Anthropic now has its own AI-powered office suite
Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, has unveiled a set of office tools for knowledge workers: a meeting assistant, spreadsheets, and a shared whiteboard.
What's new
Anthropic, known for its tools for large companies and programmers, has introduced its first products for people who work with documents, meetings, and numbers but don't write code. The presentation took place on Tuesday in San Francisco.
The new tools are called Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets, and Claude Whiteboards. Claude Meetings can join a meeting and take notes. Claude Sheets helps colleagues edit spreadsheets together. Claude Whiteboards lets people lay out ideas on a shared board. There is also a feature that turns a presentation into a one-minute explainer video.
Who can use them and how
Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are still in beta and are available on all paid plans. Claude Meetings is available only for Teams and Enterprise plans, meaning teams and large companies.
Claude Data, formerly known as Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October, is now available to all paid users. It is designed for working with metrics.
Connecting other apps
The company has added interactive connections to third-party services, including HubSpot, Adobe, and Atlassian. Their apps can now be opened directly inside Claude, without switching tabs. For example, users can access Adobe's PDF editor or HubSpot's marketing campaign tracker.
According to product team member Nicholas Lin, Claude Cowork, which already existed, was aimed at the technical part of Anthropic's non-technical audience, so the company now wants to reach everyone else.
Competition
Other companies already offer similar features. Google's Gemini can join meetings and take live notes, and OpenAI's ChatGPT in some cases has a recording feature. Anthropic is now trying to catch up with competitors and gain ground in the race for AI agents that carry out tasks on their own.
