## Summary

Anthropic announced Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Sheets, beta tools aimed at workers who do not necessarily work in programming. In Meetings, Claude joins video calls as a visible participant, follows the conversation, drafts plans, creates timelines on a whiteboard, answers questions in chat, and retrieves information from connected apps; afterward, notes and action items are available in claude.ai. The feature is available on Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet at launch. It will not join calls with external guests without an administrator’s authorization and leaves automatically if an external guest joins.

Whiteboards turns discussions into collaborative visual workspaces and can generate documents or slide decks; Sheets creates and edits spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, and dropdown menus. Both are in beta on paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile. Anthropic also made Claude Data, formerly known as Claude Dashboards, generally available on paid plans and announced interactive connectors for using apps such as Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot inside Claude.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

The tools extend Claude’s use to meetings, documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, with access to connected apps. Restrictions on joining calls with external guests and the need for administrator authorization suggest that team adoption will depend on access controls as well as workplace utility.
