Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings, Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta for office work. Meetings is limited to Team and Enterprise plans, while Sheets and Whiteboards are available on all paid plans.
Anthropic is extending Claude beyond coding with tools for meetings, spreadsheets and shared planning. Claude Meetings joins Google Meet calls as a visible participant, answers questions in chat and uses connected work apps to begin tasks during the conversation.
The launch builds on Anthropic’s existing document and presentation tools. New interactive connectors also let users open partner apps, including Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot, inside Claude rather than switch between tabs.
For companies testing AI in non-technical teams, the tools offer a way to connect discussions with practical work. But Claude Sheets remains basic: an Anthropic product leader said it is not intended for financial modelling and pointed users towards add-ins for existing applications for more advanced work.
The beta releases offer teams something to test, but sustained productivity gains remain unproven.
Embedding partner apps could reduce switching between tools, making integration depth important when choosing an AI workspace.
Companies should not treat Claude Sheets as a replacement for advanced spreadsheets, given its stated limits.

Google Cloud has launched Gemini for healthcare, an AI agent for hospital and insurer administration, in US preview. It can read patient records and prepare work across systems, but clinical staff must make any changes to those records.
Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Robotics 2.5, an AI model for controlling robots. Google says robots using it reached a 96 percent success rate when sorting automotive parts at Mercedes-Benz factories.
Google has opened Gemini 4 Carbon to paying business and developer customers, with access also rolling out for Google AI Ultra subscribers. The AI model targets harder coding and research tasks, but longer reasoning can make each task cost more than with Argon.
