More ways to work with Claude: Sheets, Whiteboards, and Interactive Connectors
Work at the speed of thought
We've seen Claude Code change how developers work. Engineers went from manually coding line by line, to describing ideas and reviewing what Claude built. It reconnected them with the joy of building. Our goal is to bring that magic to every team, and today we're expanding what Claude makes possible. We're introducing new artifact types with Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Data. We're also making it easier to work in your most-used apps with an upgrade to interactive connectors. Claude Meetings is coming soon.
All your connectors and context
In Claude Code, the context Claude needs is already in the codebase. For other teams, context sprawls across emails, apps, and drives. Claude reaches it through connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (opens in new tab) (MCP), the open standard we introduced for connecting AI to the tools you use. Claude Marketplace lists more than 9,000 connectors and plugins, including community-built ones.
Interactive connectors (opens in new tab) take this further. Starting today, partners can embed their apps directly in Claude, so you can work in Adobe, Atlassian, and others without switching tabs. Plugins from Salesforce (beta), NetSuite, and Workday (beta) come with built-in skills, so sellers can prep for a call, accountants can analyze financial data, and HR teams can handle time off and expenses.
Bring ideas to life faster, together
Starting today, Claude can build spreadsheets, whiteboards, and dashboards with your team. These work with its existing abilities to create documents, slide decks, and designs (opens in new tab), and with Claude Motion (opens in new tab) (beta), which helps you turn content into short animations. In each one, Claude quickly picks up what you need, so your thinking sets the pace of work:
- New artifact types (opens in new tab):
- In Claude Sheets, your team and Claude build spreadsheets together, collaboratively organize data, create and edit formulas, and work across multiple tabs.
- Claude Whiteboards is a digital whiteboard that your team can use to lay out and organize ideas together in a meeting, then ask Claude to summarize the findings.
- Claude Data (formerly Dashboards) connects to tools like Snowflake and Salesforce and can use definitions your data team certifies (beta) to create dashboards, visual data stories, or narrated short videos.
You can also ask Claude to build custom artifacts for the way your team works, like an account tracker, a daily briefing, a project status board, or a contract review table. Since Claude carries the same context through every step, an idea can carry over from a whiteboard to a spreadsheet to a dashboard, without the need to reiterate the details.
Coming soon, Claude Meetings will let you add Claude to a call to take notes and update the documents your team is working on during the conversation.
Teams already working this way
Inside Anthropic, non-technical teams are starting to get as much out of Claude as our engineers. Our legal team worked with Claude to build a Slack-based legal review tool that automatically draws redlines from the team’s own playbook. This brought marketing reviews from three days down to 24 hours, and easy fixes are made before a lawyer reviews the draft. Our finance team turned a long business update document for executives into an interactive page, and now the whole team updates it together with Claude.
Neither of these teams writes code, but they're experts in their fields. They used Claude to turn that knowledge into tools that saved them time, and that others can use. Our customers are working this way too:
“At Accenture, Claude is helping us transform the way our legal teams work. We're excited about the opportunity to reimagine legal workflows and unlock new ways for our legal professionals to support our business.”
“Our FP&A team used to spend about 10 hours every forecast cycle on slides, commentary, and validation. We automated that assembly work in Claude and brought it down to under 30 minutes. Claude took all of that off our plate. Now we're doing what finance is supposed to do: finding the insight and driving the decision. That's a meaningful shift for a team supporting a business of this size.”
“At Datadog, Claude has extended from coding to knowledge work. Our product managers are using Claude to move from an idea to a feature brief, PRD, and testable prototype much faster, giving them more time to focus on customer needs, product judgment, and the right problems to solve. When someone builds something good with Claude at Datadog, it spreads fast.”
At Gusto, one member of the commercial legal team built a tool in a few hours that turns negotiated terms into signature-ready contracts. Turnaround went from over a week to hours, with that person still reviewing anything negotiated.
“Claude and HubSpot work seamlessly together, so our CSMs have all the context they need to walk in prepared for every call. Live dashboards in Claude pull from HubSpot to show what matters for each call and which customers to reach out to next, and follow-up emails are drafted within 30 minutes of a call ending. Work that used to take hours every week now runs in the background, so our team can focus on helping customers build better solutions, prove value, and grow better.”
Built for and with enterprises
As Claude starts to connect to more tools, businesses need better ways to oversee its access and actions. We build in security and compliance controls to help enterprises meet their own requirements, and we use the same Claude for our own most sensitive work. On Enterprise plans, admins decide who can use which products and connectors, and set spend limits for the organization at a granular level.
That control applies to the tools Claude connects to. With Claude auto-connect (opens in new tab), now in beta on eligible Team and Enterprise plans, connecting an app like Notion, Atlassian, or Dropbox is a one-time setup. Employees are then connected to the tool the first time they use it in Claude, instead of connecting each one individually.
Whichever way a tool is connected, Claude works within your existing permissions. Admins can also limit what each connector does, meaning that Claude might be able to read Slack but not send messages on your behalf.
Protecting sensitive business data is core to how we build, and we're continuing to harden those protections as Claude takes on longer, more complex work:
- Data from Enterprise organizations (opens in new tab) is encrypted in transit and at rest.
- On Enterprise plans, security teams can see how Claude is being used (opens in new tab), through audit logs and a Compliance API that works with more than 100 security and compliance tools, including Splunk and CrowdStrike.
- In the new Claude experience on Enterprise, each cloud session runs in its own isolated virtual machine (opens in new tab), with connector credentials kept outside it.
Work that keeps up with your ideas
Modern work is set up around software, but Claude works around you. It knows your team's work through the tools you connect, helps you bring ideas to life in the formats you need, and runs within the controls your admins set. That leaves you more time to focus and make progress on big goals.
