Thanks to IT Home reader 我家小妞很拽 for the tip!
IT Home reported on November 11 that Anthropic began rolling out Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data (formerly Claude Dashboards) today, moving its AI assistant further from “chat-based questions and answers” toward a team collaboration workspace. Users can map out plans on whiteboards, build trackers in spreadsheets, and turn business data into shareable dashboards, data stories or narrated videos.
All 3 products are available on every paid plan and support web, desktop and mobile platforms. Whiteboards and Sheets are currently in beta, while Claude Data has officially launched.
The company aims to move Claude beyond generating text, code or documents and have it participate directly in teams’ day-to-day collaboration. With Claude Whiteboards, users can describe a vague plan aloud, and Claude will organize it into a whiteboard with a timeline, owners and dates. Team members can then add ideas to the same whiteboard in real time. When reviewing a meeting, Claude can also group scattered discussions by topic and draft action items for each person.
Claude Sheets aims to make spreadsheets easier to create. Users need only ask for something like “make me a marketing campaign tracker” or “a hiring budget spreadsheet,” and Claude can generate a spreadsheet with multiple tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down menus, and edit content directly in cells.
Claude Sheets clearly marks every AI-made edit so teams can track changes. Files can also be exported as .xlsx or CSV, or worked on further in tools such as Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.
Claude Data is designed to make enterprise data “tell a story.” It can connect to data warehouses or CRM systems such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake and Salesforce. After asking a question, users can receive a dashboard, a written data story or even a short video narrated by AI. IT Home provides related screenshots and a video below:
The new “certified queries” feature lets data teams standardize the definitions of key metrics, preventing different departments from using conflicting figures. Live sharing lets colleagues who are not connected to the data source see the latest results, but they can run only authorized queries.
Anthropic says the 3 tools are interconnected: an idea can move from a whiteboard to a spreadsheet and then to a data dashboard without users having to repeat the background to the AI. Anthropic has also upgraded its interactive connectors. Apps including Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion can open as full applications alongside a Claude conversation, where users can work in them directly or ask Claude to help make changes.
