## Key points

- Anthropic adds spreadsheet, whiteboard and data artefacts to Claude.
- Partner apps and plugins can now work inside Claude.
- The company is pitching Claude to non-technical teams.

## Summary

Anthropic has added Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data to its growing range of AI-made artefacts, with Claude Meetings expected soon. The move brings Claude closer to a productivity suite and signals the company’s interest in work traditionally handled by Microsoft and Google products.

Anthropic describes artefacts as things Claude creates for people to share and interact with, rather than standalone files; they can contain formats including documents, presentations, web content and video. The company is also letting partners embed apps in Claude, including Adobe and Atlassian, while Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday offer plugins for tasks such as sales preparation, financial analysis and HR administration. Anthropic says non-technical teams are making increasing use of Claude, a claim that could help demonstrate a broader market to investors ahead of a planned IPO.
