US artificial intelligence app company Anthropic announced the addition of new workplace task capabilities to its Claude AI app, including “Claude Meetings,” which allows the app to join video conferences to execute tasks while participants speak, converting their discussions into specific plans and action items. The company also unveiled “Claude Whiteboards” and “Claude Sheets.”
Anthropic’s launch of these new productivity-focused workplace features comes just weeks after its rival OpenAI announced a suite of workplace tools that enable users to collaborate with its AI chat application, ChatGPT, to perform tasks such as transforming company information into visual content and creating presentations. The two companies are competing to transform their products into comprehensive office AI application suites to outpace Microsoft and Google.
Meanwhile, Meta Platforms, owner of the Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp platforms, has joined the competition with its AI agent, Muse, which can instantly create small applications to help users complete work tasks.
Using the “Claude Meetings” feature, work teams can add the Claude app to any video conference as a visible participant. In this role, Claude follows the conversation and instantly converts it into specific tasks, according to the German news agency dpa.
During participant discussions, Claude can draft the plan under discussion, set a timeline for it, display it on a whiteboard, answer questions raised during the discussion, and access connected workplace applications to retrieve required information, such as the company’s performance figures from the previous year.
After the meeting concludes, the Claude app makes notes, action steps, and other materials it generated during the session available on the Claude.ai platform.
Anthropic states that handling meeting outcomes typically begins only after the meeting ends, but thanks to this new feature, work teams can now convert discussions into actionable steps in real time.
