Anthropic launches Claude Meetings in beta and new office tools, Reuters reports

A dark graphite monitor floats on a dusted rose-orchid studio field. On the screen, the official charcoal Anthropic mark sits in a large cream tile with a partly lit clay-orange ring, above a row of call tiles with two backlit silhouettes and two blank circles. A side panel shows an abstract whiteboard sketch over a spreadsheet grid that is only partly filled.

Anthropic on Tuesday introduced new workplace tools for Claude, including Claude Meetings, a beta feature that can join Google Meet calls as a visible participant, Reuters reported in a Channel NewsAsia carry. Anthropic said Claude can follow the conversation, draft plans, create timelines, and answer questions in the meeting chat, Reuters reported. Reuters said Meetings is in beta for Team and Enterprise customers, initially through Google Meet, and that the company plans to expand it to other meeting platforms. TechCrunch also said the feature is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet at launch. The Verge likewise reported a Team and Enterprise Meetings beta.

A Claude.com article dated Tuesday still describes Claude Meetings as “coming soon.” Anthropic did not post a Meetings announcement on its news page. TechCrunch, attributing the company, said Claude identifies itself as a participant, posts a notice in the meeting chat, will not join calls with external guests unless an admin allows it, and will leave if an external guest joins.

In a separate article, Anthropic said it is launching Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and that Claude Dashboards is now generally available as Claude Data. Whiteboards is a shared board for brainstorming with Claude, and Sheets is a spreadsheet Claude can build and edit with a team, the company said. Both are available in beta on all paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile. On Team plans they are on by default; on Enterprise plans they are off by default unless an admin turns them on, Anthropic said.

Claude Data, which launched in beta in October under the Dashboards name, needs a data connector such as a warehouse or CRM, the company said. Certified queries and live sharing remain in beta. On Team plans, Data is on by default; on Enterprise plans, Anthropic said it turns on by default on Nov. 19, 2026.

Bloomberg News, in text visible on Bloomberg Law, said the tools put Anthropic “in sharper competition with two of its backers: Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google.” The announcement came as Anthropic launched its IPO roadshow after setting a $70 to $78 price range, AI Tech Daily reported.
