Claude joins video calls and builds spreadsheets for teams

In Meetings, a team invites Claude into a Google Meet call, where everyone can see it. While people talk, it can pull figures from connected work apps, reply to questions typed in the chat and write up the plan under discussion, TechCrunch reports. Claude posts a notice in the chat when it joins. It leaves as soon as an outside guest arrives, and joins calls with outside guests only if an admin allows it.

Ask Sheets for a campaign tracker and Claude sets up the spreadsheet, drop-down menus, formulas and separate tabs included, Anthropic’s post says. It then works in the cells next to your team and flags every edit it makes. Files export to .xlsx or CSV. In Whiteboards, a team talks a plan through and Claude lays it out as a timeline with a name and a date on each task. Claude Dashboards, in beta since October, is renamed Claude Data and is now open to all paid plans; it needs a connection to a data warehouse or CRM. Partner apps from Atlassian, Adobe and HubSpot, among others, can now open inside Claude.

Sheets and Whiteboards come with every paid plan. Meetings is limited to Team and Enterprise.

On our price sheet, checked on 10 November, Pro costs $20 a month ($17 on yearly billing), and a Team seat costs $25 ($20 yearly), with two seats at least.

A solo marketer gets the campaign tracker in Sheets on the $20 Pro plan; putting Claude into the planning call takes Team, whose two-seat floor makes the entry price $50 a month, or $40 on yearly billing.
