Anthropic launched three new artifact types yesterday. Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are in beta, and Claude Dashboards is now generally available under a new name: Claude Data. All three run on every paid plan, on web, desktop, and mobile.
Anthropic names the reason itself. Until now, finishing something with Claude meant moving the result into another program, where Claude could no longer see what became of it.
A conversation turns into a board
Talk through a half-finished plan out loud and Claude builds a board from it, with a timeline, owners, and dates. In a retro, everyone adds their notes, Claude groups them by theme and drafts the action items. Drag a box around part of the board and your question applies to that part only. When you are done, the board becomes a doc or a deck — or moves into Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.
Spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, and drop-downs
Claude Sheets produces spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-downs, often from a single sentence: a campaign tracker, a hiring budget. Claude edits inside the cells and outlines every change so you can follow what moved.
Anthropic says plainly that Sheets has simple spreadsheet functionality for now. For financial modelling you export to .xlsx or CSV, or reach for Claude for Excel. Nicholas Lin, a product lead at Anthropic, told Bloomberg: “I think there’s a time and place for these Microsoft and Google products, especially for more advanced enterprise use cases.” The partner route stays open through Airtable, Asana, monday.com, and Smartsheet.
Claude Data does more than dashboards
The dashboards beta from October is now Claude Data, because the old name was too narrow. What is new: your data team can certify the queries everyone should use, and charts built on those metrics carry a certified badge. Claude drafts data stories or narrated videos from the numbers. With live sharing, colleagues see current figures without holding access to the connectors — and they cannot run queries of their own with it. Add design systems, caching with a refresh cadence per dashboard, and tracked changes with rollback. Anthropic lists Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Salesforce as sources, and Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, and Sigma as partners.
Who gets what, and when
Team plans have all three on. Enterprise plans have Whiteboards and Sheets off, and Claude Data switches itself on November 19, 2026. Admins change that under Organization settings, then Artifacts. Claude Data needs a data connector.
Anthropic also announced Claude Meetings: Claude joins a call, takes notes, and updates the documents the team is working on while the conversation runs. Alongside it come plugins from Salesforce (beta), NetSuite, and Workday (beta) with built-in skills.
Microsoft and Google are both backers and rivals
With Sheets, Anthropic is going after two companies invested in it, eight days before its listing. Microsoft shares were down three percent in New York yesterday midday. And calling its own spreadsheet basic while pointing serious modelling back to Excel fits that: what is on sale here is the reason never to leave Claude at all.
