Anthropic added three new artifact types to Claude: Sheets, Whiteboards and Data, which used to be called Dashboards. Sheets and Whiteboards are in beta on paid plans. Data is generally available on paid plans. The company's framing is that the Claude Code experience, where you describe what you want and then review what came back, should work for people who do not write code.
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data. Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

The three tools do different jobs. In Sheets, you and Claude build a spreadsheet in the same file, including formulas and multiple tabs. Whiteboards gives a team a shared board to lay out a messy plan during a meeting, and Claude can summarise what the group produced. Data connects to sources like Snowflake and Salesforce, then builds dashboards, written data stories and short narrated videos, with certified query definitions and live sharing still in beta.
The part worth testing is context. Anthropic says the thread survives the format change, so an idea that starts on a whiteboard can move into a spreadsheet and end as a dashboard without anyone restating the brief. That is the claim that decides whether these are three separate features or one workflow. It is also the kind of thing that looks fine in a demo and gets fiddly once a real team with real tabs touches it.
Interactive connectors are the quieter change. Partners can now embed the full version of their app inside Claude, so you work in Adobe, Atlassian or Box next to the conversation and either make the change yourself or ask Claude to make it with you. Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday plugins ship with built-in skills for things like call prep and expense handling, some labelled beta. Anthropic says the marketplace carries more than 9,000 connectors and plugins, and that Claude Meetings will arrive later to take notes and update documents during a call.
For companies, the controls matter as much as the features. Admins choose who can use which product and connector and set spend limits, and Claude works within the permissions a tool already has, so it might read Slack without being able to post. Auto-connect, in beta, links a whole organisation to an app like Notion or Dropbox once instead of per person. Enterprise sessions run in their own isolated virtual machine with connector credentials kept outside it, and audit logs plus a Compliance API feed the usual security tooling.
The productivity numbers in the announcement are customer quotes rather than independent tests, so treat them as claims. Advantage Solutions says its finance team cut slide assembly for a forecast cycle from about 10 hours to under 30 minutes. Anthropic's own legal team says marketing reviews went from three days to 24 hours. Gusto says contract turnaround dropped from over a week to hours.
That puts Claude in the same lane as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 rather than the chatbot lane, which is a bigger shift than another model release. Two caveats before anyone plans around it. The features are rolling out over the coming days, so you may not see all of them yet, and the sheets and boards are beta. Anthropic has not published detailed limits for how much of this each paid tier gets.
If you want the model side of Anthropic's week, the company also shipped Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos, and we covered how Claude Code cut its background subagent costs.
