Microsoft Office and Google Workspace are two of the most notable productivity suites around, powering businesses around the world. Now, it looks like Anthropic wants a piece of this pie, as it just announced a trio of workplace tools.
Anthropic announced via its Claude account on X that it’s now rolling out Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets, and Claude Data. Starting with Whiteboards, the company says you can talk through a plan and have Claude lay it out on a digital whiteboard that can be edited by your team.
Meanwhile, Claude Sheets is effectively an Excel and Google Sheets rival. Anthropic says you can use Claude Sheets to “ask for a tracker or a budget” and then subsequently receive a spreadsheet that people can work on.

Claude Data is actually a rebranded version of the company’s Dashboards feature, which lets you ask questions about company data and turn them into dashboards, narrated videos, data stories, and more.
“You can also ask Claude to build custom artifacts for the way your team works, like an account tracker, a daily briefing, a project status board, or a contract review table,” the company explained in a support article. “Since Claude carries the same context through every step, an idea can carry over from a whiteboard to a spreadsheet to a dashboard, without the need to reiterate the details.”
All three tools are now available on paid plans. Furthermore, Anthropic is following rivals like Google and Microsoft by offering Claude Meetings. This upcoming feature will let you add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents.
