Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings, which joins video calls as a visible participant and starts working on tasks while people talk. The company also introduced Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets, and made Claude Data generally available.

Claude Meetings lets teams add Claude to a video call as a participant. Claude follows the conversation, can draft a discussed plan, map a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat, and pull information from connected work apps. Meeting notes, action items and other materials are available in claude.ai after the call. The feature is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet at launch.

Claude identifies itself in the meeting chat and will not join calls with external guests unless an admin authorizes it. It automatically leaves if an external guest joins. Claude Whiteboards is a shared board where teams can turn a plan into a visual workspace with timelines and deadlines, and then convert it into a doc or slide deck. Claude Sheets lets teams build and edit spreadsheets with Claude, which outlines each change it makes. Both are in beta on paid plans.

Anthropic also said Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, is now generally available. It connects Claude to company data systems such as a data warehouse or CRM, and returns dashboards, written data stories or narrated videos. Interactive connectors also open full versions of apps such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot inside Claude.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Developers building meeting or collaboration agents now have a reference point for an assistant that acts during a live call, with clear limits on joining external calls. The guardrails, including automatic exit when an external guest joins, are worth studying for any agent that participates in meetings.

Teams that build on Claude's connectors should check how the new app integrations and data connections fit their existing permissions, since Claude now works inside third-party apps alongside conversations.
