings is designed to accompany video calls and turn what is discussed into work materials. At launch, it works with Google Meet. Claude appears as a visible participant, follows the conversation, and can take notes, answer questions in the meeting chat, and consult connected applications to retrieve information, such as figures from the previous year.
During the call, it can draft a plan, propose a timeline on a whiteboard, and start working on tasks while people continue talking. Once the meeting ends, the notes, action items, and other generated materials are available on claude.ai. TechCrunch describes the goal as moving from discussion to tasks without waiting for everyone to hang up.
The feature has a specific restriction for meetings with external guests. Claude identifies itself as a participant and posts a notice in the chat; it will not join if there are external guests unless an administrator authorizes it, and it will leave the call if one joins. Anthropic does not present Meetings as a feature available to all customers: the initial beta is for Team and Enterprise.
Availability was announced in two different ways. TechCrunch and Engadget describe Meetings as launched in beta, while Anthropic’s corporate announcement about other updates says Claude Meetings is coming soon. The access scope detailed by the publications is Team and Enterprise, with Google Meet as the initial platform and support for other plans expected later.
A whiteboard that can become a document or presentation
Claude Whiteboards organizes brainstorming sessions in a shared space. The team can lay out a plan, and Claude turns it into a visual board with timelines, owners, and dates. In a retrospective, for example, it can group notes by topic and suggest actions for each person.
Collaborators can focus on an area of the board and ask questions about it. When the session ends, Claude can turn the result into a document or presentation. Anthropic also offers the option of moving the board to partner tools such as Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho to continue working there.
The whiteboard can be used alongside Meetings: according to Anthropic, content is built as the conversation unfolds. This integration connects the discussion on a call with the visual plan the team takes away, rather than treating notes and brainstorming as separate tasks.
Whiteboards is in beta for paid customers and works on web, desktop, and mobile. TechCrunch adds that teams can work on the same board in real time and that Claude can turn it into a document or presentation; the company also describes the option of taking the result to other collaborative applications.
Claude Data and connectors expand the workspace
Anthropic renamed Claude Dashboards to Claude Data and made it generally available on all paid plans. The product connects Claude to the systems where companies store their data, including data warehouses and CRM systems. Platforms mentioned by the company include Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse; its partners for Claude Data include Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, and Sigma.
Claude Data can answer questions through dashboards, written stories based on data, or narrated videos. Anthropic also announced certified queries and live sharing in beta. Data teams can certify queries that should serve as common metric definitions; charts based on them display a certification badge.
With live sharing, people who open a shared dashboard can see updated figures even if they do not have access to the connectors that keep them current. Anthropic specifies that these people see results from approved queries and cannot run other queries using the owner’s permissions. Claude Data also adds support for design systems, caching, configurable refresh frequencies for each dashboard, and a change history with the option to revert to a specific version.
The company is also rolling out interactive connectors. These let users open full applications alongside their conversation with Claude or in full screen, so they can work in them without switching tabs. Anthropic mentions Adobe, Atlassian, Box, and Notion in its corporate announcement; Engadget identifies Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot among the initial rollout partners. The Verge cites examples such as an Adobe native PDF editor and a HubSpot campaign tracker.
Claude Marketplace already brings together more than 9,000 connectors and add-ons, according to Anthropic and Engadget. The new feature lets Claude act inside the open application, rather than just retrieve information from a connected service. Anthropic says the update is starting with a small group of partners, including Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot.
The push to reach workers who don’t code
Anthropic presents these tools as an extension of the way teams already use Claude to brainstorm and produce materials, but the expansion also puts it in more direct competition with Microsoft and Google. TechCrunch places the launch in a race to turn AI assistants into office suites; it mentions OpenAI tools for collaborating with ChatGPT and Meta’s entry with its Muse agent.
The Verge links the strategy to Anthropic’s effort to reach knowledge workers who are not developers. Nicholas Lin, who works in product at Anthropic, told the publication that the company is trying to close the gap between engineers’ use of Claude and its adoption by other professionals.
“I think there’s still a lot of friction when it comes to adopting AI for non-developers.”

The company already offers documents, presentations, design, and Motion, its beta tool for turning content into short animations, according to The Verge and Anthropic’s announcement. The new whiteboards, spreadsheets, and dashboards add to those formats. The product promise is to preserve a team’s context as it moves from an idea to different kinds of work products, although Anthropic does not present a single application that completely replaces existing office tools.
The timing comes at a moment of commercial pressure for the company. The Verge links the product expansion to the search for more revenue and usage ahead of a possible IPO, as well as investor expectations for a path to profitability. Yahoo Finance reports that Anthropic began its roadshow ahead of an initial public offering that could take place on November 19 or 20, and that its valuation could reach $1.4 trillion.
Yahoo Finance also reported that Microsoft shares fell more than 2% after the announcements and noted that earlier enterprise initiatives from Anthropic had coincided with drops in the share prices of Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Intuit. The same publication put Anthropic’s revenue at $33.2 billion during the first nine months of the year, through September 30, compared with $16.3 billion in the first half and sales of $4.6 billion for all of 2025. These figures put the enterprise software push at the center of the company’s expansion; they are not a direct measure of the impact of each newly announced product.
For now, Sheets and Whiteboards remain in beta for paid customers; Meetings is starting with Google Meet and Team and Enterprise plans, and Anthropic expects to expand the compatible plans. In Enterprise, Whiteboards and Sheets are disabled by default, while Claude Data will be enabled by default on November 19, 2026, according to Anthropic’s documentation. Administrators can change this setting in the organization’s settings.
