Anthropic turns Claude into an office suite with Sheets, Whiteboards and Data

Anthropic has added three new kinds of shared workspace — which it calls artifact types — to Claude, a move The Verge describes as Anthropic getting “its own AI-powered office suite”.

What is new

• Claude Sheets: teams and Claude build spreadsheets together, with formulas and multiple tabs.
• Claude Whiteboards: a digital whiteboard for laying out ideas in a meeting; Claude can then summarise what was decided.
• Claude Data (formerly Dashboards): connects to tools such as Snowflake and Salesforce to build dashboards, visual data stories or short narrated videos.
• Interactive connectors: partner apps, including Adobe and Atlassian, can now be embedded and used directly inside Claude. Plugins from Salesforce (beta), NetSuite and Workday (beta) ship with ready-made skills for sales, finance and HR.
• Claude Meetings, which will join calls to take notes and update documents, is “coming soon”.

Anthropic says its marketplace lists more than 9,000 connectors and plugins. For enterprises it highlights admin controls over which connectors staff can use and what they may do (for example, read Slack but not post), plus audit logs and a beta “auto-connect” feature.

Context

The launch comes as Anthropic starts the roadshow for its stock-market listing. The customer time savings quoted in the announcement come from the company and its clients and have not been independently checked.
