Anthropic adds spreadsheets and a shared whiteboard to Claude, moving its AI deeper into office work
San Francisco-based Anthropic says teams can now build spreadsheets, whiteboards and dashboards together with Claude. A feature that puts Claude into video calls is coming soon.
Anthropic, the San Francisco company behind the Claude chatbot, on Tuesday added tools that let teams build spreadsheets, whiteboards and data dashboards together with its AI, the company said in an announcement.
The move puts Claude closer to the office software most workers already use, such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets for spreadsheets or online whiteboard apps for brainstorming. Instead of typing formulas or arranging sticky notes by hand, a user describes what they need and Claude builds a first version that the team can then edit together. Anthropic calls these finished pieces of work “artifacts.” Claude could already create documents, slide decks and designs.
What is new
- Claude Sheets: teams and Claude build spreadsheets together, organize data, create and edit formulas and work across multiple tabs.
- Claude Whiteboards: a digital whiteboard where a team lays out ideas in a meeting and then asks Claude to summarize what it found.
- Claude Data, formerly called Dashboards: connects to business data systems such as Snowflake and Salesforce and turns the numbers into dashboards, written data stories or short narrated videos.
- Interactive connectors: partner companies can now run their apps inside Claude, so users can work in Adobe or Atlassian, a maker of workplace software, without switching browser tabs.
Anthropic said Claude Meetings, which will let a team add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents during the conversation, is “coming soon.”
Why it matters
Claude connects to other apps through MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, an open standard Anthropic introduced for linking AI to other software. Anthropic says its marketplace now lists more than 9,000 such connectors and add-ons. The more apps Claude can reach, the more it can do on a worker’s behalf, which is why companies also want controls. On Enterprise plans, administrators decide who can use which tools and can limit what a connector does; for example, Claude might be allowed to read Slack messages but not send them, Anthropic says.
Anthropic did not list prices for the new tools in its announcement.
