Anthropic Launches Claude Sheets and Office Tools
Anthropic has launched a suite of office tools built around its Claude assistant, including a spreadsheet app called Claude Sheets, a video call assistant called Claude Meetings, and a collaborative whiteboard, in a direct challenge to Microsoft and Google.
Announced at a company event on Tuesday 10 November 2026, the tools are aimed at moving Claude beyond software developers and into everyday business work. Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards are available in beta to paid subscribers, while Claude Meetings is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.
What Claude Sheets does
Claude Sheets lets teams create and edit spreadsheets together with Claude, building tables from a single prompt, with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down menus. Anthropic product leader Nicholas Lin described it as a fairly basic offering, and said it is not intended for advanced financial modelling.
Claude Meetings adds Claude to a video call as a visible participant. At launch it works with Google Meet, taking notes and starting work on tasks while the conversation is still going, then following up on action items once the call ends.
Whiteboards, data and apps inside Claude
Claude Whiteboards gives teams a shared space to brainstorm and plan with Claude during meetings, and is available in beta on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile. Anthropic also made Claude Data, its dashboard tool, generally available.
The company also announced that corporate software vendors including Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot can embed versions of their existing applications inside Claude, so teams can work in those apps without leaving the assistant.
The launch comes weeks after OpenAI unveiled its own workplace tools for ChatGPT, as both companies try to turn their AI assistants into full office suites. It also comes as Anthropic prepares for a stock market listing later this month: Bloomberg reported that the company reached an annualised revenue run rate of $81 billion as of 31 October.
