Anthropic announced a suite of office productivity tools at an event in San Francisco on Tuesday. The lineup includes Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets, and Claude Whiteboards. The company is now targeting knowledge workers who spend their days in meetings, spreadsheets, and brainstorming sessions.
The tools extend Claude beyond coding and enterprise work. Claude Meetings can join calls and take notes automatically. Claude Whiteboards lets teams lay out ideas on a shared canvas while the model contributes suggestions. Claude Sheets lets the assistant edit spreadsheets alongside employees in real time.
Anthropic also said Claude can turn a presentation into a one-minute explainer video. The new graphical interface, called Artifacts, arrives two and a half years after the feature first debuted. It joins existing products including Claude Docs, Slides, Design, and Motion.
Availability starts in beta today. Whiteboards and Sheets are open to all paid plans. Meetings requires a Teams or Enterprise subscription. Anthropic also made Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, generally available to every paid plan.
Nicholas Lin, who works on product at Anthropic, told The Verge that Claude Code “changed how engineers work a year ago.” He said knowledge workers are now “the gap we’re hoping to close.” Lin added that adoption still faces friction for people outside engineering roles.
The company introduced interactive connectors as well. Users can open apps from partners like HubSpot, Adobe, and Atlassian inside Claude. That turns the assistant into a workspace hub instead of a standalone chat window.
The timing reflects competitive pressure. OpenAI ships ChatGPT agents, Google bundles Gemini into Workspace, and Microsoft pushes Copilot through Office. Anthropic needs a wider footprint ahead of its planned IPO, which the company has discussed publicly.
For small teams, the appeal is consolidation. Instead of paying for a separate AI notetaker, a whiteboard tool, and a spreadsheet assistant, one subscription could cover all three. Whether the beta tools handle messy real-world files remains to be tested.
Anthropic has not published separate pricing for the new products beyond existing plan tiers. The company says more connectors and deeper Office file support are coming over the following months.
