Key points
- Anthropic announced Claude Meetings, enabling its AI agent to participate in live calls, take notes, and edit team files.
- The meeting feature includes security guardrails that force the AI to exit if unauthorized external participants join.
- New productivity tools Whiteboards, Sheets, and an updated Data tool expand Claude's enterprise capabilities.
Anthropic is expanding its enterprise software lineup with a suite of new workplace collaboration tools for its AI assistant, Claude. The flagship addition, an upcoming feature called Claude Meetings, will allow the AI agent to join live team calls, take notes, and directly update shared documents while conversations take place.
According to Anthropic, Claude Meetings will be made available to Team and Enterprise plan subscribers. To address privacy concerns, the agent will automatically disconnect from calls if external guests join without explicit administrator authorization. The feature will also be unavailable to organizations operating under zero data retention policies, HIPAA-ready configurations, or customer-managed encryption keys.
Alongside the meeting agent, Anthropic introduced interactive tools intended to streamline internal workflows. A new Whiteboards feature in beta converts audio brainstorming sessions into structured boards with assigned task owners, dates, and thematic notes. Anthropic also unveiled Sheets, which generates shareable spreadsheets from text prompts and tracks cell edits, while retaining compatibility with traditional formats like Microsoft Excel and third-party management tools.
Additionally, the company updated its former Claude Dashboards product under the new name Data. The tool connects to enterprise data repositories such as Amazon Redshift and ClickHouse, enabling employees to share live dashboard metrics securely across their organization without granting viewers direct query access to underlying databases.
What to watch next: While Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data updates are currently rolling out, Anthropic has not yet announced an official release date for Claude Meetings.
