Anthropic brings Claude into spreadsheets, whiteboards and meetings: Sheets and Whiteboards in beta on paid plans, Claude Data generally available
Anthropic expanded Claude from a chat window into a shared workplace on November 10. Claude Sheets is a native spreadsheet teams can build and edit with Claude — tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, with each edit outlined so changes can be tracked — and Claude Whiteboards is a shared board where Claude groups scattered ideas by theme and lays them out as timelines and plans that can become documents or decks. Both are in beta on all paid plans across web, desktop and mobile; Anthropic itself calls Sheets' functionality 'simple' for now.
Claude Data, the renamed Claude Dashboards, is now generally available to all paid plans after an October beta. On Team plans Sheets, Whiteboards and Data are on by default; on Enterprise plans Sheets and Whiteboards start off, and Data turns on by default on November 19.
The fourth piece is the murkiest. TechCrunch reports Claude Meetings — Claude joining a Google Meet call as a visible participant, posting a notice in chat, answering questions, drafting plans during the call and saving notes and action items to claude.ai afterwards — is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans. Anthropic's own follow-up article still labels Meetings 'coming soon,' so do not count on it being switched on for a given account today. Meetings will not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it, and it leaves automatically if an unapproved external guest joins.
