Anthropic launched Claude Meetings, a feature that adds Claude to video calls as a visible participant. While the team talks, Claude drafts plans, builds timelines on whiteboards, answers questions in the chat, and pulls data from connected work apps. After the call ends, all notes, action items, and materials Claude created remain available in claude.ai.
The feature ships alongside Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets. Claude Meetings works by listening to conversations and acting on them in real time. If a team discusses a product launch timeline, Claude maps it visually on a whiteboard during the call. If someone asks about last year’s revenue numbers,
Claude retrieves them from connected apps and drops the figures into the chat. Because the AI starts working before anyone hangs up, Anthropic argues that it eliminates the gap between a meeting ending and the actual work beginning.
Privacy controls limit how Claude participates. It identifies itself as a meeting participant and posts a notice in the chat. It does not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it.
If an external guest joins unexpectedly, Claude automatically leaves. The feature launches in beta on Team and Enterprise plans with Google Meet integration. Support for additional platforms is expected later.
Claude Whiteboards adds a collaborative visual workspace where teams brainstorm alongside the AI. Multiple people work on the same board in real time while Claude organizes ideas into structured layouts. When the brainstorm finishes, Claude converts the board into a document or slide deck.
Whiteboards also function inside Claude Meetings, so the board builds live as people talk. The feature is available in beta on paid plans across web, desktop, and mobile.
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit spreadsheets collaboratively with Claude. Users ask it to build a campaign tracker or hiring budget, and Claude generates a working spreadsheet with multiple tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown menus.
Claude also edits individual cells alongside the team and outlines every change it makes. This feature is also available in beta on paid plans.
Anthropic also announced that Claude Data, previously called Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. Additionally, new interactive connectors bring apps like Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot directly into the Claude workspace. The launch positions Anthropic squarely against OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta in the race to build AI-powered office suites.
