Anthropic launched Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta on its paid plans, so teams can build spreadsheets and visual planning boards together with Claude, and made its Dashboards tool generally available under the new name Claude Data. Sheets supports formulas, multiple tabs, and drop-down menus and marks every cell Claude changes, but Anthropic product leader Nicholas Lin told Bloomberg it’s “fairly basic” for now and that its add-ins for Excel and Google Sheets are a better fit for work like financial modeling. Anthropic also upgraded its interactive connectors so apps from Adobe, Atlassian, HubSpot, and others open in full inside Claude. The new tools pit Anthropic more directly against Microsoft and Google, both of which are investors, weeks before its IPO.
