Anthropic says work you make with Claude no longer has to be copied out into another tool to share it. On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the company added three new kinds of shared work files to Claude: Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data. It also upgraded its interactive connectors and announced Claude Meetings, an assistant that sits in your video calls.
The tools were unveiled at an event in San Francisco, The Verge reported. They join the documents, slide decks, designs and short animations (Claude Motion, in beta) that Claude could already make.
What Anthropic announced
- Claude Sheets (beta, all paid plans): spreadsheets that Claude builds and edits with your team.
- Claude Whiteboards (beta, all paid plans): a shared board where Claude organizes ideas into diagrams and timelines.
- Claude Data (generally available, all paid plans): the new name for Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October.
- Interactive connectors: partner apps that open inside Claude so you and Claude can work in them.
- Claude Meetings: Claude joins a call to take notes and update documents. Availability is unclear (see below).
What Claude Sheets does
Per Anthropic's launch post, Claude can generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, often from one prompt such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget. It edits in the cells and outlines each edit so you can track what changed. You can share a sheet so your team and Claude work on it together.
Anthropic is clear that this is not Excel. "For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more," the company wrote. For full Excel features, you can export to .xlsx or CSV, or use Claude for Excel. Sheets also hands off to partner tools including Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet. If you need more power today, our guide to AI tools for Excel and Google Sheets covers other options.
How Claude Whiteboards works
You talk through a messy plan out loud, and Claude turns it into a board with a timeline, owners and dates that the team can edit live. In Anthropic's example of a retro meeting, everyone adds notes, and Claude groups them by theme and drafts action items for each person. You can drag a box around part of the board and ask Claude about only that part. When you are done, Claude can turn the board into a doc or deck, or send it to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.
The Whiteboards help article lists the beta on Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans, on web, Claude Desktop and Claude Mobile. You can talk, type or sketch. Boards count toward your plan's usage limits and can be exported as PNG. Two limits at launch: Claude works only from what is on the board and does not use context from your connected apps, and Whiteboards is not available to organizations with HIPAA-ready configurations.
Claude Data, formerly Dashboards
Claude Data lets teams ask questions of company data in tools like Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse, and it needs a data connector such as a warehouse or CRM. Anthropic says it renamed the product because the way companies use their data "is broader than dashboards." New features include:
- Certified queries (beta): a data team marks the metric definitions everyone should use, and charts built on them get a "certified" badge.
- Data stories and narrated videos drafted from your metrics, for you to review before sharing.
- Live sharing (beta): colleagues see current numbers on a shared dashboard without their own connector access, and can't run other queries with your access.
- Design system support, caching with a refresh schedule per dashboard, and tracked changes with rollback.
Anthropic names Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma as partners for Claude Data.
Interactive connectors
Where a connector supports it, you can now open a partner app beside your conversation or full screen and ask Claude to make changes in it. You approve Claude's actions the same way you approve any connector's actions. The first group includes Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow, and Anthropic says Figma, Harvey and Shopify are building integrations. The feature runs on MCP Apps, an open extension to the Model Context Protocol, and is rolling out on web and the Claude desktop app on all plans. Google's A2UI 1.0 protocol also targets MCP Apps: its web and Flutter renderers work inside them, so agent screens built with it can appear in Claude.
Is Claude Meetings available yet?
Sources disagree. Anthropic's overview post says "Claude Meetings is coming soon." TechCrunch and The Verge reported it launching in beta on Team and Enterprise plans, and TechCrunch said it works with Google Meet at launch.
As TechCrunch describes it, Claude joins the call as a visible participant, drafts the plan being discussed, maps a timeline on a whiteboard, answers questions in the meeting chat and pulls information from connected apps. Notes and action items land in claude.ai after the call. Claude posts a notice in the meeting chat, will not join calls with external guests unless an admin allows it, and leaves if an external guest joins.
Nicholas Lin, Anthropic's product lead for knowledge work, told Axios the company tested Claude Meetings internally for about two months and that Claude now sits in nearly all of its meetings. For now, Claude largely waits to be told what to do, and Lin said Anthropic expects to make it more proactive over time.

Admin defaults
On Team plans, Whiteboards, Sheets and Data are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on November 19, 2026. Admins change this in Organization settings > Artifacts. Enterprise admins can also limit what each connector does, so Claude might read Slack but not send messages.
Why it matters
Lin told The Verge that Claude Code "changed how engineers work a year ago," and that knowledge workers are "the gap we're hoping to close." The Verge describes the new tools as aimed at non-technical workers who spend a lot of time in meetings, brainstorming and analyzing metrics. TechCrunch frames the launch as part of a race between Anthropic and OpenAI to build office suites that take on Microsoft and Google. The Verge adds that the launch comes as Anthropic prepares for its IPO. The Verge notes Google's Gemini can already join meetings and take live notes. Investors noticed: Business Insider reported that Microsoft stock dropped on Tuesday after the reveal.
The catch is maturity. Sheets is basic by Anthropic's own account, Whiteboards cannot see your connected apps yet, and Meetings is still not clearly available. For the models behind these tools, see our post on Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2.
