Anthropic on Tuesday broadened its push from coding into corporate work, unveiling tools designed to put Claude inside meetings, brainstorms and spreadsheets as they happen.

The centerpiece, Claude Meetings, lets Team and Enterprise customers add the assistant to Google Meet as a visible participant. It can take notes, answer chat questions, pull material from connected work apps and begin drafting plans, timelines and follow-up tasks before the call ends. Anthropic said the goal is to turn the usual post-meeting scramble into real-time output: Claude can “start on the work while people are still talking.”¹

The rollout follows roughly two months of internal testing, according to Nicholas Lin, Anthropic’s product lead for knowledge work. Claude is now in nearly all of the company’s meetings, he said, though it mostly waits for prompts for now. The company expects it to become more proactive. Lin framed the ambition bluntly: developers have been able to work “at the speed of thought,” and Anthropic wants knowledge workers to do the same.¹

Alongside Meetings, Anthropic launched beta versions of Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets for paid users. Whiteboards turn a spoken, messy planning session into a shared workspace with owners, dates and timelines; Sheets lets teams build and edit trackers, budgets and other spreadsheets with Claude working directly in cells. After a brainstorm, Whiteboards can also produce a document or slide deck.²

The company also made Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, broadly available and expanded connectors that let users work in apps such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot without leaving Claude. That puts Anthropic in a widening contest with Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and Meta to own the AI-enabled office.³

For Anthropic, the pitch is an active teammate rather than a faster email writer. The risk, as one account of the launch noted, is that companies may instead get “mayhem” or spend heavily on AI-generated work that nobody uses.³
