Künstliche Intelligenz: Anthropic macht Microsoft Konkurrenz bei Bürosoftware

Anthropic, a company specializing in artificial intelligence, is developing Claude, an AI system designed to function as an office tool. On Tuesday, the company unveiled three new programs in San Francisco. Claude Meetings enables users to participate in video conferences on Google Meet, while the program automatically records minutes, responds to chat queries, and begins work even as participants continue discussing.

Claude Sheets is a separate spreadsheet, and Claude Whiteboards is a digital whiteboard where teams can gather ideas. Anthropic's chief product officer, Ami Vora, stated, "For years, we have oriented ourselves around software. Now, Claude will orient itself around you." The goal is to provide office workers with the same productivity improvements that programmers have already experienced with new AI tools.

The plan is to allow "knowledge workers," such as managers and lawyers, to delegate entire tasks to Claude, similar to how developers use the coding tool Claude Code. Anthropic addresses weaknesses in its own office assistant, Cowork, which launched in January and resulted in a sellout of software shares. Nicholas Lin, who oversees Anthropic's knowledge work products, explained to the Handelsblatt that Cowork has always felt like a chat interface for programmers to users. The main challenge has been the learning curve and the difficulty of introducing Cowork to users.
