Anthropic is enhancing its Claude assistant with features aimed at the professional world. Presented during an event held on November 10, 2026, in San Francisco, these new additions cover meeting note-taking, the creation of spreadsheets and whiteboards, as well as enhanced data analysis capabilities and connections to work applications.
Among the main announcements is Claude Meetings, a feature that allows the AI to join a video conference, follow the discussions, and begin executing tasks mentioned by participants. According to the publisher, the goal is to reduce the gap between meeting discussions and their translation into concrete actions.
Claude participates in video conferences and prepares actions
Visible as a full-fledged participant, Claude can follow conversations, take notes, identify decisions, and formalize next steps. Collaborators can also ask it to draft a document, prepare a project plan, or build a calendar while the meeting is in progress. With their permission, users can also allow the assistant to query connected business applications to retrieve information useful to the discussions. The documents produced are then accessible from a dedicated page in Claude. As a precaution, the assistant automatically leaves the meeting if an external guest joins unexpectedly.
Claude Meetings is offered in beta, meaning in testing before the final version, to customers with Team and Enterprise plans. At launch, the feature supports Google Meet, and Anthropic plans to extend this compatibility to other video conferencing platforms.
Integrated whiteboards and spreadsheets
Anthropic is simultaneously introducing two collaborative tools, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets. The first offers a shared workspace to transform brainstorming sessions or project meetings into structured representations. Teams can organize ideas, build calendars, assign responsibilities, and set deadlines. Claude can group contributions by theme and suggest action plans. Whiteboards also works within Claude Meetings, with the board being built while participants converse.
Claude Sheets tackles spreadsheet-related uses. The tool generates and modifies spreadsheets from instructions formulated in natural language, and notably supports tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown lists. Several collaborators can work on the same document with the help of the AI, which highlights the changes made. Both features are available in beta on Claude’s paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile. Anthropic specifies, however, that Sheets remains more limited than a full spreadsheet like Excel. It cannot, for example, import live data from connected applications, but files can be exported in XLSX and CSV formats.
Another announced evolution, Dashboards is changing its name to become Claude Data and is moving to general availability for paying subscribers. The tool connects Claude to the company’s data sources, including data warehouses, these bases centralizing large volumes of information, such as BigQuery, Snowflake, or Amazon Redshift, and to CRMs, customer relationship management software, such as Salesforce. The assistant can then produce dashboards, answer questions about business metrics, or generate presentations from the data. Anthropic also highlights query certification and dynamic dashboard sharing, which allow defining benchmark indicators to limit calculation discrepancies between departments. These two functions remain in beta, however.
For Enterprise customers, Whiteboards and Sheets are disabled by default, while Claude Data will be automatically activated starting November 19, 2026.
Finally, Anthropic is expanding Claude’s integration with business applications. Its Interactive Connectors, now available on web and desktop for all plans, allow directly opening certain partner applications within the assistant’s work environment. Publishers involved include Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, NetSuite, and Workday. These connectors rely on users’ existing access rights, and administrators have usage control and consumption tracking functions.
