Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, announced that its Claude platform now includes three new business productivity tools – Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data (formerly known as Dashboards). These tools allow users to create and edit spreadsheets, collaborate visually and generate data visualizations directly within the Claude environment. This is a step away from traditional text generation and towards the full-fledged office tasks previously handled by Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Claude Sheets – spreadsheet functionality
Claude Sheets allows team members to collaborate directly on spreadsheets, similar to Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Users can create multiple cards, write formulas, and share data in real time. The platform maintains context between spreadsheets and other Claude tools, so there’s no need to repeat instructions when moving from data analysis to visualization.
Claude Whiteboards – shared digital furniture
Claude Whiteboards act as a shared digital furniture where teams can organize ideas during meetings. The tool allows users to ask Claude for summaries directly, and artificial intelligence automatically summarizes discussions. It’s similar to other collaboration furniture on the market, but integrated into the Claude context, so information from the furniture can be used in subsequent tasks.
Claude Data – data analysis and visualization
Claude Data (formerly Dashboards) extends the platform into the realm of data analytics, connecting to services like Snowflake and Salesforce. The tool generates visual data stories, interactive dashboards, and even short narrative videos based on definitions approved by an organization’s data team. This allows businesses to quickly create data stories without additional software.
Interactive switches and partnerships
Anthropic also introduced interactive connectors that allow partner applications to be embedded directly into Claude. Integrations include Adobe, Atlassian, as well as add-ons from Salesforce, NetSuite, and Workday, designed to help sales, finance, and HR teams complete tasks on the platform. The company emphasizes that Claude works „around you,“ knowing your team’s work across connected devices and adhering to the control boundaries set by administrators.
Security challenges and data breaches
While the new tools expand Claude’s capabilities, Anthropic has been hit by a security incident. According to a report by Digitimes, more than 100 South Korean companies„ Claude accounts suffered a data breach, exposing customer names, email addresses, account IDs, organization IDs, subscription levels, and usage and spending metrics. The information suggests that even advanced AI platforms need to continually strengthen data protection.
Technological progress: AMD GPU integration
Another major milestone is the migration of Claude Mythos to AMD’s MI355X GPU. Crypto Briefing reports that Anthropic AI completed most of the migration work in three days with minimal human intervention, demonstrating the company’s investment in efficient hardware integration to improve performance and reduce computational costs.
IPO and financial outlook
The expansion of Claude’s tools comes as Anthropic prepares to enter the public market. The company has launched an IPO journey, aiming to raise up to $64.35 billion through the sale of 825 million shares, at an expected price range of $70-78 per share. The information, from The Times of India, suggests that the company is looking for capital to help further develop the Claude platform and cover rising computing costs.
Conclusions
Anthropic’s expansion into Claude Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data shows that AI platforms can become a full-fledged work environment, beyond just text generation. Integrated partnerships, interactive switches, and a rapid hardware migration to AMD GPUs give the tools greater performance and flexibility. But the security incident is a reminder that data protection must be constantly strengthened, especially as the platform becomes a critical part of business processes. This expansion and IPO plans show that Anthropic is aiming to establish itself as a major player in the office products market, competing with Microsoft and Google’s AI solutions.
