Anthropic launches Claude Sheets, Whiteboards and Meetings to take on the office suite
Anthropic has launched Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta on all paid plans, made Claude Data generally available, and introduced Claude Meetings in beta for Team and Enterprise, letting Claude join Google Meet calls and work on tasks while people talk.
Anthropic has launched Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta and made Claude Data, previously called Claude Dashboards, generally available on all paid plans[1]. It also introduced Claude Meetings, which puts Claude into video calls so it can start on tasks while people are still talking[3].
The aim, Anthropic says, is to keep documents, boards, sheets and dashboards inside Claude, where it can follow changes live, instead of copying output into other tools[1].

Sheets, Whiteboards and Data
Claude Sheets builds spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, often from a single prompt such as a campaign tracker or hiring budget. Claude edits directly in cells and outlines each change so teams can track what it did[1]. Anthropic says the feature set is simple for now; files can be exported to .xlsx or CSV, or moved to partner tools including Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet[1].
Claude Whiteboards turns a spoken or messy plan into a shared board with a timeline, owners and dates. In a retro, Claude can group notes by theme and draft action items, and the finished board can become a doc or deck, or move into Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho[1].
Claude Data connects to sources such as Snowflake and Salesforce and can use definitions certified by a data team to build dashboards, data stories or narrated short videos[2]. Anthropic also upgraded interactive connectors so partner apps can be used inside Claude[2].

Claude Meetings
With Claude Meetings, a team adds Claude to a call as a visible participant. It can draft the plan being discussed, map a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat and pull figures from connected work apps. Notes, action items and other material it produces are then available in claude.ai[3].
Claude announces itself in the meeting chat, will not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorises it, and leaves automatically if an external guest joins. Meetings is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and supports Google Meet at launch[3].

Availability
Sheets, Whiteboards and Data work on web, desktop and mobile; Data needs a connector such as a warehouse or CRM. On Team plans all three are on by default. On Enterprise plans Sheets and Whiteboards start off, and Claude Data switches on by default on 19 November 2026[1].

Why it matters
Anthropic is moving Claude from a chat window that produces files into a workspace where the files live. That puts it in more direct competition with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for everyday office work, while still offering exports and partner integrations for teams that are not ready to switch.
