Anthropic introduced collaborative spreadsheets, whiteboards and data tools for Claude on Tuesday, extending the AI assistant’s workplace features alongside an upgrade that lets partners embed their apps directly inside Claude.
In its November 10 announcement, the company described Claude Sheets as a way for teams and Claude to build and edit spreadsheets together, organize data, create formulas and work across multiple tabs.
Claude Whiteboards provides a shared space for brainstorming and organizing ideas. Teams can add their thinking to a board and ask Claude to summarize the findings, keeping the discussion and its output in the same workspace.
Claude Data, formerly called Dashboards, connects to sources such as Snowflake and Salesforce to create dashboards, visual data stories and narrated short videos. The company says it can use definitions certified by a team’s data specialists, a feature it labels beta.
The interactive-connectors upgrade lets partners embed apps directly in Claude. Anthropic named Adobe and Atlassian among the apps users can work with without switching tabs, describing the change as a way to bring connected tools and their context into the same workflow.
The company also said Claude Meetings is “coming soon.” It described plans for teams to add Claude to a call to take notes and update working documents during the conversation.
Anthropic framed the additions as connected stages of team work: ideas developed on a whiteboard can carry into a spreadsheet or dashboard without repeatedly restating the context. That is the company’s description of the intended workflow, rather than an independent measure of productivity.
