Anthropic targets workplace collaboration with Claude Meetings

Anthropic has expanded Claude's productivity and collaboration features with Claude Meetings, a tool designed for workplace use. This new feature allows users to add Claude to video meetings, where it can take notes, answer questions, retrieve connected app information, and generate project plans. Claude Meetings is currently accessible only in Google Meet, though Anthropic has not provided further details.
Analyst Irwin Lazar described Claude Meetings as adding value to meeting workflows, similar to existing tools like Microsoft Teams' Copilot. However, Anthropic is unlikely to venture into broader collaboration and communication software, focusing instead on tasks it can accomplish with existing capabilities. For IT teams implementing Claude Meetings, obtaining participants' consent according to local laws and company policies is recommended.
The new tools are in beta for paid Claude plans and include Claude Whiteboard for brainstorming, Claude Sheets for collaborative spreadsheets, and Claude Data for creating interactive visual charts and reports. These features are included in paid Claude subscriptions and offer users direct access to third-party applications.
