Anthropic Launches Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in Beta, Makes Claude Data Available to All Paid Plans
On November 10, Anthropic launched Claude Sheets (spreadsheets) and Claude Whiteboards (collaborative whiteboards) in beta, while rebranding Claude Dashboards as Claude Data, which is now generally available across all paid plans. Claude Meetings, designed to bring Claude into video calls, has been announced by Anthropic as “coming soon.”
After tackling coding, Anthropic is taking on the office suite. On the very same day it launched its IPO roadshow, the developer introduced Claude Sheets, a spreadsheet tool, and Claude Whiteboards, a collaborative whiteboard, both in beta this Tuesday, November 10. Claude Dashboards, initially launched in beta back in October, has been rebranded as Claude Data and transitioned to general availability. All three tools are included across all paid plans on web, desktop, and mobile, according to Anthropic’s announcement.
A Spreadsheet and a Whiteboard Inside the Chat
Claude Sheets builds a spreadsheet from a simple prompt—such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget—complete with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-down lists. Claude can then edit cells alongside the team, highlighting every change. Anthropic acknowledges that capabilities remain lightweight for now: for the full power of Excel, users must export to .xlsx or CSV, or turn to Claude for Excel, Airtable, Asana, monday.com, or Smartsheet.
Claude Whiteboards takes a discussion, even a messy one, and turns it into a structured board with timelines, assignees, and due dates that teams can edit in real time. During a retrospective, for instance, Claude can group notes by theme and suggest action items for each. The board can then be converted into a document, a presentation, or exported directly to Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.
Claude Data: Tapping into Enterprise Figures
Claude Data connects directly to enterprise data sources—warehouses like Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, or ClickHouse, as well as CRMs—to generate dashboards, data narratives, or short narrated videos. Data teams can certify baseline queries so that everyone relies on consistent definitions, and share live-updating dashboards, even with colleagues who lack direct access to the connectors. Both capabilities are currently in beta. Listed partners include Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, and Sigma.
On the administrative side, all three tools are enabled by default for Team plans. On Enterprise plans, Sheets and Whiteboards remain turned off by default, while Claude Data will be enabled by default on November 19, 2026.
Anthropic is also expanding its interactive connectors: applications such as Adobe, Atlassian, Box, and Notion can now open as full-fledged software directly alongside the conversation, allowing Claude to collaborate with users inside them.
Claude Meetings: Coming Soon, or Already Here?
Then there is Claude Meetings, designed to bring Claude into video calls to take notes and update team documents throughout the meeting. On its overview page, Anthropic lists it as “coming soon.” Meanwhile, TechCrunch reports that the feature has already launched in beta for Team and Enterprise tiers, starting with Google Meet, where Claude appears as an active participant. We found no confirmation of this immediate availability on Anthropic’s official pages.
Our take
Anthropic is methodically piecing together an office suite: documents, presentations, design, and now spreadsheets, whiteboards, and dashboards. The goal is to keep workflows inside Claude rather than copying outputs elsewhere, preserving context across tools as teams collaborate. Yet Anthropic is not aiming to replace Excel or Miro just yet: its spreadsheets remain lightweight, and every tool includes an export path to incumbent platforms. The battle is being waged not only against Google and Microsoft, but also against OpenAI, which rolled out its own desktop tools a few weeks earlier according to TechCrunch. The timing is hardly coincidental as Anthropic makes its pitch to investors. For enterprise teams, the crucial factor to watch will be the reliability of generated formulas and numbers—something customer testimonials do not independently verify.
