Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI models, has launched a set of office tools aimed at workers who spend their days in meetings and spreadsheets rather than writing code.
The new tools, unveiled at an event in San Francisco, are called Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards.
They let Claude join calls and take notes, develop ideas on a shared whiteboard and edit spreadsheets alongside staff.
Claude can also turn a presentation into a short explainer video.
All three tools are being tested in beta.
Sheets and Whiteboards are available on all paid plans, while Meetings is limited to business and enterprise customers.
Claude Data, a tool for building dashboards that launched as a trial in October, is now available to all paying users.
Beyond coding
Nicholas Lin, a product lead at Anthropic, told The Verge that Claude Code had "changed how engineers work a year ago".
He said non-developers were now "the gap we're hoping to close".
The new tools join Anthropic's existing Docs, Slides, Design and Motion products.
Anthropic has also added deeper links to apps from HubSpot, Adobe and Atlassian, including an Adobe PDF editor that works inside Claude.
The marketplace behind these connections has grown to more than 9,000 add-ons since it launched about two years ago.
Catching up with rivals
Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT can already join meetings and take notes.
Anthropic's coding business has been growing fast, with Claude Code's annual revenue run rate passing $2.5 billion by February.
Enterprise subscriptions have quadrupled since the start of the year.
The launch comes ahead of Anthropic's planned stock market listing, which could be one of the most valuable in history.
