Anthropic has introduced several new features for Claude to enhance productivity in the workplace. Claude can now join video meetings as a participant, taking notes, drafting plans, and utilizing connected work apps during discussions. These meetings, called Claude Meetings, are still in the beta phase but will soon provide comprehensive notes, action items, and visual aids generated in Claude.ai post-meeting.

Claude Whiteboards is another new tool allowing teams to create shared, real-time boards that transform brainstorming sessions and retrospectives into structured plans, timelines, and action items. The integration with Claude Meetings ensures seamless progress tracking.

For data-centric tasks, Claude Sheets offers collaborative spreadsheet features, including tabs, formulas, and dropdown menus, ideal for budgeting and tracker management. Claude Data, previously known as Claude Dashboards, connects company data sources like CRMs and warehouses to create customizable dashboards, data stories, and narrated videos.

Additionally, new Interactive Connectors enable full versions of popular workplace apps such as Adobe, Atlassian, HubSpot, Salesforce, NetSuite, and Workday to operate within Claude. These connectors can execute actions within these apps upon user approval, respecting existing permissions. The tools are designed to respect user settings, and administrators can monitor productivity and costs through features like Claude auto-connect, usage controls, and Smart Reports.

Claude Meetings, Whiteboards, and Sheets are currently in beta, while Claude Data is generally available.
