Anthropic adds Sheets, Whiteboards and Data to Claude

Anthropic added Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data on November 10, expanding Claude’s built-in work surfaces beyond its existing Docs, Slides and Design templates. The company also upgraded interactive connectors so supported partner applications can open inside Claude.

The three artifact types give Claude dedicated surfaces for spreadsheet work, collaborative planning and data presentation. Claude Sheets lets users and Claude organize data, create and edit formulas, and work across multiple tabs. Claude Whiteboards gives teams a shared canvas for organizing ideas, with an option to ask Claude to summarize the result.

Claude Data, previously called Dashboards, can connect to services including Snowflake and Salesforce to build dashboards, visual data stories or narrated short videos. Anthropic’s help documentation lists Claude Data for Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans. Sheets and Whiteboards are beta templates on the same paid plans. Anthropic did not disclose separate pricing for the new artifact types in the official materials reviewed for this story.

The connector update allows a supported application to open beside a Claude conversation or in full-screen mode. Claude can make changes inside the application after the user approves them. Anthropic named Adobe, Atlassian, Box, HubSpot and Notion among the initial examples.

The interactive connectors use MCP Apps, an extension of the Model Context Protocol that lets an MCP server provide an interface inside a compatible AI application. Anthropic describes the expanded developer capabilities as a public preview.

The connector experience is rolling out across Claude’s web and desktop applications on all plans. Availability depends on an account receiving the new Claude experience or an organization enabling it.
