Anthropic launched Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta on all paid plans, and made Claude Data generally available (formerly Claude Dashboards). Whiteboards is a shared board Claude turns into timelines and plans; Sheets lets Claude build and edit spreadsheets with your team.
Key facts
- On Nov 10, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and made Claude Dashboards generally available under the new name Claude Data. Anthropic says these are available on all paid plans, on web, desktop, and mobile. Anthropic
- Whiteboards is a shared board where a team brainstorms with Claude; Claude can turn a plan into a board with a timeline, owners and dates, and later into a doc or deck. Sheets can generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, often from a prompt, and edit in the cells while outlining each change. Anthropic
- Claude Data (formerly Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October) adds data stories, certified queries, and live sharing; certified queries and live sharing are in beta. On Team plans, Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on November 19, 2026. Anthropic
- Interactive connectors can open as full apps beside the conversation or in full screen, including Adobe, Atlassian, Box, and Notion. Anthropic
- TechCrunch (Aisha Malik, Nov 10) and The Verge (Hayden Field, Nov 10) report that Claude Meetings is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet at launch. Anthropic's own Nov 10 post says "Claude Meetings is coming soon" and that it will let you add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents during the conversation. This brief does not treat Meetings as shipped. TechCrunch (Aisha Malik)
Our take: what it means for contractors
A general contractor can build a job-cost tracker or bid schedule in Claude Sheets and keep working on it with the team inside Claude. Whiteboards can turn a messy plan into a timeline with owners and dates. We are not treating Meetings as available: Anthropic says it is coming soon, while the press reports a Team and Enterprise Google Meet beta.
What we don't know yet
- When Anthropic will make Claude Meetings available, and whether it will support Zoom or Microsoft Teams
- Whether Whiteboards, Sheets, or Data carry any extra cost beyond existing paid plans (none is stated)
