Claude Sheets and Whiteboards land in beta as Data goes general

Anthropic put Claude Sheets and Whiteboards in beta on paid plans and made Claude Data generally available. Treat the reported Meet agent as unconfirmed.

Anthropic on November 10, 2026 launched Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta and made Claude Dashboards generally available under a new name, Claude Data. The company said all three are available on paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile.

Anthropic's account of the gap these fill is specific. Working with Claude on a project often meant moving the output into another tool, where Claude no longer had live access to later changes. Boards, sheets, and dashboards can now stay in Claude, with the team still editing, and move into partner tools when the draft is ready.

A native sheet, and Anthropic calls it simple

Claude Sheets can generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-downs, often from a prompt such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget. It can edit in the cells and outline each new edit so changes are trackable. Sheets can be shared, so a team and Claude work the same file.

The ceiling is stated in Anthropic's own post: "For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more." When a file needs the full functionality of Excel, the company says to export .xlsx or CSV, or use Claude for Excel. Work can also continue in Airtable, Asana, monday.com, and Smartsheet.

Whiteboards that can leave Claude

Claude Whiteboards is a shared board. Anthropic's examples: talk through a messy plan and have Claude turn it into a timeline with owners and dates; in a retro, have people add notes, then have Claude group them by theme and draft action items. Drag a box around part of the board and ask Claude about that region. When brainstorming is done, Claude can turn the board into a doc or a deck, or hand it to Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.

A companion post the same day says an idea can carry from a whiteboard to a spreadsheet to a dashboard without restating the details. It also says teams can ask Claude for custom artifacts such as an account tracker, a daily briefing, a project status board, or a contract review table.

Data is general; two of its features are not

Claude Dashboards launched in beta in October, for questions against company data in tools such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse. Starting November 10 it is generally available as Claude Data. Anthropic said it changed the name "because the way companies use their data is broader than dashboards, and the product now covers how they work more broadly."

Claude Data still needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM. Certified queries and live sharing remain in beta. What Anthropic describes for the product:

  • Data teams can certify the queries everyone should use, so dashboards are not built on conflicting definitions. Charts on those metrics carry a "certified" badge.
  • Claude can draft data stories or narrated videos from metrics, for review before sharing.
  • With live sharing, colleagues can open a shared dashboard and see current numbers even without access to the connectors. They see results of approved queries and cannot run other queries with the sharer's access.
  • Design systems are supported.
  • Dashboards can cache, with a refresh cadence set per dashboard, instead of reloading on every open.
  • Tracked changes show who edited and allow a rollback to a specific version.

Partners named for Claude Data are Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, and Sigma. The companion article also describes connections to tools such as Snowflake and Salesforce, and says certified definitions are in beta.

The same day, interactive connectors can open as full apps beside the conversation or in full screen. Anthropic names Adobe, Atlassian, Box, and Notion. The companion post says the Claude Marketplace lists more than 9,000 connectors and plugins, and that plugins from Salesforce (beta), NetSuite, and Workday (beta) include built-in skills.

Team is on; Enterprise boards and sheets are not

On Team plans, Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data are on by default. On Enterprise, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default. Claude Data turns on by default for Enterprise on November 19, 2026. Admins can change any of that in Organization settings, under Artifacts.

The Meet agent is not confirmed live

Anthropic's companion article from November 10, "More ways to work with Claude," introduces Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data, then says Claude Meetings is coming soon. The only description there is prospective: coming soon, it will let you add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents the team is working on during the conversation.

Same-day reporting went further, and it does not match that page. Reuters reported that Anthropic said Claude Meetings was launching in beta for Team and Enterprise customers, initially through Google Meet, with plans to expand to other platforms, and that Claude would join a call as a visible participant. Engadget reported a Google Meet notes feature limited to Team and Enterprise customers, and, citing Anthropic, said Claude marks itself as a participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat. Those details are not in the Anthropic posts available here. The companion post still says coming soon. Until Anthropic's own product copy matches that reporting, the join-the-call feature is unconfirmed, not a live beta.

Paid-plan users can try the three artifacts Anthropic actually confirmed: Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data, on web, desktop, or mobile. Enterprise admins should open Organization settings, then Artifacts, before assuming boards and sheets are on. For the meeting agent, read the companion post and take "coming soon" as the status Anthropic published.
