Anthropic added shared spreadsheet and whiteboard features to Claude in beta and made its business dashboard service generally available as Claude Data on Tuesday, Nov. 10, expanding the assistant’s role in team work.
Claude Sheets lets teams ask the assistant to build spreadsheets with multiple tabs, formulas, cell formatting and dropdowns. Claude can revise entries and mark the changes it makes. Anthropic says Sheets currently handles basic spreadsheet tasks; users can export files as XLSX or CSV or use Claude for Excel for a fuller Excel experience.
Claude Whiteboards gives teams a shared canvas to collect ideas and ask Claude to summarize them. Teams can turn boards into documents or slide presentations, or continue in a partner application, Anthropic said.
Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, is generally available following the service’s October beta. It can create dashboards, data stories and narrated videos, and supports metric definitions that data teams have certified for use in the service. Anthropic names Snowflake and Salesforce as connected services and lists Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma as partners. Live sharing and certified queries remain in beta.
Interactive connectors can open Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion within Claude. Anthropic also lists plugins for Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday; the Salesforce and Workday plugins are in beta.
Anthropic says work in one tool can inform the next as teams move between boards, spreadsheets and dashboards. The rollout adds to the company’s workplace offerings, including its forthcoming Claude Meetings feature, which is designed to turn discussions into notes and edits to work files.
All three products are available on paid plans and enabled by default for Team accounts. Enterprise administrators can govern access to products and connectors, restrict connector actions, set spending limits and review activity in audit logs. Sheets and Whiteboards start off for Enterprise accounts; Claude Data is scheduled to turn on by default Nov. 19.
