Künstliche Intelligenz: Anthropic macht Microsoft Konkurrenz bei Bürosoftware

San Francisco-based company Anthropic is positioning its artificial intelligence (AI) system, named Claude, as a rival to Microsoft's offerings in office software. On Tuesday, Anthropic unveiled new programs aimed at providing office employees with productivity improvements comparable to those experienced by software developers thanks to advanced AI tools.

The head of Anthropic, Ami Vora, explained this goal, emphasizing the company's ambition to extend Claude's capabilities into general office and knowledge work. The primary focus of the presentation was three innovations: Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets, and Claude Whiteboards.

Claude Meetings functions as an active participant in video conferences, recording proceedings, responding to chat queries, and initiating tasks while participants continue their discussions. It drafts agendas or documents based on recent team discussions. Claude Sheets is a standalone spreadsheet software, similar to Microsoft Excel.

Additionally, Claude Whiteboards offer a digital whiteboard experience where teams can gather and organize ideas. A recently launched analysis tool, rebranded as Claude Data in October, is now available to the public. This tool integrates Claude with databases to generate dashboards or audio-visual explanatory videos.
